What issues do we face?
• Renewable energy obligations & building regulations
• Carbon Reduction Commitment - £2.5 million and rising
• £50 million utility bill; increasing energy prices and water rates
• Tax landscape: property and land taxes, EPC’s / DECC’s
• Government targets – tough and hardening

Green Construction Operation in summer
10
In Summer:Ventilation system draws in fresh air which is cooled in the heat exchanger and provides fresh cool air to the rooms. Air is extracted continuously from the bathrooms.
The heat pump heats the hot water buffer and at the same time cools the cold buffer. The fan coils use the cold buffer to further cool the rooms.
Excess heat is passed back through the ground loop to re-charge the ground energy.

A combination of the super insulated shell, solar shading and low energy lighting help to reduce heat gain in summer months.
Green Construction Operation in winter
11
In Winter:
Ventilation system draws in fresh air which is warmed in the heat exchanger and provides fresh warm air to the rooms. Air is extracted continuously from the bathrooms and the heat recovered.
The heat pump collects the heat from the ground loops and heats the hot buffers in the roof providing hot water for baths and showers and room heating via the fan coils.
Heating & chilled buffer vessels externally weather compensated for maximum efficiency.

The super insulated shell minimises heat loss through the walls, floor and roof.

Future developments
Roll out 26 sustainability measures to all new build Hotels and
Restaurants including;
• Timber Frame construction
• Grey/rain water recovery
• Sealed low U value windows with mechanical vents
• Gravity recharging lifts
• Key-cards in all rooms
• Bird and bat boxes at every site
• Self build to BREEAM Very Good
Future developments
Invest in the existing estate of 600 hotels and 300 restaurants
including;
• Further investigation in Voltage Optimisation
• Install PIR controls and LEDs in corridors
• Increase loft insulation
• Install A/C controls
• Replace draft proofing, fit PIRs, install radiator pannells as part of refurb programme.
Existing estate Projects
• Below are a few examples of our aggressive retrofit roll out of proven technologies into our existing estate along with estimated annual savings– LED replacement. Move from 30w to 3w and 7w LED - £1.5m saving
– Voltage Optimisation installed at 80 sites (another 38 planned this year) – average savings YTD £ 6200 per site
– Air-con “Melcotel” controllers install programme at 75 A/C sites = estimate 20% saving on kit
– External light programme – time clocks & photo sensors install at 300 sites = £50k saving
– Thermal insulation roll-out – lofts, plant rooms, valves = estimate 20% saving on site gas usage
– P.I.R .light motion detectors in key areas (linen, staff, FOH toilets etc) = £50k saving
– Thermostatic radiator valves, Nordic reflectors, remove towel rails = £150k savings

Project Flush !
Did you know we could waste the equivalent of 5 Olympic size pools a day with one too many housekeeping flushes !
