Energy Management
Betterspace
Betterspace supplies hotel guest-information and energy-management technology. Its Better.Guest products provide digital guest directories and hotel apps, while Better.Energy controls room heating to reduce avoidable energy use. These are separate solutions and should be assessed against different needs.
The assessment
What stands out
Strengths
Combines guest and energy options under one supplier. Hotels can consider digital information and room-energy controls separately or as part of a wider programme.
Digital guest directory. Practical hotel content and services can be made available without relying on printed folders.
Energy controls target empty-room waste. Heating can respond to occupancy and room status when connected correctly.
Positive guest-app review evidence. Hotel Tech Report records 31 reviews for the Better.Guest hotel app profile.
Worth knowing
Better.Guest and Better.Energy solve different problems. A digital guest directory should not be scored as evidence that room-energy control will fit the property, or the other way around.
Energy savings depend on heating type, controls, building fabric, room use and correct installation. Ask for a site-specific survey, savings method and manual override or failure process.
The guest-app review sample is relatively small and public evidence is stronger in German-speaking and European markets. Confirm UK support, integrations, privacy, languages and hardware responsibilities.
Operational fit
Where it fits
- Publish hotel information and services through Better.Guest.
- Reduce printed in-room information and keep content current.
- Control compatible room heating through Better.Energy.
- Monitor selected guest and energy activity where configured.
Best suited for
Hotels wanting a European digital guest-information product, room-energy controls, or both, with a clear business case for each selected module.
May not suit
Properties treating the suite as one undifferentiated purchase, and hotels whose heating system or guest journey has not been checked for technical and operational fit.
