Energy Conservation and Management In Hotels
Guest satisfaction is the hospitality industry’s top priority, and hotel operators are often hesitant to engage in activities that could be perceived as reducing comfort, convenience, or the overall brand experience. How can guests increase their operations to the guest satisfaction and yet reduce their finances without compromising on the quality? Energy Management System is your solution, with little effort and money you can save give your guests the optimal experience and save better on costs.
Several hotels have already begun to implement energy management systems to reduce costs and improve productivity over the last few years. Energy Management Systems (EMS) are computer-aided tools used to control energy consumption in large facilities and organizations.
Its a collection of applications used to control, optimize, and reduce energy consumption. Heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and lighting are all controlled by hotel energy management systems. They are all equally important and work together to create an environment that is as comfortable as possible. When a visitor arrives at your hotel, first impressions are everything. Aside from the friendly and accommodating staff, the hotel operations will leave an indelible impression on the guest’s experience.
Hotel owners benefit from this because it increases the value of their assets. Energy efficiency cost savings are quantifiable and can be described using key financial metrics such as revenue per available room (RevPAR) or the equivalent increase in ADR.
Each year, America’s 47,000 hotels spend an average of $2,196 per available room on energy. This amounts to about 6% of total operating costs. A 10% reduction in energy consumption through a strategic approach to energy efficiency would have the same financial effect as increasing the average daily room rate (ADR) by $0.62 in limited-service hotels and by $1.35 in full-service hotels.
Energy conservation benefits businesses not only financially, but also in terms of image, industry reputation, general conservation, and social responsibility.
In many cases, implementing processes that benefit the budget, please the planet, and keep customers satisfied requires few changes, “little money, and little effort”.
