Guest in-room time: Bodhi smart sensor data has found that hotel guests average 11 hours per day in their rooms.

HVAC energy savings: U.S. DOE / Pacific Northwest National Laboratory study deployed occupancy-based controls across 6 hotels in Washington DC, Dallas TX, and Los Angeles CA. Measured average HVAC energy savings of 18.4% per room, with a range of 10–30%. The study notes that PMS integration — as Bodhi provides — enables deeper setbacks and additional savings beyond what was measured. Source: Sullivan & Blanchard, "Guest Room HVAC Occupancy-Based Control Technology Demonstration," PNNL for U.S. DOE, September 2012.

Climate data: Trailing 12-month HDD/CDD from Open-Meteo historical archive, 65°F baseline.
Revenue model: Forbes/Convergys — 1 negative review drives away 22% of prospects. 83% of travelers rely on reviews to book. Applied to vacant room nights only: a fully booked hotel has little marginal revenue at risk from reviews; hotels with vacancy are genuinely exposed.

Includes local utility rebates that can offset equipment costs

Sources & methodology

Bodhi sensor data

11 hrs/day in-room average

Bodhi smart sensor data across hotel properties finds guests spend an average of 11 hours per day in their rooms — meaning 13 hours of daily setback opportunity per room.

U.S. DOE / PNNL

18.4% avg HVAC savings (10–30% range)

Sullivan & Blanchard, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for U.S. DOE, Sept 2012. Six hotels across Washington DC, Dallas TX, and Los Angeles CA. DOE notes PMS integration enables deeper setbacks beyond measured results.

Forbes / Convergys + Cornell / STR

22% prospect loss per bad review

1 negative review drives away 22% of prospects (Forbes/Convergys). Applied to vacant room nights only. Independently validated by Cornell CHR (Anderson, 2012): a 1-point drop on a 5-star scale reduces ADR by 11% on average — matched against STR revenue data. Both models are shown in the calculator; the conservative Forbes figure is used for the primary ROI.

Open-Meteo + OpenStreetMap

Live climate & market data

Trailing 12-month HDD/CDD at 65°F ASHRAE baseline via Open-Meteo historical archive. Hotel density within 2km via OpenStreetMap Overpass API for market sensitivity adjustment.

Insurance carrier data

1 event/100 rooms/yr — $80K avg remediation

Commercial property insurance data shows hotels average 1 significant water event per 100 rooms per year, with avg remediation cost of $80K. Affected rooms are out of service ~3 days. Bodhi sensor detection in minutes vs. the industry average of 3–5 hours reduces damage severity by an estimated 70%.

BLS + Hospitality industry data

18 min saved/room + 20% early check-in uptake

Bodhi true presence detection moves effective checkout awareness from 11am to 8am. Housekeeping saves ~18 min per occupied room per day eliminating wasted check trips (BLS avg labor rate $18/hr). 20% of arriving guests request early check-in at industry avg $50 fee.
