New York City Hilton Signs Entic to Increase Building Efficiency

Hotels are a key fob in the Smart Building implementation infrastructure gearchain. It’s a place to show proof of concepts and introduce new technology to consumers in a controlled, strategic way. New York City is home to thousands of hotels, and one of its largest is well underway toward full implementation of smart technology.

According to a recent announcement from Entic, a smart building software and IoT developer, it has been chosen by New York Hilton Midtown to provide operational efficiency and energy savings through enhanced visibility into the hotel's major energy consuming systems. The project marks the 26th engagement between Entic and Hilton, who in 2015 embarked on an enterprise-wide initiative to bring energy savings and sustainability to the hospitality leader's portfolio of properties.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to work with New York Hilton Midtown and to extend our collaboration to this marquee property,” said Carlos Diaz, CEO, Entic. “Using real-time data analysis from the building's major energy consuming systems, we'l gain unprecedented insights into its operation and work towards our goal of identifying and reducing significant energy waste within the first 30 days.”

New York Hilton Midtown is 47 stories tall and has more than 1,900 guest rooms and 150,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, making it one of the largest hotels in New York City. The building is also home to the city's largest hotel ballroom and largest self-contained function space.

As an iconic destination, the property has vastly different energy needs throughout the year. By partnering with Entic, the hotel hopes to gain comprehensive insights into the true performance of its systems and be able to achieve year-round peak efficiency. Entic’s cloud-based technology is designed to provide operators and owners the ability to see, predict and prescribe corrective action year-round, resulting in significant financial impact and unprecedented results.
