Specialty · BMS building automation
BMS for hotels and buildings in the Canary Islands.
We design BMS — Building Management Systems — that unify KNX, BACnet and Modbus under a single supervision. Hospitality (La Laguna Gran Hotel, Baobab Suites), institutional buildings (Cabildo de Tenerife) and the tertiary sector in general.
Why a unified BMS
Simpler operations
A single SCADA frontend where the maintenance technician sees the entire building: HVAC, lighting, access, energy, alarms. Less training, fewer mistakes, fewer calls to the integrator.
Real consumption reduction
Hospitality management by room occupancy, schedules and conditions, integration with presence and open-window sensors. Documented reductions of 15-25% in HVAC.
Native multi-protocol
KNX, BACnet, Modbus TCP, OPC UA. If your building already has legacy systems we integrate them without scrapping anything. We don't lock you into a single manufacturer.
Data for audits
Consumption and behaviour history aligned with energy audits (RD 56/2016) and certifications (BREEAM, LEED). Automated monthly reporting.
AI applied to the hotel
Predictive models on the hotel's own data: anticipation of energy demand by occupancy and weather, detection of consumption anomalies and adaptive HVAC based on real usage patterns instead of fixed schedules.
PMS / CMMS integration
Sync with the PMS (Opera, Protel, Mews) and with CMMS systems: automatic incident reports to the maintenance team, work orders, preventive maintenance follow-up and lifetime traceability of hotel equipment.

Frequently asked questions
What hotel and building managers ask us.
What is a BMS and what problems does it solve in a hotel?
A BMS (Building Management System) is the software and hardware layer that unifies HVAC, lighting, access, blinds, energy and technical alarms in a single point. In a hotel it solves two problems: operational (front desk and maintenance see the state of each room and floor without leaving their post) and energy (the system shuts off what isn't being used, holds reasonable setpoints and detects abnormal consumption before it shows up on the bill).
How much energy can be saved with a well-designed BMS?
In realistic hotels, between 15% and 30% versus prior consumption, depending on the starting point. Most savings come from three levers: HVAC by real occupancy (not fixed schedule), lighting with presence and daylight harvesting, and automatic setback for unoccupied rooms. We audit before promising figures and report monthly savings with data from the system itself.
Is a new BMS compatible with legacy systems (chillers, lifts, access)?
Yes, that's exactly what we do. Most hotels already have Daikin/Carrier/Trane chillers, legacy access systems and UPS units from different manufacturers. The BMS integrates with all of them via Modbus TCP, BACnet or dedicated gateways as needed. Legacy integration is what separates a well-designed BMS from a new isolated system.
How long does installation take in a hotel that's up and running?
The communications and central supervision phase is built without stopping the hotel: we work by floor or wing, taking advantage of low-occupancy windows. A medium hospitality integration (80-150 rooms) takes 3-6 calendar months, with night work in critical areas. The actual room downtime for retrofitting air and lighting control is usually 4-8 hours.
What warranty and maintenance does Indótica offer after delivery?
A 2-year legal warranty on equipment. What matters most is the maintenance contract: we offer 1, 3 or 5-year packages with scheduled visits, remote monitoring, incident response and periodic training of the hotel's maintenance team. We have clients with systems running since 2017 (La Laguna Gran Hotel) delivering continuity with no surprises.
Does Indótica work with hotel chains or only with independents?
Both. Chains like Meliá have specific requirements for integration with their central systems (PMS, central reservations); independents and boutiques like Baobab Suites need more flexibility. We adapt the BMS to the case. What we don't negotiate is the use of open standards (KNX, BACnet, Modbus) — we don't bring in proprietary protocols that lock the hotel to a single manufacturer forever.
