“A first impression counts and no more than so than in a hotel. From first stepping into the lobby to walking through the corridors and entering a bedroom, a guest is evaluating the ambience, its look and feel and importantly how comfortable and welcoming the hotel is,” says Sarah-Jane Demolliere, marketing solutions manager at Distech Controls. “The BMS can play an important role in improving environmental conditions for hotel guests as well as reducing the operating and maintenance costs for hotel owners and operators.”


Part of improving the wellbeing and comfort of guests is placing control in their hands. Giving them the opportunity to change the temperature, air conditioning, or even lighting within a space to suit their own requirements and maintain a comfortable environment.


“Hotel guests are becoming more discerning about their comfort, the service offering and the ability to customise their room or space. The challenge is greater than before, customers now want innovative and connected tools and


services. Meanwhile, the hospitality industry must improve services while reducing the costs and energy consumption of its establishment,” adds Demolliere.


In order to meet these needs, Distech Controls offers many solutions including its latest ECLYPSE Sky Ecosystem. This complete ecosystem has been designed to enhance and modernise spaces. Distech Controls’ ECLYPSE Sky Ecosystem is a state-of-the-art solution designed to improve occupant comfort. Utilising Bluetooth technology, the platform allows occupants to interact with their environment from their smartphone with ease, taking advantage of a technology that is familiar to them. The user interface is simple and user-friendly for the multi-business management of spaces, which utilises the following Distech Controls products: uAllure UNITOUCH - a modern and tactile occupant interface


uEC-Multi-Sensor-BLE - a compact and communicating multi-sensor uThe My PERSONIFY mobile app


Personalised comfort


ECLYPSE Sky Ecosystem products fit perfectly in a modern and contemporary environment thanks to their sleek and compact designs. Each occupant is able to easily customise the parameters of their space, whether it is to adjust the temperature, the brightness or the opening and closing of the blinds. Common and individual spaces become more connected and intelligent in order to improve comfort, space and energy efficiency as well as making significant cost savings.

able management specialist, Unitrunk, is providing cable ladder, trunking tray and basket for a new £20 million Hilton Garden Inn project in Stoke-on-Trent as part of the mixed use Smithfield development in the Hanley area of the city.

Constructed by main contractor, Pochin, the 140-room Hilton Garden Inn hotel in Stoke-on-Trent is due to open its doors to its first guests by the end of 2019 and has been funded with the help of a £6.9 million investment from Stoke-on-Trent City Council and a £2.96 million grant from the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). The construction


project is due for completion in November and electrical contractor, Carter M&E selected Unitrunk through wholesalers Rowley Electrical Distributors for the cable management thanks to the ease and speed of use of the company’s RIS (Rapid Installation Systems) solutions.


Unitrunk’s cable management systems will be installed in the new hotel’s corridors, communal areas, bar and kitchen to provide the infrastructure for all power, data, low voltage and alarm system cabling. With tool-free, faster installation from both the company’s UniKlip cable tray and Easyconnect cable basket, the Carter M&E team can reduce installation times by up to 50 per


cent, helping to keep the business- critical, fast-track installation programme on schedule. Rob Hope from Carter M&E comments: “Unitrunk’s complete cable management offering means that we can procure all our cable management requirements for the project from a single UK


manufacturer, ensuring we always have the materials we need on site, aligned to the programme. “The UniKlip ‘klip’ fasteners and Easyconnect’s integral coupler make it much faster and easy to install both the cable tray and cable basket requirements for the project and our team particularly likes the 60mm Easyconnect basket with its double


wire and the divider that reduces the number of individual runs of cable basket required.


“Unitrunk’s RIS cable management systems are helping us to keep the installation on track and will provide a robust electrical infrastructure for this prestigious hotel brand.”
