Smarter Savings at:
The Admiral Rodney Hotel

Nestled in the heart of Lincolnshire, The Admiral Rodney Hotel is a historic 18th-century coaching inn and part of the RedCat / Coaching Inn Group, one of the UK’s leading hospitality groups.

The hotel has long been known for its classic charm and warm guest experience, but like many hospitality venues, energy efficiency was becoming a growing area of focus.

The Challenge

Running a 24/7 hospitality operation means constant energy demand, from cellar cooling and kitchen extraction to refrigeration and drink systems. These are essential for smooth service but are also some of the biggest energy consumers in hotels, restaurants, and pubs.

The RedCat Group has been proactive in addressing this challenge across its portfolio, identifying opportunities to make sites like The Admiral Rodney Hotel more energy-efficient, more sustainable, and more cost-effective, without impacting operations or guest experience.

Our Solution

To support this goal, Powerhub Solutions worked closely with the team at The Admiral Rodney Hotel to install a suite of smart energy-saving tools, each designed to reduce wasted energy, cut carbon, and improve asset performance.

Installed technologies included:

WiFF Manager: Optimises kitchen ventilation systems, ensuring extraction only runs when needed.
Smart Post Mix Timer: Powers down drink systems during idle hours to prevent unnecessary energy draw.
Remote Optimiser: Enables live energy monitoring and remote control for high-consumption assets.

Bottle Fridge Manager: Manages fridge cycles intelligently, maintaining cooling efficiency while reducing kWh use.

Cellar Manager: Optimises cellar cooling systems to maintain perfect serving temperatures using less energy.

Each system was selected to target a specific area of energy waste, together delivering a comprehensive optimisation of the hotel’s operations.

The Outcome

The installation was completed efficiently and with no disruption to guests or staff, a key part of Powerhub Solution’s promise.

The site is now equipped to:

Reduce unnecessary kilowatt consumption across critical systems.
Maintain operational standards and comfort levels
Collect real-time performance data for measurable results.

A Step Forward for Sustainable Hospitality

This project represents another milestone in RedCat’s wider sustainability journey, showing how smart technology and data-driven optimisation can deliver immediate benefits across hospitality estates.

At Powerhub Solutions, we believe energy efficiency should be simple, proven, and measurable, and projects like The Admiral Rodney Hotel show that it can be all three.
