A number of energy efficiency opportunities with varying payback periods wereidentified during the assessment.

Cost savings of approximately EUR 600.000 /yr are possible through measuresthat have a short payback period and represent mayor energy and water savings.

The hotels can be seen as the architectural combination of three distinct zones,all serving distinctly different purposes.

The energy flows occurring in these three areas are very different, and need to behandled accordingly.Sub metering is advised to all the hotels in the following areas accordingly:

• Sub metering – Electricity – Water – Heating N1: Total Guest Rooms, lobby, corridors

• Sub metering – Electricity – Water – Heating N2: Kitchen

• Sub metering – Electricity – Water – Heating N3: Restaurants

• Sub metering – Electricity – Water – Heating N4: Spa (if it is applicable)

• Sub metering – Electricity – Water – Heating N5: Meeting Facilities (if it is applicable)

Non or Low investment Actions = Simple short term payback
