Days Inn:

• 66-room hotel located in Nashville, TN

Needs:

• Energy and cost savings

Square D / Schneider Electric Meet Needs:

• Powerlink^® G3 System installed to reduce costs and save energy
• Lighting control system contoured to best meet hotel owner’s needs while providing flexibility
• System has scheduling capabilities  

Benefit to Days Inn:

• Since the system was installed in May 2005, monthly electric bills are 10% lower than the corresponding month the year before.
• The Powerlink system features Web-enabled controllers, which means the system can be accessed at any time by simply logging onto the Internet and typing a controller’s IP address into a common Web browser.
• Can now monitor all rooms and areas at any time.
• The system alerts by e-mail and cell phone if a breaker trips

Drew Patel, Days Inn franchise owner, states “I have system access anywhere I have an Internet connection…whenever I log on, I can find out what lights are on in what rooms and which rooms have air conditioning activated. My primary electrical load is dedicated to outdoor lighting, including signage, and I never have to worry about that because lights go on and off based on a schedule I set up within the system. Also, since it was installed I don’t have to come into the property as much as before, allowing for more quality time with my family.”
