For hotel and multifamily property managers, controlling energy costs while ensuring guest and resident comfort is a never-ending challenge. Heating and cooling expenses account for a significant portion of a building’s operational costs, often making up 40–60% of total energy consumption. Without a smart system in place, HVAC systems waste energy heating or cooling unoccupied rooms, which leads to higher utility bills and unnecessary strain on equipment.
This is where Verdant smart thermostats come in. Designed for hotels, multifamily buildings, and other commercial properties, Verdant’s energy management thermostat delivers automation, cost savings, and a superior guest experience. Whether you operate a luxurious hotel or a student housing property, the Verdant energy management system helps you cut costs, streamline operations, and optimize energy efficiency—without sacrificing comfort.
The Verdant system is installed in over 7,500 hotels, multifamily properties, senior living and student housing communities across North America and Europe.
Here’s how Verdant thermostats (VX4 series, VX series, ZX series) can transform energy management for your property:
1. Stop Wasting Energy on Empty Rooms
A major energy drain in hotels and multifamily buildings comes from heating or cooling rooms that aren’t occupied. Guests and residents often leave thermostats running at extreme settings when they leave, whether it’s blasting cold air in summer or cranking up the heat in winter. This results in huge amounts of wasted energy, driving up operational costs and placing unnecessary strain on HVAC systems.
Verdant smart thermostats eliminate this issue with built-in occupancy sensors. These sensors detect when a room is vacant through motion and body heat, then automatically adjust the temperature to an energy-saving mode. The moment a guest or resident returns, the thermostat seamlessly restores the temperature to the preferred setting.
This intelligent automation can reduce HVAC energy runtimes by up to 45%, a game-changing difference for properties looking to lower costs and prevent unnecessary heating or cooling.
2. Slash Energy Costs Without Lifting a Finger
Energy bills can take a huge bite out of a property’s bottom line, but Verdant thermostats provide a simple, automated way to significantly reduce energy waste. Unlike traditional thermostats that operate on static schedules, Verdant’s adaptive learning technology continuously fine-tunes HVAC settings based on real occupancy data.
The Verdant energy management system automatically adjusts temperature settings to align with guest behavior, ensuring that rooms are only heated or cooled when necessary. Additionally, custom energy profiles allow property managers to set efficiency goals based on seasonal trends, peak occupancy periods, or local weather conditions. This means you’re not just saving energy—you’re optimizing it based on real-world usage patterns.
By implementing Verdant’s energy management thermostats, properties typically see a significant reduction in heating and cooling costs.
3. Manage Your Thermostats from Anywhere
Gone are the days of manually adjusting thermostats or sending maintenance staff room by room to make changes. Verdant Thermostat Manager, a cloud-based platform, allows property managers to monitor, control, and adjust thermostats remotely, whether they oversee one building or an entire portfolio.
From a single dashboard, managers can set temperature limits, schedule automatic adjustments, and receive real-time energy usage reports. This level of control ensures that HVAC systems aren’t running inefficiently and helps properties address potential issues before they become costly problems.
In addition, the platform provides alerts and notifications if a thermostat is running outside of optimal settings, giving managers the ability to correct inefficiencies instantly. This remote access translates to time savings, reduced maintenance costs, and improved overall efficiency.
4. Integrate Seamlessly, Whether Retrofits or New Construction
One of the biggest concerns for property managers considering smart energy solutions is whether they’ll need to replace existing HVAC systems. Many energy management solutions require costly upgrades, extensive rewiring, or even infrastructure overhauls.
With Verdant thermostats, there’s no need for a major renovation or expensive integration. The system is designed to work with existing HVAC systems, boasting unmatched compatibility whether your property has PTACs, fan coil units, VRFs, or central HVAC systems.
For properties with older buildings, Verdant’s plug-and-play design makes retrofitting easy, with installation taking just minutes per room. This means hotels and multifamily buildings can start saving immediately—without disrupting daily operations or requiring costly upgrades.
5. Get Real-Time Energy Insights & Reports
Understanding energy usage trends is key to optimizing efficiency and reducing costs. Yet, many property managers rely on guesswork rather than real data when making energy decisions. Verdant solves this by providing in-depth energy reports, offering insights into room-level energy consumption, peak usage times, and areas of improvement.
These reports help properties pinpoint where energy waste is happening, identify rooms or units with excessive energy use, and track long-term savings. By leveraging this data, managers can fine-tune their energy management strategies to achieve maximum efficiency.
In addition, these insights can be used to justify sustainability investments, demonstrate ROI to stakeholders, and ensure compliance with energy efficiency regulations.
6. Improve Guest & Resident Comfort Without Waste
One of the biggest concerns with energy-saving technology is whether it will negatively impact guest or resident experience. After all, no one wants to walk into a freezing hotel room in winter or a stifling apartment in summer.
Verdant’s system ensures energy efficiency never comes at the expense of comfort. The thermostat automatically adjusts to optimal settings before guests or residents even notice a change, maintaining a consistent, comfortable temperature at all times.
Unlike rigid energy-saving policies that force temperature cutoffs, Verdant allows guests and residents to adjust settings within a defined range, ensuring they always have control over their comfort.
7. Support ESG & Sustainability Goals
Sustainability is no longer just a trend—it’s a core business priority. Hotels and multifamily properties are under increasing pressure to reduce carbon footprints, meet ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals, and comply with stricter energy efficiency standards.
Verdant smart thermostats help properties achieve sustainability targets by reducing unnecessary HVAC usage and cutting overall energy consumption. Properties using the Verdant system have achieved energy savings up to 18%, making it easier to meet green building certifications like LEED.
For hotel brands and property managers committed to corporate sustainability initiatives, Verdant provides tangible results with measurable energy savings.
8. Seamlessly Integrate with Smart Building Systems
Verdant isn’t just a standalone thermostat—it’s part of a larger smart building ecosystem.
For hotel managers, Verdant integrates with leading PMS systems including Opera, Fosse, OnQ, LightSpeed, HotelKey, and more.
For multifamily properties, Verdant can sync with smart home platforms, allowing residents to control thermostats alongside other smart devices. Verdant thermostats can be linked with building automation platforms, streamlining operations across lighting and door locks.
By combining Verdant with other smart technologies, properties can maximize efficiency, improve automation, and future-proof their energy management strategies.
