Occupancy sensor-based energy management systems for guestroom HVAC units have been on the market for 42 years, primarily of the “motion sensor” type that detects movement in a guestroom or other area. These “motion” systems cannot detect the difference between a ceiling fan, moving drapes, or a guest. The first “infrared” (body-heat) sensor-based system was developed in 1980 by William Fizer, founder and President of Lodging Technology. This is Lodging Technology’s 41st year providing Effective, Reliable, and Versatile energy solutions for hospitality.
