Many hotels know that heating is one of their biggest energy expenses – yet many hesitate to implement smart control systems.
Why? Often because of a misconception: that it requires large investments, renovation, or advanced technology. In reality, it’s much simpler than that.
From classic panel heaters to smart rooms – in just a few hours.
With today’s technology, it is often enough to:
-
replace standard heaters with smart, connected models, or
-
simply replace the old thermostat with a digital thermostat.
No extensive installation. No operational downtime.
In just a few hours, a hotel room can be ready for automated heating and energy control.
How it works with Invite Guest Technology
Let Invite adjust the temperature in rooms that are not in use.
Invite offers an integrated system where the booking platform communicates directly with the hotel’s heating units.
When a room is unoccupied, the temperature is automatically reduced. When the guest checks in, the heating increases to the desired level.
The result:
-
No energy wasted.
-
Staff avoid manual adjustments.
-
Guests arrive to a perfectly temperate room – every time.
Economy and sustainability – hand in hand
Smart energy control isn’t just about saving money, even though the effect is clear.
For a medium-sized hotel, annual savings can reach 80,000–100,000 SEK/NOK – and the investment often pays for itself during the first winter.
At the same time, the carbon footprint is significantly reduced, making the technology an obvious step towards more sustainable operations.
Small adjustments – big impact
In many cases, all it takes is:
replacing a few heaters,
-
upgrading the thermostats, and
-
connecting them to the Invite system.
No costly renovation – just smart technology making use of the hotel’s existing infrastructure.
Make your hotel smarter – and more sustainable
By connecting the booking system and the heating control, the hotel gains complete control over both comfort and energy consumption.
It’s a simple change that makes a big difference – for the economy, the environment, and the guest experience.
Eco-mode with one click
Invite allows you to create templates that control the temperature in individual rooms, entire sections, or the whole property.
With a single click, selected rooms can be placed in eco-mode – for example during low occupancy or between guest stays.
When the next booking is registered, the system automatically switches to comfort mode so the room is warm and ready well before arrival.
The result is an optimal indoor climate when needed – and energy savings when it isn’t.

Invite is a modular system
Do you find Invite interesting but are unsure whether you need the full system? Customize Invite based on your business’s needs. With the core module, you don’t exclude any future possibilities and can benefit from automation with the booking system right from day one. We’ve noticed that many of our customers choose to expand the system over time as they see how much time is freed up for other tasks, such as hosting or service, instead of manning the reception.
Invite is suitable for
Today, Invite is used by hotels, cabin and apartment rentals, commercial campgrounds, and construction site accommodations. We often say that if you have more than three rental units and a booking system, you’ll benefit from bringing everything together in the Invite control panel. You maintain a full overview – while Invite handles everything that can be automated.
