Situated in the bustling heart of the country, Taj Wellington, a residence hotel in Mumbai is a treat to the eyes. Overlooking Colaba, and offering a wondrous view of the sea, this property is an abode to relaxation and rejuvenation. The guests come here to get away from the busy life and spend some time in the lap of luxury and nature. 

The Taj Wellington Mumbai has long been synonymous with luxurious hospitality. They are a haven for discerning travelers seeking unparalleled service and opulent accommodations. However, their commitment to excellence extends beyond guest experience. While already utilizing an impressive 60% renewable energy, they craved further environmental responsibility. They wanted further reductions in their footprint, all while ensuring guests continued to experience unparalleled luxury. This is where the team came across smart energy management. A solution that was not only enabling their carbon reduction but was also maintaining guest comfort. However, there was a slew of challenges clouding their mind. Hence, needed something that could also solve for the following: 

A significant concern was finding a solution that could seamlessly integrate with their existing infrastructure.

Upfront costs were also a consideration. What if the return on investment (ROI) wasn't substantial enough for them? 

Additionally, the adoption of unseen technology raised eyebrows, especially for less tech-savvy staff, senior citizen guests and some more. The user-friendliness of any new system was paramount.

Guest comfort was another factor to consider. Would guests feel strange with smart switches replacing traditional controls?  

Furthermore, in a privacy-conscious nation like India, security was a top priority. Would the new technology expose the hotel and its guests to potential threats? 

The need for comprehensive staff training to ensure efficient system use was also a crucial factor. 

Finally, regulatory compliance added another layer of complexity. They needed a solution that adhered to all relevant regulations.

Given these hurdles, finding the right smart energy management solution was no easy feat. Until EZ Home came along.  

EZ Home is future proof automation platform developed by Tata Power for automation solution which supports technology leverage for a myriad of things. For Taj Wellington, it offered its guests a convenient way to manage their in-room environment through a smartphone app.  With the most user-friendly customer experience, it allowed them to remotely control appliances, track energy usage anytime and anywhere, making life safer and more convenient.
