The Challenge
Hilton wanted to meet a critical need in a city looking to further boost tourism: offer an affordable four-star, focused-service option in an area saturated with five-star offerings. However, Hilton had to answer some tough questions: How could they keep operations lean and efficient? To what extent could they control energy costs? Would they be able to meet tight development timelines and still ensure the facility met their sustainability standards? And, most importantly, could they do all of this and still deliver an exceptional guest experience? The hotel was constructed on a tight timeline and included the added challenge of achieving certification in the LEED building program, the most widely used green building rating system in the world.
About The Customer
Hilton Garden Inn Dubai Mall of the Emirates is a four-star hotel located next to the Mall of the Emirates and its world-famous indoor ski slope. The hotel is the largest Hilton Garden Inn outside the U.S. and is one of Hilton’s most efficient and sustainable hotels. The hotel was constructed on a tight timeline and included the added challenge of achieving certification in the LEED building program, the most widely used green building rating system in the world. The hotel was awarded LEED Gold Certification and actually opened ahead of schedule.
The Solution
Hilton chose the Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Building solution, which includes a building management system, EcoStruxure Building Operation, and a guest room management system, EcoStruxure Guest Room Expert. Integrating Schneider’s building management (BMS) and guest room management systems (GRMS) with Hilton’s property management system (PMS) on a single technology platform was crucial to Hilton achieving its goals. They wanted to do their part in combating climate change, and to have a facility that was both operationally and energy efficient, all while maintaining their high standard for guest satisfaction. The integration of these three systems (BMS, GRMS, and PMS) is unique, with only a handful of hotels in the world currently employing it so far. And it has significant advantages. Because of this integration, every phase of a guest’s experience is recognized by the system.

Intelligent Building Automation System and Energy Saving Solution
One of the most difficult problems facing the world is conserving energy in buildings. However, it is not easy to have a cost-effective solution to reduce energy usage in a building. One solution for saving energy is to implement an intelligent building automation system (BAS) which can be controlled according to its schedule. In Indonesia a large university with a five floor building and 22 classrooms wanted to save the amount of energy being used.
