As economies expand and the world populationcontinues to grow, energy demand is increasing
worldwide. Currently, 80% of the world energy supply
comes from fossil fuels (coal, petrol and natural gas)which emit greenhouse gases causing climate change
and other negative environmental impacts. Fossil fuels
are finite and non-renewable, and their reserves aredecreasing faster than new ones are being formed.

Energy consumption by hotels has a majorenvironmental impact. Hotels are among the topfive types of buildings in the service sector forenergy consumption.. It is now internationallyrecognised that the world must dramaticallyreduce greenhouse gas emissions by decreasingits use of fossil fuels. The hotel sector cancontribute by becoming more energy efficient
and increasing its use of renewable energytechnologies

ENERGY EFFICIENCY RENEWABLE ENERGYY
Energy which comes from natural resourcessuch as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, andgeothermal heat, which are renewable(naturally replenished).
About 16% of global final energyconsumption comes from renewables, with10% coming from traditionalbiomass,which is mainly used for heating, and 3.4%from hydroelectricity.
New renewables (small hydro, modernbiomass, wind, solar, geothermal, andbiofuels) accounted for another 3% and aregrowing very rapidly.

Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions
(i.e., emissions produced by human activities)come from combustion of carbon based fuels,
principally wood, coal, oil, and natural gas.

SUMMARY OF CHENACT FINDINGS
CHENACT is a energy and climate change project in the tourism sector that
introduced new concepts to its principal counterparts (e.g., EE/REtechnologies, performance contracting, CDM)
There is considerable variation in the EE index among similar sized hotelproperties, particularly for small hotels (

SUMMARY OF CHENACT FINDINGS
Despite high and rising cost of electricity, investments in cost-
effective EE projects remain a challenge for Barbados hotels.
A hotel clean energy policy framework includes initiatives by multiple
sectors and entities (e.g., tourism, environment, energy, utility
regulation, building and planning authorities, finance, customs).
Over 835,000 tons of CO2e could be reduced annually from hotel EE,however a CDM Program of Activities will initially be limited to a few
countries with Designated National Authorities.
Realizing the potential value of hotel EE investments will require an
integrated approach that includes scope of investment, analysis,
technologies, financing, installation, and performance related
services.
