Enhanced comfort and energy efficiency in
hotels – with Synco and Gamma building
systems
Hotel buildings require special technical solutions. What is needed are low construc-
tion costs, a high level of flexibility to be able to easily rearrange spaces, economical
operation and, naturally, excellent comfort for the guests. The buildings must ensure
optimum working conditions, low energy consumption, safe operation, protection from
damage, and security in emergency situations. Building systems based on conven-
tional technology cannot satisfy most of these requirements.
As a supplier of products and systems for all sectors of building automation and con-
trol, Siemens offers integrated, energy-efficient and tested solutions – from the pro-
duction of heat and cooling energy to individual room control and from energy distribu-
tion to the power outlet in the hotel room, thus meeting all requirements.
There are different types of integrated applications:
·"Integrated room applications" comprise HVAC, lighting and shading control with the
option of manual intervention from the room
·"Integrated room primary applications" comprise HVAC, lighting and shading control
with the option of manual intervention from the room, but also including a connec-
tion to primary plant, which ensures optimum communication between the room and
the heating/refrigeration plant – guaranteeing maximum energy efficiency
The present Application Manual describes 7 variants of a guest room in a hotel and
one variant each of lobby, restaurant, fitness room, and primary plant. With all applica-
tions, the focus is placed on energy efficiency and comfort. The different variants offer
room automation with fan coil units, radiators and floor heating systems as well as
ventilation and VAV plant with a host of products from Siemens’ KNX range: From
simple solutions with fan coil units including switching of electric circuits to VAV sys-
tems for larger rooms with automatic lighting and blind control. Manual control is al-
ways possible. There is no need to worry about energy savings since these are auto-
matically ensured by the system. Moreover, the best climatic and lighting conditions
are guaranteed for all sections of the hotel.
Each application variant is subdivided into the following sections:
·Features/benefits
·Room setup
·Device list
·Function description
·Secondary documents
Synco devices use standard group addresses to distribute system time and infor-
mation about plant malfunctions. When an application program is downloaded to the
Synco devices via ETS, the group addresses are deleted. For this reason, the special
group addresses must be downloaded via ETS. Otherwise, the Synco devices will not
be able to communicate. The group addresses can be downloaded from the Internet
at www.siemens.com/knx-td
This document describes examples of room applications and makes proposals for
their implementation. For configuration and parameterization of the individual devices,
please refer to the respective application and function sheets which can be download-
ed from the Internet at www.siemens.com/hit or www.siemens.com/knx-td

Summary
No. Functions Benefits Page
1Fan coil unit, radiator, lighting,
sun protection
(hotel room)
Efficiency class B11
Heating and cooling, 1 control loop:
·Automatic or manual fan control, 1- or 3-
speed
·Automatic or manual changeover of heat-
ing/cooling mode
·Window contact – central detection of open
windows
·Detection of presence via hotel card switch
·Presence- and time-dependent control of
HVAC, lighting, sun protection and power
supply to the room
·Dimming and switching of lighting
·Operation and display of HVAC
·Simple and flexible installation thanks to
wireless technology
·Pushbuttons for "SOS", "Make up room" and
"Do not disturb"
·Demand-compensated production of heat
and cooling energy thanks to automatic data
exchange with primary plant
Individual room temperature control and automatic data ex-
change with primary plant together save up to 30% heat-
ing/cooling energy.
Time- and presence-dependent temperature control saves up
to 20% heating/cooling energy.
Presence-dependent control of lighting and power supply
saves electrical energy.
Time- and daylight-dependent shading control saves heat-
ing/cooling energy when the room is not occupied.
Display of energy efficiency saves energy: Facility manager and
personnel are informed about energy waste and error messages
(e.g. open windows during nonoccupancy times).
Installation: Straightforward and flexible thanks to wireless tech-
nology – saves time and material.
