THE
HOTEL ENGINEER
Publisher’s Message
Y ou may have caught on Channel 7 early
with the Menzies in Sydney, is a most respected
president of the AIHE in NSW.
one evening in August, allegations of
some hotel rooms being opened with
other card keys, and claiming this was a real
exposé to previously unproven rumours over
the years. We spoke with one of our major
hotel lock suppliers who has had to deal with
this. Our story on page 75 will hopefully put
these rumours to rest.
A special thanks to James Henry, Managing Director
of the Logical Group, who took the time to prepare
a study into Building Management Systems with his
fine case study on the Shangri-La Hotel in Sydney.
To all writers, we again thank you sincerely.
Finally, on page 16, we say goodbye to Tony
Rolland, familiar to many readers of this magazine
as the owner of Thermoscan and a frequent
attendee at AIHE conferences. He sadly passed
away earlier this year. I had the pleasure of meeting
Tony numerous times, he was a true gentleman.
Condolences to his wife Anette and family.
Last issue we made mention of how this
publication is now being made available to
many high-rise buildings around Australia. We
are currently expanding into this market which
will give our advertisers the benefits of this extra
readership.
Regards,
Neil Muir Publisher, The Hotel Engineer
Several of our regular writers are back with further
enlightening articles. Such as Derek Hendry with
a list of new standards and regulations. Peter
Swanson, formerly of WSP Lincolne Scott and
now with AMX Australia, providing you with
the next in his series about sound and music
reproduction. Alan Lewis, our expert on pool and
spa water, also has another fine story.
Our front cover this issue is of the latest hotel in
Canberra, the Aria – one of several family-owned
hotels built by the Kappelle Group.
We have an article from Ted Horner, writing about
what technologies we should expect to see in
hotels during 2011. Graham Orford writes about
the latest in hotel kiosks and the huge step in
technology and convenience they offer both the
hotel and the customer in coming months.
The Engineering Profile in this issue features
Anura Yapa, who helped establish an AIHE
chapter in Melbourne and today as the boss
