The business produces very comprehensive monthly reports on energy consumption and I knew that by installing Voltis it could reduce power consumption by some 17%.
For every time a guest flicks on a light, plugs in a computer or watches television at Jurys Inn, the electricity powering each and every device is managed by a breakthrough-technology voltage optimisation system that has reduced the hotel’s electrical load by 17%.
Jurys Inn is one of the first hotels in the country to take advantage of voltage optimisation technology but, as the UK’s greenest hotel group* it is no stranger to introducing green strategies to manage its environmental impact. And, following the success of the VO system at its Birmingham hotel, more sites are being considered for the technology.
Andrew Fletcher, managing director of energy conservation specialist Carbon Control was instrumental in converting Jurys Inn Birmingham to the benefits of voltage optimisation, and in particular Voltis, the most technologically advanced system on the market.
“Jurys is a very well-informed client, with energy/cost savings and environmental concerns being major drivers for their business,” said Mr Fletcher. “The business produces very comprehensive monthly reports on energy consumption and I knew that by installing Voltis it could reduce power consumption by some 17%. Post installation we carried out a verification trial, measuring electrical consumption across a range of fan motors, most of which were also fitted with VSDs, the equipment for the trial having been specified by the hotel. We performed measurements under identical load conditions with and without Voltis operating. The results demonstrated that a saving of 16.96% was being achieved by Voltis. Jurys are very pleased with both the installation and reduction in electrical load that Voltis has delivered.”
