Occupancy Automation
Hotel rooms spend an average of 11 hours per day unoccupied—yet their air conditioning continues running, wasting valuable energy. SmartREM intelligently detects occupancy in real-time, automatically adjusting HVAC settings the moment guests leave the room.
SmartREM is part of SensorFlow’s broader hotel energy management systems. For whole-room energy management that extends beyond HVAC to lighting, curtains, and keyless entry, explore SmartARC.
Setpoint Limitation
The guests’ setpoint makes a significant difference in the amount of energy used, and the cost the hotel incurs.
By analyzing real-time room data, we determine the ideal temperature range for guest comfort and system optimisation, enabling you to limit the minimum and maximum temperature that the thermostat can be set to.
"We achieved 28% savings (≈552,000 kWh or USD 54,000 annually) without impacting guest comfort … a superior solution and excellent customer support … without compromising on our high standards."

Frequently Asked Questions
How much energy can SmartREM save a hotel?
SmartREM typically cuts HVAC energy waste in guest rooms by 20% to 30%, automatically adjusting settings based on real-time occupancy — one of the fastest ways to become a genuinely energy efficient hotel.
How long does SmartREM take to install?
SmartREM is a non-invasive retrofit that installs in under 10 minutes per room, with no disruption to hotel operations.
What does it cost to install SmartREM?
SmartREM offers flexible payment plans starting from $120 per room upfront, including a low-cost Smart Lease from $5/room per month, an Ownership Payment Plan, or a CAPEX option for full ownership from day one
Will SmartREM cut the AC while a guest is sleeping?
No. SmartREM uses a delay between a room being detected as empty and energy-saving automation taking effect, so a guest is never mistaken for being away. That delay is extended further at night specifically to ensure a sleeping guest is never disturbed, while still maximising savings whenever the room really is unoccupied.
Can SmartREM help manage humidity in guest rooms?
Yes. SmartREM's smart thermostat reads humidity in real time, but the bigger benefit is what it prevents: overcooling a room drives surface temperatures below the dew point, so when warmer, humid air contacts those cold surfaces, moisture condenses — a common cause of mould and musty rooms in hotels. By managing setpoints intelligently, SmartREM stops rooms being overcooled in the first place, keeping humidity and dew point in a safe range even when the room is empty.
We already have a keycard energy-control system — can we still save with SmartREM?
Yes. You can choose to bypass your keycard system and let SmartREM manage the HVAC directly, or leave it in place — either way, SmartREM detects real occupancy independently, so it still catches the wastage even when a guest leaves a card in the slot.
What's a typical ROI for SmartREM?
Typical payback is around 2 to 3 years, depending on your electricity tariff (higher tariffs mean higher savings value) and how much energy is currently being wasted in your guest rooms. We estimate savings based on your property's specific setup, then confirm those figures by installing a subset of rooms first, to verify you'll hit the projected savings before a full rollout.
Will SmartREM work with our VRV/VRF or split unit systems?
Yes — SmartREM works with almost all chillers, split units, and VRV/VRF systems. We confirm exact compatibility early in the conversation by reviewing your equipment's model numbers and thermostat details.
