WHY SAVE ENERGY?

Energy efficiency is important for several reasons.

Attractive and well-controlled conditions for guests increase comfort and encourage their return.

Reducing fuel bills increases competitiveness and profitability.

Using less fuel reduces pollution.

Who benefits from energy efficiency?

Hotel owners and management benefit because efficiently run buildings cost less to operate

Guests benefit because an efficiently controlled hotel satisfies their needs and leads to repeat business.

Staff benefit through improved morale and better motivation which in turn increase productivity.

The environment benefits because using energy efficiently reduces adverse effects on the environment and preserves nonrenewable resources for future generations.

Where Energy Is Used ?Where Energy Is Used ?

Understanding where energy is used :

o Knowing what you are paying for energy and how it is used are both important parts of good energy management.

o Collect your energy use and cost data.

o Measure the air- conditioned/heated floor area of your hotel.

o Compare your consumptions with the bench marks, taking account of any exceptional features you may have.

o Check that the consumption pattern relates sensibly to weather conditions, occupancy level and facilities used

o Take meter readings regularly to identify sources of waste, such as excessive nighttime or weekend consumptions.

o Read meters at the same time each day, week or month, to establish the pattern of use and to locate discrepancies.

o Wherever possible install sub-meters so that costs can be allocated to each main area or activity.

o Make the catering facility a cost centre -following the procedure recommended in

HOW to use energy more efficiently ? o Make a member of staff responsible for energy management.

o They should try to ensure that the minimum amount of energy, consistent with the required levels of service, is used, and waste is reduced to a minimum.

o Use the ideas together with house tours at various times of day and night to establish a checklist of items for attention.

o There are technological developments that can help you to use energy efficiently.

o Try to ensure that initially you use the equipment and services you already have as efficiently as possible; for example, make sure that equipment is maintained properly.

o With little or no capital investment it is possible to adopt good housekeeping measures that can be put into operation

straight away and offer immediate benefits.o Try to identify measures that have other

associated benefits - such as improving your guests perception of comfort and service.

o Involve staff by explaining your plans and invite them to propose their own suggestions for energy saving.

o Ensure they are given feedback about energy use, and consider incentives for successful ideas

Energy efficiency in major utilities :Energy efficiency in major utilities :

LIGHTING : Lighting accounts for 15 to 25 % of hotels electricity consumption.

Energy Efficient Lighting ‘PHILOSOPHY’

--- The ‘ Right type’ of light

--- At the ‘ Right place’

-- At the ‘ Right time’

ENCON In Lighting SystemsENCON In Lighting Systems : :

The following are some of improvement options : o Maximize sunlight use through use of transparent roof sheets,

north light roof, etc. o Examine scope for replacements of lamps by more energy

efficient lamps, with due consideration to luminiare, color

rendering index, lux level as well as expected life comparison. o Replace conventional magnetic ballasts by more energy

efficient ballasts, with due consideration to life and power

factor apart from watt loss. o Select interior colours for light reflection.

o Modify layout for optimum lighting.

HVAC AND REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

Refrigeration deals with the transfer of heat from a low temperature level at the heat source to a high temperature level at the heat sink by using a low boiling refrigerant.

The heat transfer loops in refrigeration system are shown :

Energy consumption in HVAC may be as high as 50% of total in luxury hotels in tropical or sub-tropical countries.

ENCON Opportunities inENCON Opportunities in HVAC Systems HVAC Systems

SHORT TERM MEASURES :

Operate Chillers, pumps, cooling towers as per load demand

Schedule HVAC equipment & systems as per time of

day,week or holiday operation.

Install timers or manual shut off in unoccupied areas.

Re- set the thermostat according to season

Use VSD for secondary pumps , install three- way valves in AHU

Review the capacity of central equipment relative to actual

load — oversized equipment operates less efficiently.

Automatic Controls in HVAC System Use free cooling – normal air before using conditioned air

Use maxm. Return air, if heat content is more than outside air

is more economical than outside air..

Expand fixed temperature & relative humidity set-point to

comfort range by controlling coil control valves.

Reduce temperatures at conditioned places to preset levels.

Modulate chilled water supply with outside temperature.

Periodically shut- off AHU fans to reduce energy consumption

control peak demand.


Operate AHU fans only when space is physically occupied.

Set fixed time schedules & occupancy sensors. Before the physical occupation of air – conditioned spaces ,

let the AHU operate on 100 % return air. Optimise start- stop schedule of AHU s with adaptive controls. Convert constant air volume AHU fan operation to variable air

volume by VSD etc.

Medium and Long Term Measures : Improve Chiller Efficiency : Check cooling capacity at 25 %, 50 %, 70% and 100% loads –

compare with design figures.
