The Nare Hotel has a reputation for quality that is second to none, enjoying stunning views of the Cornish coast makes The Nare a perfect retreat for the discerning customer. Unlike short stay hotel guests, holiday visitors to The Nare often require personalised heating patterns, especially as the hotel is fully occupied all year round, it was clear that a flexible control strategy had to be applied.
Prefect Controls’ experience of the hospitality and student residential markets gives a useful insight into the high expectations of heating and hot water systems, as well as a clear understanding of the need to manage operating costs.
Working closely with the client and the maintenance engineer, the PRE2000 central control system was specified to satisfy demanding control requirements whilst avoiding uneconomic cost. The PRE2000 Series is specifically designed to interface with hotel management software, which makes the system easy to use whilst providing control over temperatures and time profiles all year round. The link into the front-of-house ‘Booking program’ enables the system to anticipate arrivals and raise temperatures to comfort levels in occupied rooms, and lower them to “set-back” when vacant. The connection, in this case with hotel software provider Data Basics, took only a short time to establish, with no disruption to the smooth working of the hotel.
Command signals are transmitted along existing electrical mains network (by Mains Borne Signalling). So, as installation involves no pilot wiring final connection was completed in just a couple of hours, and easily handled within the maintenance engineer’s work schedule.
