To reduce energy consumption in hotels, start small
During the epidemic, how to control hotel costs has always been a concern of everyone. Those companies with cost advantages and price advantages will take the lead in the future competition, and energy consumption is an important part of the daily cost of hotels.
Today we will share these tips to reduce energy costs for hotel reference.
01
Conservation and Control of Water Energy
Inductive water-saving faucets can be installed in public toilets, and flow-saving water faucets can be installed in the bathrooms of rooms. By properly controlling the water flow, 1⁄3 can be saved.
The hotel can recycle part of the waste water and use it to water the green space, wash the car, cool down…
The hotel can use the rainwater collection system, which can be reused after treatment, so as not to let the resources flow in vain.
An intelligent induction water-saving system can be installed in the staff bathroom.
Create a water-saving atmosphere and use vivid forms to remind guests and employees. For example, place reminder cards in guest rooms and public toilets: 4 cups of water are needed to wash with one cup, etc.
02
Energy saving and control
Establish a system, mobilize employees to develop good habits, strengthen the inspection of hydropower, oil and gas leakage, and put an end to the constant flow of water. According to testing, domestic general enterprises waste 5%-10% due to running and dripping.
Adopt new energy-saving light source. Although the price of energy-saving lamps is several times higher than that of traditional incandescent lamps, the luminous efficiency is 4-5 times higher and the service life is 8-10 times longer, which is completely economically feasible. If all hotels use energy-saving lamps for lighting, at least 70% of electricity can be saved. Moreover, the spectral chromaticity of energy-saving lamps is now close to that of incandescent lamps, which does not affect the contrast of the atmosphere.
A large number of various types of sign indicators and night lights in the hotel can use light-emitting diode LED lights, each of which consumes less than 1 watt of power. Induction energy-saving lamps should be used in corridor aisles and fire stairs to prevent ever-bright lights.
Adopt intelligent power-saving voltage regulating switch system. Public areas of hotels: Lobby, conference hall, multi-function hall, banquet hall, etc. are often equipped with hundreds of light bulbs. This system can adjust the voltage and irradiance according to the sunshine conditions and the atmosphere to be created, which can save about 20% of electricity.
Install solar panels on the roof and wall according to local conditions to provide supplementary power for the hotel. The average sunshine in China is more than 2000 hours. The newly built hotel can achieve the functions of collecting, storing and distributing solar energy according to the optimized design of the building itself. Solar heating, solar cooling, solar electricity, etc., each square meter of solar panels can save 800 degrees of electricity a year and save 300 kilograms of standard coal.
Outdoor solar street lights, lawn lights, flood lights, lighting signs, etc. can be used. Some hotels in Japan have adopted solar parking sheds, which can not only provide shade for guests’ vehicles from exposure to the sun, reduce the energy consumption and air pollution of the car’s air conditioner, but also provide power for the hotel. There is no technical problem with such an approach, the key lies in the concept.
Set the temperature of the air conditioner to 28°C. Air conditioning in many hotels makes guests feel too cold in summer and too hot in winter. The Japanese government once held a campaign to promote energy saving, requiring hotels and office buildings to adjust the air conditioner to 28°C, and encouraging people to take off their suits and ties and wear short-sleeved casual shirts during official and business activities. It can not only reduce the power consumption of air conditioners by 10%, but also greatly reduce the probability of suffering from air conditioner diseases.
03
Efficient use of basic materials
Advocate not to take the initiative to provide six small disposable items, hotels can provide them appropriately according to the needs of guests, this approach will be recognized by more and more consumers.
Disposable plastic bags, tableware, and disposable tablecloths are not provided to reduce waste. The use of refined steel chopsticks can be advocated, which is easy to sterilize at high temperature and can be used permanently.
Save paper. Using paperless office, the paper can be used on both sides. Napkins, paper towels, notes, and stationery are not open for supply, one for each person, and they need to be given. Try to use mouth cloths and small towels that can be used multiple times.
Lost cotton fabrics can be transformed into rags, mops, chair covers, etc.
Useful old computers, furniture, bedding, etc. can be transferred or donated to poverty-stricken areas for recycling. Conclusion: Advocate green consumption, hotel products are the final consumer goods at the end, hotels should establish a sense of social responsibility and advocate saving as a way of life. Use lively and diverse forms to create a saving atmosphere.
