NEW HYDE PARK, NY — Evolve Guest Controls completed the installation of its custom keycard-based energy management system in all of the Hilton Inn at Penn’s 244 guestrooms and suites.
Evolve’s keycard-based EMS system controls all of the lighting in the room, the TVs and the HVAC. When the guest enters their room, they insert their keycard into Evolve’s wall-mounted keycard reader and the room activates “comfort” mode. When the guest leaves the room, they take their keycard with them, initiating the room’s “energy efficient” mode whereby all the lighting devices and TVs are powered down, and the thermostat is set back 5 degrees.
To further expand on its standard keycard system, Evolve added a few additional features including a “safety delay” of 10-seconds at the entry when initiating “energy efficient” mode, and a wall mounted LCD 5-button controller in the bathroom for comfort and convenience.
