ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION IN HOTEL CONSTRUCTION: 
FROM CHALLENGES TO OPPORTUNITIES WITH PLUGGABLE SOLUTIONS

⚙️ THE CHALLENGE

The hotel industry faces numerous challenges when it comes to electrical installations, including the pressure to complete installations in a short space of time, the need to keep costs under control and at the same time comply with standards and regulations. The ongoing shortage of skilled labour in the electrical installation sector makes implementation even more difficult. In addition, successful planning requires the ability to scale up and integrate different manufacturers of equipment such as switches, sockets, room automation devices, lights and fans. These diverse requirements often make conventional cabling systems inefficient and inadequate.

🚀 THE OPPORTUNITY

The integration of pluggable electrical installation systems opens up a wide range of opportunities for hotels. In particular, the high level of scalability is of crucial importance, as hotels often have different requirements for their electrical infrastructure. A high degree of prefabrication means that time-consuming installation work can be minimised, which in turn helps to overcome the increasing shortage of skilled labour. This efficient prefabrication also enables improved coordination and optimisation of the entire construction process, which ultimately leads to faster completion of the project.

🔧 THE SOLUTION

Our customised solutions for pluggable electrical installations not only offer you the safety and reliability of conventional systems, but go above and beyond. With gesis®, we rely on state-of-the-art technologies that enable you to install or replace electrical components quickly and easily with a very high degree of prefabrication. This increases our adaptability to changing requirements and optimises the energy efficiency of your hotel rooms.

FROM CHALLENGES TO OPPORTUNITIES: 
OUR EFFICIENT ELECTRICAL SOLUTIONS FOR HOTELS

A hotel often epitomises a temporary home. With this in mind, we design our electrical solutions with a clear goal in mind: every aspect, from functionality (with a focus on room automation) to sustainability (emphasised by energy-efficient electrical installations) and adaptability (especially in the case of subsequent room changes), should correspond to the comfort and familiarity of your own four walls. After all, guests like to stay in an environment where they feel at home and will always return.

Structured cabling: 
energy distribution in the area

The structured cabling of the hotel rooms can be realised quickly and easily with a 10 mm² gesis® NRG flat cable. Prefabricated distributors are used in the rooms, each of which is fed by the flat cable. If required, automation systems such as KNX or similar systems can also be integrated into the overall system via additional plug-in coding.

ROOM INSTALLATION WITH DISTRIBUTOR AND INTEGRATED AUTOMATION SOLUTION

The pre-assembled and pluggable system distributor in the hotel room can be customised. It serves as an interface to the pluggable infrastructure in the room and connects all cables to the electrical consumers such as sockets and lights. If prefabricated modules are used, particularly in wet rooms, the distributor could already be integrated, which would save additional installation work.

ROOM CABLING LEVEL
PLUGGABLE AND EFFICIENT

The wiring in the rooms, whether for switches, window contacts, lights, blinds or heating, ventilation and air conditioning units, is pluggable. We will be happy to help you plan your customised concept.

Integrate switches and sockets 
into the system

Switches, whether conventional or electronic, and sockets are usually installed on site and are a time-consuming and cost-intensive factor. By using completely pre-assembled systems, you can significantly reduce your installation times and minimise sources of error on site.

THE MOST IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES YOU WILL BENEFIT FROM

✅ Quick, easy and safe installation:


Industrially prefabricated components, directly pluggable end users, set solutions for efficient logistics and simple on-site assembly enable fast, user-friendly and safe installation.

✅ If a problem does occur:


Operating equipment will inevitably break down during operation. Thanks to our plug-in systems, defective equipment can be replaced quickly so that rooms can be let again quickly.

✅ Collaboration without electrician training:


After training and under specialist supervision, individuals without formal electrician training can use Wieland plug-in systems, aiding in addressing skilled labor shortages. However, a trained electrician must oversee and guide electrical tasks.

✅ Link between trades and suppliers:


The system facilitates the integration of diverse trades such as electrical, HVAC, and automation. We achieve this by incorporating products from our partners or accommodating your preferred manufacturers. This approach streamlines cabling processes, leading to enhanced clarity and efficiency.

✅ Plug-in systems for inaccessible areas:


We are pleased to confirm that the Wieland gesis® and RST® plug-in systems can also be installed in inaccessible areas. This makes electrical installation considerably easier and opens up possibilities for innovative solutions.

THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR EVERY TRADE

ENERGY SUPPLY

Our recommendations and services for power supply:

  • Conventional wiring, where every extension with new distribution and junction boxes increases the electrical chaos, is long outdated. Pluggable electrical installation systems offer outstanding advantages in terms of overview, efficiency and expandability - without doubt the better way for modern and effective energy distribution.
     
  • From floor distribution to socket outlets, Wieland offers solutions for connecting individual rooms and integrating socket outlets, room automation devices and other end devices into the electrical network.

INTELLIGENT CABLING SOLUTIONS FOR HOTEL BUILDINGS

INFRASTRUCTURE CABLING

The hotel rooms are supplied via a flexible busbar with a high wire cross-section. This ensures clear structures in the installation level of the corridor area.

LIGHTING

Our recommendations and services for lighting cabling:

  • In the "lighting" trade, we focus on the cabling of luminaires, using distribution blocks and possibly integrating dedicated infrastructure cabling and local operating or motion sensors (conventional via KNX or DALI).
     
  • Due to the considerable installation effort and use of raw materials, we recommend replacing the traditional method of installing automation devices centrally with decentralized actuators. Specifically, we do this with system distributors, which we adapt to the customer's specific requirements.
     
  • If no I&C technology is required, we recommend the use of gesis® FLEX. This KNX-based system can also handle sun protection and the integration of conventional switches.

LIGHTING CABLING IN HOTEL ROOMS
 

LIGHTING CABLING - SWITCHED

Lighting installation in buildings according to our motto: fast, safe and flexible. Our gesis® CLASSIC system enables simple and error-free installation. The connection technology of the luminaires can be freely selected: from a connection cable pre-assembled by the luminaire manufacturer with gesis® CLASSIC to a classic device connection (snap-in) and a flexible adapter.

LIGHTING CABLING - REGULATED, DALI OR 1-10 V

The demands placed on modern hotels are increasing, and flexible control of individual luminaires or groups of luminaires is required depending on the time of day and room usage. We take care of the simple and safe power and signal supply: With our gesis® CLASSIC cables, distributors and connection components, DALI luminaires, for example, can be supplied in the simplest possible way. The connection technology for the luminaires can be selected flexibly.

DECENTRALIZED ROOM AUTOMATION

Our recommendations and services for room automation:

  • If the project is limited to the room automation functions of lighting, blinds, the control of heating and cooling valves and the integration of conventional push buttons, we recommend the use of gesis® FLEX and KNX sensor technology.
     
  • If I&C technology is also used in addition to these functions, for example for air conditioning or controlling the fresh air supply, we will install the necessary automation devices in a system distributor and make it completely pluggable.
     
  • Both systems are characterized by their strictly decentralized structure and thus contribute to the conservation of resources right from the installation phase.

ROOM AUTOMATION IN HOTEL ROOMS
 

DECENTRALIZED ROOM AUTOMATION (KNX)

For Wieland, the "room automation" trade is all about decentralized KNX building automation. We focus on gesis® FLEX, but this can also involve system distributors with KNX components from third-party manufacturers. "Room automation" because KNX systems usually only implement local regulation and control. This is absolutely sufficient for the vast majority of applications in small to medium-sized buildings.

SUNSHADE SYSTEMS AND SUN PROTECTION

Our recommendations and services for darkening:

  • The advantage of a decentralized installation becomes particularly clear in this application. In conventional systems (4-wire wiring), each motor must be controlled individually, which leads to considerable wiring effort.
     
  • We recommend the use of gesis® FLEX here. This KNX-based system also enables the integration of lighting control.
     
  • When the SMI (Standard Motor Interface for blind applications) bus system is used, up to 16 drives can be connected in parallel. For this purpose, we use our 5-pole systems. Depending on the system situation, our flat cables gesis® NRG, cable systems such as gesis® CLASSIC, or outdoors RST® MINI fit.

SUN PROTECTION AND SHADING IN HOTEL ROOMS
 

WINDOW BLINDS (KNX, SMI)

Sun shading devices make a significant contribution to room comfort. We offer you resource-saving installation options for electrotechnical installation. With our decentralized KNX systems gesis® FLEX, you can control 230 V and 24 V DC drives and, if required, provide decentralized protection. Ideally, gesis® FLEX is supplied via a 7-pole gesis® NRG flat cable, which provides both three-phase current and the KNX network. For the control of SMI drives, we rely on electronics from partners and thus offer you a completely pluggable system from automation to motor connection.
