Energy-saving in the holiday paradise: The Constance Hotels and Resorts rely on WS504
The Constance Hotels & Resorts have sites in Mauritius, in the Seychelles and the Maldives. There, the operators mounted automatic weather stations including the weather sensor WS504 and the precipitation meter WTB100 from Lufft for a special purpose:
"Constance Hotels & Resorts Engineering does its own researches to determine the influence of the meteorological conditions on the energy consumption of our resorts. The studies carry on air conditioning systems adjustment, condensation issues, sun, wind or rain harvesting, natural light and ventilation usage, and many other fields where weather conditions play a key role in our global energy saving program. In order to develop proper strategies, it was essential to have accurate data directly from each resort and the WS504 suits our needs perfectly. By analyzing the continuous flow of data transmitted by the instruments, our engineers have been able to launch programs that have started to pay off", explains the Group Technical Manager Philippe Offre of Constance Hotels & Resorts.
