Measuring concept for hotels:
Keep energy consumption under control with the Stromfee diary
Introduction to Hotel Energy Management
Energy efficiency is playing an increasingly important role in the hotel industry. With rising energy prices and a growing awareness of environmental issues, hoteliers are looking for ways to reduce consumption. This is where the Stromfee diary comes into play.
Why a specific measurement concept for hotels?
Hotels have a unique structure. They accommodate guest rooms, restaurants, wellness areas and more. Each of these areas has different energy needs. A tailor-made measurement concept helps to monitor consumption precisely.
Core components of the measurement concept
1
Total Electricity Consumption:
An overview of the hotel's total energy consumption.
2
Combined heat and power plants (CHP):
These are combined electricity and heat generation systems. Their consumption must be recorded separately as they often make up a large part of a hotel's energy needs.
3
Guest room:
Individual measurements for each room or for entire floors. This allows you to identify peak usage times and inefficient rooms.
4
Common areas:
Hallways, lobby, conference rooms and other common areas.
5
Special areas:
Restaurants, wellness areas or fitness rooms that have special energy needs.
Advantages of the electricity fee diary for hotels
The Stromfee Diary, an AI-powered energy monitor, enables detailed monitoring of energy consumption in real time. Thanks to hardware components that work with the MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) protocol, hoteliers receive accurate data to make informed decisions.
Hotel Measurement Concept: A Comprehensive Introduction
Title: Optimization of energy consumption in hotels: A measurement concept for the future
1
Introduction
Hotels are complex facilities with many different energy consumers. A well-thought-out measurement concept is essential to monitor and optimize energy consumption. Using my experience from numerous energy audits in hotels, I would like to introduce you to a basic structure for such a measurement concept.

Combined heat and power plant (CHP)
The CHP (combined heat and power plant) is a central energy source in many hotels. It generates both electricity and heat and is therefore an important factor in overall energy consumption.
Key Points:
-
Monitoring of electricity and heat generation.
-
Recording of maintenance intervals and efficiency.
