Abstract

The intersection of technology and sustainability presents an opportunity to redefine the field of hospitality and interior design. Technologies such as automated lighting, heating, and cooling systems adjust to occupancy patterns, ensuring comfort while conserving energy, and intelligent systems enhance operational efficiencies, aligning with sustainability goals (Ben Youssef & Zeqiri, 2022). This paper employs a descriptive-analytical methodology to explore innovative technological approaches that facilitate sustainable interior design for serviced apartments. By examining case studies and emerging trends, the research highlights how integrated technologies, such as smart energy systems and eco-friendly materials, can transform spaces into models of sustainability.
The findings indicate that a holistic incorporation of technology within the design process not only meets the demands of eco-conscious travelers but also enhances the overall guest experience. Smart energy systems, for instance, optimize energy consumption, reducing operational costs and minimizing environmental impact. Eco-friendly materials, on the other hand, contribute to healthier indoor environments and promote sustainable resource use (Rashdan & Ashour, 2024).
Furthermore, the research underscores the importance of user-centric design in creating sustainable interiors. By leveraging data analytics and user feedback, designers can tailor spaces to meet the specific needs and preferences of the guests, thereby improving satisfaction and loyalty. This approach supports environmental sustainability and drives economic benefits for hospitality providers.
