4. Making a Historic Building Energy Efficient
Being built in 1929, the Sinclair is not a very energy efficient building, at least by today’s standards.
It had single-pane glass and wood windows, a concrete exterior structure and poor insulation.
But, given the Sinclair’s protections as a historic building, as well as the associated and aged building codes in
Fort Worth,team spent two years getting approvals from the National Historic Register Commission to make
renovations, as well as getting the financing lined up
CHALLENGE
SOLUTIONS
Making the most of these new technologies’ energy-saving benefits.
After working with inspectors to convince them on these new technologies, the Sinclair team eventually got approval to
install double-paned glass windows and a Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) air conditioning system alongside PoE-powered,
low-voltage LED lighting and sustainable cable throughout the building.
Altogether, these cutting-edge technologies brought a considerable amount of energy efficiency into the hotel – helping to
effect an estimated energy savings of 35%.
The 16-story, Art Deco masterpiece – built in 1929 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places
A long time landmark for the city of Fort Worth, TX.
The vision of redeveloping the 106,000 sq. ft. office complex into a 164-room, luxury Marriott Autograph
Hotel, inclusive of a fitness center, restaurant and rooftop bar.
5. CONNECTING IT ALL
Network infrastructure should be taken seriously, just like any other utility.
Electricity, gas, water and now networking are all just as important – this is
the fourth utility now.
Most reliable, most sustainable cable to run throughout their building and
to task with being the central nervous system of the Sinclair Hotel.
They deployed numerous Superior Essex products for various, specific
applications throughout the hotel:
Superior Essex PowerWise 1G 4PPoE: Powering the touchscreen wall
controllers that are located over 35-60 ft. away from the nearest devices
they controlled
Superior Essex FAS 18 gauge/2 conductor cable: Connecting the lighting
drivers (“spice boxes”) to every light fixture in each room
Superior Essex FAS 18 gauge/4 conductor cable: Transporting power from
the Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF) closets on each floor to the
individual receivers in each room
Superior Essex FAS 18 gauge/8 conductor cable: Powering the bed
headboards, which have seven lights on them, with a single cable
Superior Essex FAS 18 gauge/12 conductor cable: Acting as the backbone
for vertically transporting power through the building’s VoltServer DC power
distribution system, which sends packets of smart “digital electricity”
pulsing up from the basement all the way to the IDF closets on each floor
6. Why PoE Technology?
The main advantage of using PoE is that it can transport both data
and power on the same cable.
To make end devices “smart,” and able to communicate with
operators and each other, each device – whether lighting driver,
electric mirror, mini bar or window shade motor – needs an
individual IP address, which PoE enables.
There are three main benefits of this:
• Improved Troubleshooting: If, for example, any single light in the
building goes out, the PoE-connected system immediately notifies the
staff to repair it.
• Tracking Energy Consumption:
Staff can monitor, in real-time, the whole building’s power
consumption at a miniscule scale – at any node
A single light, a whole room, a whole floor – they can plot the entire
history of the whole building.
Plus, using presence and occupancy-sensing capabilities made
possible by Bluetooth mesh technology, the rooms can automatically
change state to consume less energy.
• Less Loss & Waste:
By sending power DC, the devices are not losing energy or
generating heat between the AC and DC conversion
when the power hits the LED light, which puts less stress on the
LEDs, thereby increasing their longevity.
Superior Essex cable acts as the backbone for transporting power up
from the basement to these IDF closets on each of the hotel’s 16
loors.
7. Why PowerWise Cable?
Utilizing 22 AWG copper conductors,
PowerWise 1G 4PPoE cable delivers 60 Watts of power to PoE-enabled
devices
With 97% power efficiency and 100 Watts of power at 88% power
efficiency,
Supporting 1 Gigabit data transmission.
In spaces with hundreds of PoE devices, this greatly improved power
efficiency can yield an energy savings of thousands of kilowatt hours per
year, which translates to thousands of dollars in saved utility costs.
Additionally, PowerWise 1G 4PPoE cable maintains the lowest
temperature rise in large cable bundles, ensuring reliable power and data
transmission in high-density installations and further improving system
energy efficiency.
The building’s VoltServer DC power distribution system sends packets
of smart “digital electricity” throughout the hotelvia over 286,000 feet
of Superior Essex PoE cable.
The Tangible Results Of Innovation
After the renovation, The Sinclair is now able to be reclassified as not
only a historic place, but also as a gorgeous hotel and a Sustainable
Intelligent Building.
All the new technology within it works together to provide immense
energy efficiency, savings on both construction time and cost and an
unrivaled hospitality experience – all run on DC power and PoE cable.
As a result, the team was able to realize the following benefits:
8. Benefits for the Hotel Guest
An overall improved guest experience, customizable to each user
• Marriott App Integration
“As soon as you check in, our sensors will know that you’re there, and
they can set that room to your customized room settings for
temperature, lights, window shades and more that you’ve
programmed into your Marriott app.” – Walker
• Special Room “Scenes”
“Because we can communicate with every light, window shade and
device in the room, guests can use the touchscreen wall controller to
create special, customizable ‘scenes’ – such as good morning, social,
relax and romantic – and it feels luxurious to have all these scenes
happening in your room.” – Walker
A single Superior Essex 18 gauge/8 conductor PoE cable powers the
bed headboards, each of which features seven lights.
Benefits for the Environment
An overall 30-35% reduction in energy costs
• Anticipated, as compared to utility costs of other hotels of similar
size, both nationwide in the same city.
• If a room is unoccupied, the smart devices work together to
automatically drop the shades, adjust the temperature and turn off the
lights and TV to help save on energy.
Required backup diesel generator replaced with lithium-ion batteries
• LG’s Energy Storage System (ESS) in the Sinclair Hotel basement is
now the first battery system in the world to be used in this manner. It’s
also UL 924 rated and provides peak load shaving in the building.
9. Benefits for the Technology
• Legitimacy, Proof of Concept and Scaling Up
“A lot of this PoE work was done in the past in a lab at a tech company. But to
do it on this scale and in mainstream businesses such as a branded Marriott
Autograph hotel or CVS retail store shows that the technology is coming of age,
is reliable, is easy to deploy and actually saves you energy. And it lends a level
of comfort to developers that the technologies are proven.” – Aslam
Hyper-efficient PowerWise 1G 4PPoE cable powers the
touchscreen wall controllers that are located over 35-60 ft.
away from the nearest devices they control.
• Faster, Cheaper and Safer than Old-Fashioned Electrical Wiring
“PoE is much quicker to deploy, and you only need a low-voltage contractor to
do so, which is cheaper than an electrical contractor, and you won’t need as
many inspections anymore either.” – Aslam
There are also very few areas where people can be shocked in this building, as
there are far fewer electrical connections throughout. This reduces the risk of
fires as well.
• Immensely Low-Maintenance
Once it’s all in place, the technology all self-maintains and self-regulates, and so
hotel staff only need to be monitoring it — without requiring any outside
technical training.
• Future Savings – Insurance
“Since the building is safe – because it can’t shock you or start electrical fires –
we’re also working with insurance companies to get cost breaks on insurance
premiums.” – Walker
10. Benefits for the Company
• Recognition
“You are walking into the first hotel in the world which runs
on DC power,” says Aslam. “And the fact that our work is
being noticed at the very highest levels is very encouraging.”
– Aslam
• First DC-powered/PoE-supported CVS in the World
In 2018, Sinclair Holdings opened a CVS store in their office
building next door with similar technology, making it the first
CVS in the world to run on low-voltage DC lighting and Digital
Electricity.
The LG Energy Storage System (ESS) in the Sinclair Hotel basement is now the
first lithium-ion battery system in the world to be used as a replacement for
the required backup diesel generator. It’s also UL 924 rated and provides
peak load shaving in the building.
The hotel suites, with their
gorgeous amenities and
fixtures, utilize PoE cable to
power, connect and control
more than 30 devices in each
room, including the bathroom
lights, electric mirror and even
the shower head.
