Hotel Hanza Gdańsk
Fact Check
Challenge
Recently, we had the pleasure of working with the owner of the Hanza Hotel, who asked us for help in understanding the extremely high electricity bills.During the on-site inspection, we discovered that key systems in the facility, including the gas boiler room and the ventilation and air conditioning system, were not properly adjusted. This can be a major source of excessive energy consumption.
Here are the steps we intend to take to resolve this issue:
Identifying issues: We will conduct a detailed analysis to understand how your current systems work and where inefficiencies occur.
Energy audit: we will examine all aspects of energy consumption and identify specific sources of waste.
Recommendations for improvements: based on the audit results, we will propose appropriate regulations and modernizations that will help improve the hotel's energy efficiency.
Monitoring effects: after making changes, we will track energy consumption to assess whether the introduced actions bring the expected results.
Staff education: We will engage employees in energy saving activities by educating them on best practices.
Taking steps to improve energy efficiency will not only reduce operating costs, but will also contribute to the hotel's greater sustainability, which guests will certainly appreciate.
Solution
Here are the activities we managed to carry out as part of the project to modernize the gas boiler room and the energy management system at the Hanza Hotel:1. Diagram of the gas boiler room: we have developed a detailed diagram of the boiler room, which includes the replacement of all equipment, the construction of new cold buffers and the implementation of an advanced control system for these devices using Loxone automation.
2. Energy consumption analyzers: the first step in our project was to install 8 power network analyzers that will allow for ongoing monitoring of electricity consumption.
3. Conclusions from the analysis: based on the collected data, we discovered that the chillers turn on many times, even at night when there is no demand. This generates significant energy losses, which we can minimize through appropriate regulations.
4. SPOT tariff simulation: we additionally simulated the profitability of switching to the SPOT tariff, which turned out to be very beneficial and will enable significant savings.
5. Next steps: we will soon start rebuilding the boiler room and ventilation units. It is also planned to modernize hotel rooms using the innovative Loxone system, which will significantly improve guest comfort and energy efficiency.

The decision to introduce the Loxone system to the Hanza Hotel was based on several key factors that make this system an extremely valuable tool in optimizing energy consumption. Here's why Loxone is the perfect solution for our project:
1. Analytical tools: the Loxone system offers advanced analytical tools that enable accurate identification of devices generating unnecessary electricity consumption. Thanks to this, we can identify areas where changes need to be made.
2. Data visualization: data visualization provided by Loxone allows you to focus on places where the savings would be the greatest. Intuitive charts and reports make it easier to spot energy consumption trends and make informed decisions.
3. The beginning of a major modernization: the installation of network analyzers is just the first step in a major modernization of the hotel. The Loxone system is flexible and allows for easy expansion and integration with other devices and systems, which makes it fit perfectly into our long-term vision.
4. Energy efficiency: by using Loxone, we can achieve our savings goals and significantly improve the energy efficiency of the facility, which will translate into lower bills and a more sustainable development of the hotel.
Choosing the Loxone system is a key step towards more intelligent and energy-efficient hotel management, which will benefit both us and our guests.
