Due to the integration of the system, hotel power-saving switches and door locks can share a card. When the guest moves the card from the key card power switch, the room power will be automatically cut off.

Left and right bedside lamp: 25~40w*2
Mirror Headlight: 20w
Floor lamp: 25~40w
TV: 120w
Table lamp: 25~40w
Gallery light: 25w
Split air conditioning: 1000w
Total power: 1300w = 1.3kw

If your hotel has 100 rooms, and the electricity unit is USD 0.1 per kWh. With the energy power saving, each room only needs to save 1 hour of electricity per day on average, and the hotel can save electricity cost for: 1.3kw×100 rooms×1 hour/day×365days×USD 0.1/kWh of electricity=USD 4745 per year.
