Insights
Honeywell's launch of INNCOM Direct represents a significant step in democratizing energy management technology for the hospitality sector. By extending this solution to mid-market hotels, Honeywell is addressing a important gap in the market. The system's ability to autonomously adjust HVAC settings based on room occupancy could lead to substantial energy savings, potentially reducing HVAC energy consumption by up to 25%.
The cloud-based nature of INNCOM Direct allows for scalability across hotel portfolios, providing a comprehensive view of energy usage patterns. This data-driven approach enables hoteliers to make informed decisions about energy management strategies. Moreover, the system's compatibility with mobile devices enhances ease of use and real-time control.
While the immediate impact on Honeywell's financials may be modest, this launch aligns with the growing demand for sustainable solutions in the hospitality industry, positioning the company for long-term growth in this sector.
INNCOM Direct's introduction is timely, given the hospitality industry's current challenges and evolving priorities. With over 30% of U.S. hotel rooms potentially vacant at any time, energy management becomes important for operational efficiency. This system addresses a significant pain point for mid-market hotels, which often lack access to sophisticated energy management tools.
The solution's ability to maintain guest comfort while optimizing energy use is particularly noteworthy. It strikes a balance between operational efficiency and guest satisfaction, which is vital for hotels in the competitive mid-market segment. The potential for portfolio-wide implementation could be especially attractive for hotel chains looking to standardize their energy management practices across multiple properties.
While adoption rates remain to be seen, INNCOM Direct could become a differentiator for hotels seeking to appeal to increasingly eco-conscious travelers, potentially influencing booking decisions and brand perception in the long run.

"As hotels become more carbon-conscious, they are taking meaningful steps to show they care about their impact on the environment," said Billal Hammoud, president and chief executive officer of Honeywell Building Automation. "Until now, mid-market hotels faced fewer options when it came to better managing their HVAC systems with automation. Now, INNCOM Direct is leveling the playing field with an affordable, cloud-based energy management system."
The INNCOM technology was previously only accessible to high-end hotel operators. Now, this combination of hardware, software and cloud monitoring provides mid-market, also known as limited-service, hotels with quick setup and portfolio analytics that can be accessed from mobile devices or a dashboard and can be used either on a single property or across an entire portfolio.
Since empty rooms and common areas do not need the same level of heating or cooling, INNCOM Direct uses a proprietary detection system to identify empty spaces and autonomously adjust the temperature without impacting consumer comfort. Similarly, unrented guest rooms can be set to a specific setting that can be heated or cooled to a more comfortable temperature once a guest checks in. If a guest leaves a room for an extended time, INNCOM Direct can change the temperature to an eco-friendlier temperature that is then automatically adjusted when the guest returns.

"Hotel rooms are getting bigger and bigger, and we needed something that will deliver energy savings, especially when guests aren't using the room or a common area is empty," said Hitesh Patel, vice president of Halifax Hospitality. "Utility costs are going up just like anything else. We're always looking to find the next big thing to cut costs where we can."
