The rooms at Sjøholt are of the high-end type. Knutholmen wanted to use smart and sustainable technology to be able to offer guests self-service options such as key-less access. That way their guests could go straight to their room and avoid waiting in line at reception. They also looked for a solution for smart control of heaters and floor heating so that they could reduce unnecessary use.

Solution
Knutholmen saves a lot of time on key logistics as opposed to having a mechanical key. By automating guest access, a lot is simplified for both the guests and the business. Invite automates the temperature using booking information retrieved from Visbook and so the heaters are not heating unnecessarily. By using this solution, energy consumption and access are made more efficient. It is an important measure and focus area for Knutholmen to be able to use such sustainable solutions.
