ABSTRACT
Hotels are the largest consumers of energy not only in building construction but also as establishments with complex installations, which provide guests with high levels of multi-faceted comfort and exclusive amenities, treatment and facilities. Many of the services provided to hotel guests are highly resource-intensive whether it concerns energy, water or raw materials. A significant amount of the energy used is wasted, leaving ample room for intelligent measures of energy efficiency and conservation. Since the installation of techniques that can save energy, water and raw materials in hotels can achieve environmental progress and offer competitive advantages to hotels in outperforming their counterparts, many new energy-saving facilities have been introduced by the hotel sector in the past few years following technological advances.
