Make guests happy
Boost the bottom line
Pampering your guests is your priority.
Hotel guests expect to be welcomed with
a pleasing ambiance and efficient service,
whether they are checking into a luxury resort
or an economy hotel. A positive experience
means that a guest will return.
Hotels are complex facilities with large
fluctuations in occupancy: reception areas,
restaurants, conference rooms, offices,
housekeeping, fitness centers and spas all
have different requirements. And each guest
chooses their own settings inside their room.
Schneider Electric solutions are an active part
of the design of your hotel and ensure a level
of comfort that fits your guest expectations.
Schneider Electric’s experience and
continuous dialogue with hotel decision
makers are the foundation for our solutions,
from simple stand-alone applications to fully
integrated systems. All this is accomplished
with respect for the environment.
While guest satisfaction is your goal,
operating efficiency is a close second.
Operating costs in hotels are traditionally
high – partly due to environmental and
security requirements – and this means
increased energy use.
So you can concentrate on guest satisfaction
while boosting your bottom line.
What impressed me most is the willingness and ability to
customize their products to meet our requirements. Such high
degree of customisation is only possible when the company treats
this as part of their philosophy. I suspect that the organization
processes and the products are premeditated to fit this purpose
from the beginning.

Creating a unique atmosphere in a hotel is the aim of every hotel designer.
The guest’s impression begins in the hotel lobby, continues in the public
spaces like restaurants, conference rooms, shops and spas, and is centered in
the guestroom. Comprehensive lighting and environmental control fashions a
perfect experience for your guest in their room.

Redefine comfort
Create the mood
Would your guests appreciate the relaxing
convenience of switching off the lights right
from their bedside? Maybe they do not want
to be disturbed. Or perhaps they want their
room to be cleaned. No problem. All your
guest has to do is push a single button in the
room.
Technology is a big part of life in your hotel.
Schneider Electric offers intuitive solutions
so guests can adjust room setting from
the TV and connect their own devices
like computers and MP3 players. Modern
travelers can create the right mood for work
or entertainment.
3
To make it even easier, you can select
predefined scenes so that your guests just
push a button for each occasion. When the
sleep button is pressed, for example, the
lights in the guestroom are set to a night
configuration, the curtains are closed, the
temperature is reduced and the door bell is
deactivated.
The Best
Just Got Better
The best just got better with Clipsal’s
eDLT. With the ability to customise
the colour of the display and buttons,
advanced device control and
intuitive functionality, the eDLT offers
fantastic features and benefits that
will enhance and complement your
lifestyle.
The eDLT provides sophisticated and
user-friendly control of your C-Bus
System with innovative features such
as dual action buttons, high resolution
colour screen and status information
like temperature and time. Put simply,
the eDLT is Australia’s most advanced
wall switch.
Stunning Design. Complete Control
Clipsal’s eDLT offers a contemporary
design that will complement any
modern interior.
It’s clean architectural lines and glass
or metallic fascia create a visually
stunning wall switch. The ability to
control up to 16 devices, eliminates
the “clutter” associated with multiple
wall switches, simplifying the control
of your home from one stylish unit.
Complementing this, the high
resolution colour screen and LED
indicators can be customised to
match your interior decor or provide a
striking accent of colour – creating a
touch of enviable style in your home.

A single, simple
connection panel for all
your guests’ devices
A quick peek into the luggage of a modern traveller
typically reveals a collection of electronic devices.
You might fi nd a laptop computer, a digital camera, an
MP3, a portable DVD player, PDA and more. Yet few hotels
are equipped to allow guests to get the most from their
gadgets. Typically, outlets are scattered around a room.
They are diffi cult for guests to reach and not aesthetically
pleasing.
Now, thanks to Schneider Electric innovative EPIC
Organiser, you can delight your guests with a room or suite
that is completely compatible with all their devices.
Change the features to
match the future
When technology changes in the future, you’ll be able to
easily upgrade the EPIC organiser to accomodate those
changes. That’s because the EPIC Organiser features a
fully modular design.
Right from the start you will be able to choose the best
configuration to suit the room and application needs.
5
Add connectivity to your boardroom
The EPIC Organiser allows for easy connectivity in
the boardroom. Video conferencing and audio/visual
presentations have never been so easy.
There are a number of quality glass fascias available
in the range to ensure a professional look in your
boardroom.
The functionality of EPIC will create a facility that is user
friendly and easily maintained by all staff and guests. No
special technical expertise is required.
Add a multimedia dimension to your guests’ enjoyment
Guests who encounter an EPIC Organiser will boast to
their friends and colleagues how your hotel let them:
• Link their laptops to the in-room AV system for
big-screen computing
• View the videos and photographs they shot that day
on the in-room television
• Work more efficiently and have fun via the in-room
interface to their PDA, PSP and other game machines.
• Connect their MP3 and video player to the in-room AV
system to enjoy their personal entertainment

A Simple Solution to
Your Complex Needs
Do more while using less
The complexity, cost and pressure of running
your hotel is intense. Unnecessary lighting,
cooling or heating for hours while guests
are away, heightened security concerns,
extreme occupancy fluctuations, increasing
energy costs, struggles to keep guest acc
ommodations competitive — all attribute
to the rising cost of operation and need
focused attention to improve your bottom
line.
Schneider Electric helps you do more
while using less. Our energy management
solutions allow you to monitor, manage and
control your property to help keep guests
safe, systems reliable, staff productive,
energy consumption efficient and operations
sustainable.
Take control of your energy and achieve
up to 30% savings by choosing simple,
stand-alone applications or one complete,
environmentally-sustainable solution.
Whether retrofitting, remodeling or building
a new hotel, Schneider Electric is your one
source for seamless energy management
solutions.

How much can energy-efficient solutions
save a hotel? Imagine a sensor in every
guestroom connected to the building
management system: it allows preset
adjustment of lighting and temperature
when the guest is away. Since more than
30 percent of a hotel’s energy is used in
the guestroom, the potential savings are
substantial.
Schneider Electric is a leader in energy
management. The electrical distribution of
your entire hotel can be managed through
our extended portfolio of products, from
medium- to low-voltage electrical distribution.
Each installation is designed in accordance
with local standards and regulations.
With intelligent solutions and energy audits,
Schneider Electric helps reduce your energy
bill and maximizes your return on investment;
HVAC and water heating are two typical
sources of savings.
Integration allows you to control all the
functions inside your hotel. Because our
systems are open, every control system can
be linked to every other system, including
those from other vendors. These systems
might include building management, security,
electrical, water, lighting and the IP network
for new and refurbished hotels.
Improved comfort and savings
Providing unparalleled building performance
has always been our top priority. Through
a single, smart device, the SE8000 Series
room controllers deliver all the comfort
and control functionality found in direct
digital control (DDC) systems. Our ability to
significantly increase energy savings, at a
lower total cost of ownership, dramatically
accelerates the return on investment for most
typical retrofit projects.
We understand that usability is important
to our customers. The SE8000 Series also
focuses on providing a comfortable user
experience in environments where the
occupant expects a bit more. The SE8000
Series’ elegant design and fully customisable
touch screen display allows upscale hotels,
corporate offices, and high-end retail stores
to offer an unforgettable user experience.
Harmonizing our controller with your brand
image — or the unique tastes of your guests
— has never been easier.

Intelligent energy solutions
deliver big savings
We deliver the expertise
How much can our intelligent energy
solutions save a hotel? Imagine just one
simple solution: a motion sensor in every
guestroom. This lowcost device can be
linked to the Schneider Electric building
management system to detect when a room
is occupied and when it is empty. Since
guestrooms make up more than 30 percent
of a hotel’s energy use, the savings from this
approach alone are substantial.
As a global leader in energy management,
Schneider Electric delivers intelligent energy
efficiency solutions to thousands of hotels
around the world. What can we do for you?
Dramatically reduce your energy bill and
maximize your return on investment without
sacrificing guest comfort.

network so that your hotel operations work
in perfect harmony. Through energy audits
and extended energy services, we ensure

facilities, year after year. And you are free to
focus on what you do best—serving your
guests.
