There are 8,785 hotels worldwide and the Total rooms about 1,597,380 rooms.
So energy conservation does matter in protecting our environment.
Properly using energy has a significant impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preserving natural resources.
Many people wonder how saving electricity helps the environment-that is decreased demand for fossil fuels and the reduction of harmful pollutants released into the atmosphere.
Hotel staff Daily habits for reducing energy consumption
Small changes in daily routines can lead to substantial energy savings. One of the most effective habits is to turn off lights and appliances when not in use. This simple action can cut electricity usage and lower utility bills. Additionally, adjusting thermostat settings can have a significant impact. Lowering the temperature by just 1°C during winter and raising it by 1°C during summer can save up to £80 per year on heating and cooling costs
Hotel should choosing energy-efficient products
Energy efficiency is about using less energy to get the same job done – and in the process, avoiding high energy bills and unnecessary pollution. Many products, homes, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities consume far more energy than needed.
Selecting energy-efficient appliances and products is another way individuals can conserve energy. When shopping for new appliances, looking for the ENERGY STAR® label is essential. ENERGY STAR products typically exceed minimum federal standards by a substantial amount, ensuring lower operating costs over time. For example, ENERGY STAR-certified clothes washers use approximately 20% less energy than standard models
For example many hotels still use hot wind clothing dryer.It is just like a big hair dryer. Dry clothes by raising the temperature very high.
But Heat-pump dryer has much better energy-efficient.
Keep using Energy saving switch
Most Asia hotels and europe hotels already have a good energy saving product-Energy saving switch.
The energy saving switch is help the guest save electricity using. It works in a very simple way but is very effective in saving electricity.
For example if guest absent, the air condition inside room has no electricity to running.
Use Battery power Hotel locks not access control
Access control needs a long term power supply on all readers and electronic locks. It has a very low energy efficiency ratio.
The access control power supply is 12V 3A power is 36W 24 hours a day 36*24=864W. if 100 rooms there takes 86 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day.
Electronic hotel lock is 0.8-5watt, access control electronic locks are normally 2.5-18watt.
Green building materials and new tech.
Hotel should consider the green building materials at the beginning in construction. These include recycled materials like reclaimed wood and recycled concrete, which reduce demand for raw materials and minimize waste.
Energy-efficient technologies, such as air source heat pumps and LED lighting systems, help hotels lower energy consumption during hotel’s operational phase. Integrating renewable energy sources, like solar panels, allows hotels to generate clean energy and reduce reliance on fossil fuels
Use lockmate not electronic doorplate.
Lockmate provide the 90% function of electronic doorplate but it do not require extra power supply DC12V.
It is using less energy but do the same job. Because as technology evolves, more efficient ways of solving old problems emerge.
