EP&T are engaged at hotels with the common objective of establishing an independent, ‘single source of truth’ from which the management team would deliver energy efficiency and cost reductions.
The hotels within our portfolio encompass a range of operators including Hilton, Marriott, Accor and IHG and service levels range from 3.5 to 5 stars.
In all cases, the achieved savings have been greater than the fee to deploy EDGE Insight+, as shown:
- Average annual fee per room = $219
- Average annualised saving per room = $445
Cost reductions have included:
- Active monitoring of CHP unit efficiency and optimisation of over-sized units where required.
- Implementation of an automatic Chilled Water Temperature Setpoint Reset strategy to allow more efficient control of the chillers, particularly in cooler seasons.
- Faulty BMS controllers and software programming causing excessive HVAC usage due to simultaneous heating and cooling of unoccupied spaces.
- Isolation of overdoor heaters during warmer months to avoid unnecessary electric heating.
