by According to the Carbon Peak Action Plan by 2030 (hereinafter referred to as the Carbon Peak Action Plan) issued by the State Council, we should promote green low-carbon building materials and green construction methods, accelerate the industrialization of new buildings, vigorously develop precast buildings, and strengthen green design and green construction management.
As a “national team” brand in the hotel industry, Home Inn has responded to the “Carbon Peak Action Plan” and brought more efficient decoration plans to investors.
In the field of hotels: the so-called “assembly type” decoration means that all decoration materials are divided into a single standardized module, precast in the factory, and brought to the site to be assembled, which is also called “quick installation module”.
Qian Feng, Deputy Director of Product R&D and Maintenance Department of Home Inn Group, introduced that the assembled decoration of the hotel is a fast assembling and environment-friendly decoration technology that has been specified in the guidance document of Carbon Peak Action Plan to be vigorously developed.
Its biggest advantage is to give consideration to the core demands of green environment, energy conservation and emission reduction and the economic benefits of franchisees.
The cast materials themselves emphasize “zero formaldehyde, zero pollution”, and can greatly reduce the dust and noise pollution during the decoration period.
The cement consumption per room can be reduced by 120 kg.
Home Inn · neo presented by assembly technology “Although it is a little more expensive than traditional materials, the construction period is short and labor costs are saved, so the overall cost is basically the same.” Qian Feng pointed out that assembly decoration is fast, efficient, and has less construction waste, which is itself a carbon reduction method.
“For investors, improving efficiency means getting more economic benefits, with stable delivery time and good practical experience.” Case: Home Inn · neo He gave an example to introduce that Home Inn · neo – Xingzhi Road Metro Station of Shanghai Hutai Road, which has 153 rooms, used assembly decoration during the construction process of upgrading.
The whole construction period of precast materials using bamboo and wood recycled materials will be shortened by one third, reducing wood consumption by 80%, reducing cement consumption by 20 tons, and reducing construction waste by 64%.
“With precast decoration, the reconstruction period of the hotel can be shortened by 3 months, and ensure that the room opening rate during the reconstruction period will exceed 45%.” When the precast module of the hotel was launched in the early stage, the plastic feeling was relatively strong, for example, some overall bathrooms felt like “high-speed rail toilets”, It doesn’t look very upscale.
“This is one of the reasons why some investors are worried.” However, with the maturity of materials and technology, the decoration effect of the current assembly version is exactly the same as that of the traditional process.
To solve the problem, the matching scheme talked about the difficulties of the hotel’s assembly decoration at present.
Qian Feng pointed out that it was mainly reflected in the construction process.
“It is relatively simple to create a model room, but in the process of large-scale construction, it is more difficult to actually land it.
Our team needs to put a lot of effort into coordination and communication, including the conditions of the property itself and the understanding ability of the construction workers.” At this stage, each hotel’s transformation style will provide two decoration versions for franchisees, with the same effect, but different materials – one is traditional materials, the other is assembly materials, “The traditional version may be gradually eliminated in the future, and only the precast version will be provided.”.
As early as 2018, Home Inn has built a number of model rooms of precast guest rooms, and has been actively discovering “defects”, such as hidden water seepage, construction process, technology and aesthetics.
“Once landed in a hotel with 200 guest rooms, a small flaw in the model room may become a devastating disaster.” Therefore, it takes at least four or five years for a new environment-friendly green technology to be developed and landed.
It takes a long time to prepare for continuous testing, data analysis, adjustment and optimization.
“The precast decoration scheme did not start mass production until last year, and this year it is mature.” It is understood that, In 2021, Home Inn will invest 7 million yuan in the field of assembly decoration.
(Aifei Hotel Rooms with Assembled Technology) In recent years, leading domestic hotel groups have been committed to developing various patent technologies related to green and environmental protection, and replacing traditional and old equipment with energy-saving new equipment.
The total investment of Home Inn in energy efficient, energy-saving, natural energy equipment and facilities will reach 81 million yuan in 2021, including replacing large central air-conditioning host and split air-conditioning with new energy efficiency inverter, which can save 15% of energy consumption.
Realize the application of Alot in the green hotel scene, and the central air-conditioning host is equipped with Internet of Things intelligent cloud control technology.
According to the use of central air conditioners in hotels in the Group, a wide area “Internet of Things Integration” master control application scheme is innovatively proposed.
Through data collection, data AI analysis, decision-making, and feedback control, unattended and on-demand cooling can be achieved, which can save energy by 30% and improve the overall resource utilization efficiency of the hotel-.
