An industry configuration of Smart EMS
Operating challenges
Scepi Smart EMS brings together available energy data from a hotel's HVAC, hot water, kitchen, laundry and other systems. Consumption can be understood alongside occupancy, guest nights, weather and service operating hours.
Operating context
Identifying unnecessary operation in vacant or rarely used zones.
Events and comparisons
Energy per guest night, accounting for occupancy and the mix of services.
Scoped integration
Aligning schedules and approved operating modes with guest comfort.
From data to a decision
Measure the right things
Compare like-for-like operating periods and investigate changes before attributing them to an energy action.

Operating hours and temperature deviations. Sensor and data-source compatibility is assessed during scoping.
The shared platform
A shared view of operations
Smart EMS brings accessible meter and operating data together. Monitor provides visibility; Executive supports analysis and reporting; Autopilot adds approved control. Interfaces, alerts, retention and integrations are scoped for the site.

| Assumption | Annual net benefit |
|---|---|

Uses 50%, 100% and 150% of the entered energy and water saving rates, capped at 100% savings. A sensitivity analysis, not a forecast.
How is this calculated?
Annual net benefit = energy cost × energy saving rate + water cost × water saving rate − annual licence − other annual costs. Payback = one-off investment / annual net benefit. First-year ROI = (annual net benefit − one-off investment) / one-off investment × 100%.
The model assumes constant annual costs and savings. It excludes financing, tax, inflation, discounting and residual value. Measurement supports decisions; savings require validated actions and follow-up measurement. Food safety, process and operational limits take priority.

What must be measured
Measured reductions in operating hours aligned with occupancy and use. Resolving investigated building-services anomalies.
The calculator includes only the energy and water cost buckets entered above. Capacity, avoided damage and other value must be evaluated separately from evidence.
Implementation
Start with a defined measurement scope.
We define the decision to support, the data needed and the operating limits before implementing the integration.
- Aggregated occupancy and guest-night data, without personal guest information.
- Accessible BMS, HVAC and meter interfaces.
- Defined comfort, hot-water and service requirements.
Survey and scope
Meter list, interfaces, responsibilities and a comparable baseline.
Connect and verify
Connect the required data, test timestamps, gaps and alerts.
Act and measure again
Approve any control rules, test fallback and manual override, then measure results against the agreed baseline.
Frequently asked questions
Questions worth clarifying.
Is personal guest information needed?
Energy indicators generally require only aggregated occupancy, guest nights and service operating hours. The implementation should define the data and access necessary for the intended purpose.
How is guest comfort maintained?
The control project defines permitted operating modes and comfort ranges in advance. Monitoring first makes unnecessary operation and deviations visible; interventions must not depend on an undisclosed reduction in service.
Why is kWh per guest night not enough on its own?
It is a useful starting point, but wellness facilities, kitchens, events, weather and the building's fixed baseload also affect it. These factors need to be considered separately when making comparisons.
What does the annual licence include?
Monitor, Executive and Autopilot are annual per-site software licences. Meters, hardware, integration, implementation, operations and optional modules are separately scoped and priced. The calculator uses the published licence prices and editable project budgets.
