Energy Management for Hotels, Resorts and ClubsBig Potential Savings for High Energy Use Buildings

Better for you, better for guests

Energy conservation technology in hotels can radically improve your business' bottom line. Other industries can minimise usage to bring their power bills down, but in a Hotel, energy is vital for climate control, lighting and appliances; it's an essential part of your guests’ comfort in hotels and hospitality. It's not as though you could barge into your guest's rooms and tell them to switch the heater off because it's costing you a fortune!

By investing in energy saving solutions, hotels can continue to provide excellent services for their guests, while simultaneously reducing the amount they spend on power. The key is to find and eliminate inefficient systems. The effects of energy inefficiency in this industry are magnified due to long operating hours. Even small changes to improve energy efficiency have the potential to generate big savings.

An Energy Management Partner can help you improve energy efficiency and save money, without compromising the comfort of your guests. We know the best energy saving tips for hotels, and can show you how to implement them at your hotel for maximum impact.

Improving efficiency will ultimately benefit guests, with savings that can be used to reduce prices or invest in new facilities or equipment.

Energy challenges for Resorts, Hotels and Clubs

The scale of the operation, combined with aging buildings and appliances, pose the biggest energy challenges in the hotels and hospitality sector.

Many club and hotel buildings were built before energy efficiency was a major consideration in design. Electricity hasn't always been as expensive at is it is today, and designers in decades past didn't have cause to be as thriftily minded as operators today! Throughout older buildings are aging appliances that use energy efficiently. In particular, old fashioned boilers, refrigeration, pumps and motors could be setting your business back a huge amount of money.

With long operating hours and poor or no centralised control, the compounding effect of energy inefficiency is significant, and waste can be widespread. 

Energy savings can be passed on with lower prices, or reinvested to improve facilities and equipment

Energy saving solutions

There are a variety of ways which a resort, club or hotel can improve energy efficiency and eliminate waste.

The actual measures will differ from hotel to hotel depending on their specific needs. However, measures would usually include:

• Automation – Automating shut down procedures for climate control and lighting when not in use
• Monitoring – Improving management and control by centralising heating and cooling systems
• Motors, Pumps and Appliances – Using modern technology such as drive pumps and repairing faulty appliances
• Lighting – Upgrading lights with new technology compatible with legacy systems
