Quick Bio
In the Energy Services business since 1996 Our Only business Have been working in the ESCO business
concept since our inception Expanded regionally : subsidiaries and sister
companies in Qatar, Syria, Morocco, Cyprus , and Greece
Projects undertaken in more than 17 countries in EMEA and Asia Pacific.
Quick Bio
Performed more than 550 energy audits – 200 in the hospitality sector
Implemented more than 200 EE projects
Complete Energy Services Lifecycle from the consulting works to the implementation of efficiency measures
Quick Bio : ClientsPartial Hospitality List
CSR , Green initiatives, Climate Change and cost optimization programs are all pushing energy management at the forefront of all sectors
FACTS
Sustainable Development (SD) v/s Social Networking (SN)
Growing Trends in Green Hotels
• An average hotel releases between 160 and 200 Kg of CO2 per m2 of room floor area per year• Water consumption per guest per night is between
170 L and 440 L in the average 5 stars Hotel• On average, Hotels produce 1Kg of waste per guest
per night
Environmental Impacts of Hotels
Excluding labor, energy is typically the highest cost that hoteliers face and is the single fastest-growing operating cost in the hospitality industry
FACT for Hotels
Travelers are increasingly considering sustainability in making travel plans.
Business travelers increasingly consider a hotel’s sustainability in making their selections, and 40 percent of those surveyed are willing to pay a premium for it.
Deloitte, “Risks and Rewards for Building Sustainable Hotels,”
Does Green Matter to Guests?
Reducing energy costs while continuing to meet the diverse needs of guests, owners and corporate requirements is challenging but by no means impossible.
Energy Efficiency in Hotels: A possible balancing Act
Energy efficiency provides hotel owners and operators cost savings that benefit the bottom line.
Efficiency also improves the service of capital equipment, enhances guest comfort and demonstrates a commitment to climate stewardship.
Environmental friendliness can be a market strength for a hotel brand, which can lead to a better reputation among consumers.
Benefits of Energy Efficiency in Hotels
Sustainability in Hotels WHY?
To improve brand image, build trust, and build reputation
To save money To increase employee/guests satisfaction,
engagement, and retention To foster a good public image To manage risk and regulatory compliance To improve operations To demonstrate corporate social responsibility
Energy Services Lifecycle
What’s in it for hotels from third party firms ?
Low-cost energy efficiency opportunities exist in all hotels.
A typical hotel can save 5 to more than 30% with measures having payback periods of less than five years.
EE opportunities
Opportunities can be grouped into two broad categories: 1.Low-cost/no-cost measures that involve changes in operating or maintenance practices;2.Measures that involve capital investments in new equipment
• “Efficiency retrofits“: existing installations replaced with energy efficient components• Modification of existing installations
EE opportunities
Energy Audits are like photography

In fact, a lot of skills and experience are needed to ensure that recommendations are cost effective, technically feasible and result in significant energy savings
• Everybody thinks they can do it• Tools are cheap and available• Producing a product is easy• But results may vary…

Beyond the technical aspects:Employee Engagement
Typically, managers are focused on their duties and struggle to cope with SD
In a hotel operation ALL departments are involved in energy related operations
Engineering department is only one chain Alignment is needed amongst all departments Full transparency on SD& results top to bottom
Beyond the technical aspects:Employee Engagement
Case Study :
Energy Audits completed for the 7 properties of Sun Resorts Group by the end of 2013
Energy Audits at SR
EE opportunities in SRG
Total annual utilities > $10M
Total Potential Annual Savings for all properties : $3M (about 30%) with a CAPEX of $4.28M ($1.3 M on thermal energy and $1.7 on electrical energy)
Low-cost (no CAPEX) energy efficiency opportunities > $240K per year
Phase II : 2014 EEG Action Plan
EEG will : Undertake a workshop for all managers of
the group on EE Train all director of engineering &
assistants on EE and Energy Audits results Lead all the chosen EEMs implementation Unify utilities reporting format Carbon footprint reporting at hotel and
group levels Setup the Energy Committee in every hotel Remote Energy Management
