Anacove a Preferred Thermostat Vendor for Hotel Group
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Anacove, which offers artificial intelligence-enabled energy-management solutions for the global hotel industry, has been selected by IHG Hotels & Resorts as a preferred vendor of connected thermostats.
According to Anacove CEO Ian Lerner, the selection by IHG Hotels & Resorts as a preferred vendor was based on the results of independent testing that proved Anacove connected thermostats outperformed competitors in three critical areas: efficiency — the most efficient thermostats tested for IHG, consistency of energy savings, and the ability to direct an HVAC system to save energy when a guestroom is occupied.
“We are honored to be named a preferred vendor by IHG, one of the world’s leading hotel companies with 19 hotel brands, over 6,600 hotels, and 987,000 rooms across the globe,” Lerner said in a press release. “Their rigorous testing proved that Anacove connected thermostats provide a cost-effective solution to the IHG Green Engage system requirements, while helping hotel owners and operators cope with annual electricity price increases by significantly reducing energy consumption.”
IHG commissioned Allumia, a commercial energy-as-a-service (EaaS) company, to conduct its testing. Alumina ran the smart thermostat study using revenue-grade meters to determine both baseline and Anacove connected thermostat performance at IHG Hotels & Resorts properties in three metropolitan areas: Atlanta, Georgia; Orange Beach, Alabama; and Fort Walton, Florida, the press release said.
