Overview:

A leading hotel conducted a nighttime energy survey to identify unnecessary plant and equipment operation during low-occupancy hours. The assessment revealed that air conditioning units, hot water boilers, refrigerators, and office equipment were running when not required.

• Implemented Shutdown Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure non-essential equipment was turned off.

• Optimised the Building Management System (BMS) with corrected time schedules for HVAC, lighting, and hot water systems.

• Trained staff to follow new energy-saving protocols.

Results:

• Achieved a 15% annual reduction in energy consumption.

• Lowered operational costs while maintaining guest comfort.

• Improved overall efficiency without major capital investment.
