Improving Energy Efficiency in Hotels
Heating
Heating can contribute significantly to your hotel’s energy consumption. In fact, it can account for over 40% of the energy used in your hotel or B&B. This means there’s plenty of scope to make savings. A good place to start is by ensuring every area of the hotel or guest house is at the right temperature.
| Recommended temperatures for hotels | |
| Area | Temperature |
| Corridors and bedrooms Guest bathrooms Bars and lounges Restaurants and dining rooms Kitchens Laundries | 19–21°C 26–27°C 20–22°C 22–24°C 16–18°C 16–19°C |
Managing heat is particularly important in large hotels. With so many facilities, it’s a good idea to create zoned areas with their own thermostatic controls.
If your budget can stretch to intelligent guest management systems, this could bring energy savings. In fact, you could even recoup your investment in the technology after just a few years.
For smaller venues where that may not be feasible, ask staff to become energy champions for their areas. This will encourage them to take control of their departments, ultimately saving the business money on utilities.
When calculating energy consumption, don’t forget about your housekeeping department. Electrical cleaning equipment and other appliances – including those used in hotel kitchens – can all be big power users. If you can make a switch to energy efficient appliances, you could save on your bills.
Lighting
There’s so much lighting in hotel business. It can include external signage, reception, corridors, guest rooms, bars, restaurants, function rooms, gyms, kitchens and staff rooms. And if you have people working night shifts, this means yet more lighting. It’s no wonder that lighting makes up at least 25% of your total hotel electricity bill.
However, major savings can be made for all kinds of property types by investing in LED technology. This can now improve on previous lighting products in terms of performance as well as energy efficiency. Getting the right energy efficient lighting solution could even reduce costs by up to a third.
