Hoteliers say
Hoteliers like Betterspace for its intelligent heating control and substantial energy savings. Users appreciate the system's integration with PMS for automatic room temperature management, which reduces both energy costs and staff effort. The guest tablets offer efficient communication and additional revenue opportunities through direct bookings. However, some have noted issues with the quality of thermostats, slow support response times, and difficulties in procuring spare parts. Betterspace enables enhanced guest comfort, operational efficiency, and cost savings, but does require improvements in support and physical product durability.

While its important to incorporate analysis from verified user reviews and industry experts to create more balanced content, the way a vendor describes their overall company and vision can also shed light on their unique perspective or way of doing business which is why the AI ingests this information as well to add more context to paint a picture of what the company says vs what users and industry experts say.
Betterspace GmbH's Provided Description:
"better.energy regulates the temperature in hotels automatically and depending on occupancy. Thanks to an interface to the PMS, the software knows which rooms are occupied and detects open windows, so better.energy automatically adjusts the heating output, thus reducing energy consumption by up to 30 percent. The smart radiator thermostats are connected to the better.energy energy management system via LoRa, the modern radio technology. Without structural measures and cables, the system is quickly and easily implemented in your hotel."
FAQs
Capabilities
Detects open windows
Detects open windows
As soon as the software detects an open window, it adjusts the heat output accordingly. When the window is closed again, the radiator continues to heat automatically. Unnecessary heating with open windows is thus a thing of the past.
Real-time check-in and check-out
Real-time check-in and check-out
With the connection to the hotel's PMS system, the smart heating control adjusts the room temperature in real time during check-in and check-out. When a guest checks in, the information is reported to the radiator thermostats in the hotel room and they heat the room temperature to a predefined level. When a guest checks out, better.energy automatically reduces the heating temperature in the hotel room.
Heating depending on the occupancy plan
Heating depending on the occupancy plan
The PMS system reports to the system whether a hotel room is occupied or. Occupied rooms are heated. Empty rooms are automatically kept at an efficient temperature level by the heating control. Thus, the rooms do not cool down or are heated unnecessarily.
Day and night setback
Day and night setback
At night, when guests are sleeping, or during the day, when your guests are typically not in the room, the room temperature is adjusted. Via web access, you define fixed times during which the temperature is lowered by the software. For example, better.energy always lowers the room temperature to 19 °C between 11:00 pm and 06:00 am.
Temperature limits
Temperature limits
You can pre-define maximum and minimum temperatures for hotel rooms and public areas. Even if hotel guests manually turn the heating to the highest level, the defined maximum temperature will not be exceeded. The heating control automatically regulates the thermostats back to the predefined values should a guest turn up the heating.

Unfortunately I can't say anything about it because support is rather difficult. The Energy is a good idea but getting replacement parts is difficult. The plastic parts are not suitable for commercial use.

If you are looking for a programm to lower your energycosts and automate processes, Betterspace is certanly a good choice in combination with our hotelsoftware (CASABLANCA hotelsoftware). With Betterspace you get a lot of advantages for you but also the environment.
Due to the many functions and interfaces, the Betterspace GmbH solutions can be easily integrated into existing systems and can be managed. Thanks the own product development, the solutions are always state of the art
Every hotelier should obtain detailed information and advice about the better.energy product. It is essential in an energy-intensive industry that has to meet the demands of sustainability. We believe in that product using the established LoraWan technology.
This is definitely the easiest way to save on energy, which is especially important during the uncertain energy prices this winter. In a matter of one day you can easily equip your whole hotel with smart radiator thermostats and start having access to actual data about temperatures in the rooms as well as the ability to control based on different scenarios - is the guest about to check in, did they just check out and more.
