Energy Saving Opportunities

In General: Motivations
Motivations may vary:
Saving money? Saving the planet? Looking green?

Actually, the most valid motivation is improving the

business: research shows companies with good energy policies simply do better overall, very much like companies that have good HRD policies simply do better.

This is an important and universal truth!

In General: Approaches
Energy saving is an attitude that pervades through ALL
levels of operations and involves all levels of management, staff, guests, even suppliers, all the time There is no one-single-solution or magic wand. It involves awareness, willingness, understanding, motivation, communication and rewards constantly motivates and reminds people, researches opportunities and communicates results. Prevented or even Trees Planted

It pays to have a champion of energy saving who

Make it live: Measure and express in Carbon Emissions

In General: Starting
Energy saving starts with
measuring and collecting data on current energy usage and costs, to establish the base-line against which improvements and savings are measured and maintained

(available on request)

Measuring and Monitoring

Starts with a walk-through to design a formal
audit:
Determine energy user groups Count lights, ACs motors, pumps, chillers, fridges, etc. Determine measuring points and monitoring methods Report and recommendations, INCLUDING communication strategies

Measuring and Monitoring

Good systems available with easy-toinstall (wireless) sensors, linking to central dashboard

Energy Saving Opportunities

Lighting Room ACs Refrigeration Motors and Pumps Hot Water Transportation

Saving Energy on Lighting

LED Lights CFL Lights

50-80% Savings

Saving Energy on Lighting

Saving Energy on normal fluorescent lights in offices, kitchens, back-of-house Starts the lights at full power, then dials back to 70% Can save up to 30%

Saving Energy on Lighting

Use energy-efficient T5 fluorescent tubes in standard T8 fixtures Saves up to 47%

Room AC Controls

Controls AC fan-coil based on occupancy of room Senses occupancy Senses open doors Wireless, installs in 20 minutes per room 25-40% savings possible No disruption of guest comfort

Bit more sophisticated than Ving key card, but

same principle

F&B Refrigeration
Refrigeration
Variable Speed Compressors (inverter-type) Retrofit Motor Controllers Use food simulation thermostat Thermal Energy Storage to avoid peak hours, with Phase Change Materials (1 m3 of this materials can store 50 kWh cooling) Cases with 45% savings reported

Thermal Energy Storage

Stores cooling produced in off-peak hours for
use during peak hours

Small: from room fridges to walk-in freezers Big: From 45 to 500 TonHours cooling per
module for chiller systems

Motors for Pumps, Lifts, etc.

Variable Speed (or Frequency) Drives
adjust the amount of energy send to the motor according to the actual load Most suited for motors with variable loads 10-20% energy reductions possible

Hot Water: Solar Heat

FREE energy from the sun

Return-on-Investment can be as low as 24

months

Hot Water: Heat Pumps

Basically a reversed chiller, a Heat Pump
harvests and concentrates heat from ambient air (or from water) into hot water 1 kWh electrical energy input produces 3-4 kWh thermal energy output PLUS 2-3 kWh of cooling, giving a COP of up to 7 if the cooling effect can be used. Return-on-Investment can be as low as 18 months

Hot Water: Heat Pumps

Heat Pumps are renewable energy machines and are considered clean energy. They use electricity but very little and they save a LOT of money on dirty fuel Simple retrofits

HEAT PUMPS CAN ALSO EXTRACT HEAT FROM CHILLER RETURN LINES OR COOLING TOWER CIRCUIT TO SAVE ENERGY ON THE CHILLERS!

Transportation
Staff transportation counts Guest transportation counts Supplies transportation counts Think:

Bus Pooling (using recycled vegetable oil?) Electrical motor bikes (solar charged?) Electrical cars and busses (solar charged?)

Notes:
Contained Energy is initiating a waste vegetable
oil recycling program. We will collect your waste oil and either supply bio-diesel back, or pay you for the liters supplied. We will guarantee proper processing.

We are also initiating a solar electric bike

lease/purchase program, for your staff (rewards) and for rental to your guests.

A bit of perspective:
(4/26/2010) Beritabali.com reports that the provincial
government of Bali will soon require tourism enterprises to draw at least 10% of their energy requirements from alternative sources. Included among alternative energy sources are solar power, wind power and water power. The new rules requiring tourism companies to source alternative power supplies will form part of a forthcoming decree by Bali's governor. The new regulations are expected to be introduced in 2011 as part of Bali's commitment to create a "green island" that preserves and protects the environment.

 If, or when, this transition will start taking

place, applying 10% Renewable Energy will be much easier and less costly if energy usage is known, understood and minimized Be prepared!

Summary
Measure, monitor, audit, analyze. Many possibilities and opportunities to

save energy, some with excellent returnon-investment Each hotel will be different and different solutions will apply Transitions HAVE to be made Talk to the Energy Architects..
