Hotel facilities and equipment generate a lot of energy consumption in operation, such as electricity, liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas, gas, gasoline, diesel oil, cold and hot water, etc. For example, with the increase of fuel demand and rising fuel prices, the cost of hotels is also increasing, so it is imperative to save energy and reduce consumption. In today's increasingly fierce competition in the hotel industry, reducing operating costs is the key factor to gain competitive advantage.
Economy hotels can implement energy-saving and consumption-reducing strategies, strengthen cost control internally, reduce operating costs to a minimum, and become a cost leader in the industry. For budget hotels, because customers are highly sensitive to price, obtaining low-cost advantage is a powerful competitive way. If the operating cost of budget hotels is low, when they compete with competitors in the industry, they can take advantage of the attraction of low prices to win sales and market share from competitors, and obtain profits higher than the average level of their industries with their low-cost advantages.
saving energy and reducing consumption can greatly reduce the cost and internal friction of economic hotels, reduce the development burden of economic hotels, and bring direct economic benefits to economic hotels. Strengthening management and technical transformation are effective ways to save energy and reduce costs in budget hotels.
hotel energy-saving and emission-reduction measures
hotels should analyze the water, electricity and thermal energy systems in detail, and establish a database of energy use and consumption, so as to provide a basis for the implementation of energy quantitative management.
Through daily monitoring and meter reading of energy metering devices, energy management is upgraded from qualitative to quantitative, and the situation of water, electricity, gas and heat energy in the hotel is analyzed every month, and charts are made according to the hotel's operating income. Compared with the same period of last year, energy-saving suggestions and measures are put forward to help and guide the rational utilization of energy in the hotel.
Clear responsibilities are the basis of energy saving and consumption reduction. Hotels can implement quota management according to the analysis results, decompose the use indicators and energy-saving indicators into various departments, and adjust and control the energy consumption of each department; Improve the monitoring system, implement control and calculation by parts, analyze data indicators in combination with business conditions, and track and deal with abnormal situations in time; Strengthen the maintenance of pipe network water supply system, and trace the loopholes through data analysis to reduce the occurrence of running, running, dripping, leaking and long running water.
Energy saving of hotel air-conditioning system
In addition to selecting energy-saving refrigeration units and new refrigerants, hotel air-conditioning system can also adopt ice storage refrigeration equipment, that is, using the late-night power supply system to make ice during the off-peak hours to reserve the air-conditioning chilled water system for use during the peak hours, which can save about 31% ~ 41% of electricity bills. In addition, the partition start-up efficiency consumption can be realized in air conditioning operation.
saving methods to reduce maintenance costs
the more detailed the daily maintenance and repair work is, the damage rate and repair rate of equipment can be greatly reduced, so equipment maintenance and repair are real energy-saving measures. The engineering department of the hotel shall, on the premise of ensuring the normal operation of the equipment, carry out the routine inspection and regular maintenance of the equipment to people and departments for random inspection at any time, and solve the problems in time when found. This will not only save maintenance costs and prolong the service life of the equipment, but also provide a strong guarantee for the normal business of the hotel. While strengthening the management of energy saving and consumption reduction, budget hotels should also use the latest science and technology to create benefits.
promote the use of energy-saving appliances
if funds permit, hotels can promote the use of energy-saving appliances to enhance their competitive strength. In sanitary bathing facilities and equipment, the use of water-saving appliances with advanced design technology can reduce the amount of flushing water each time and put an end to the old problem of "long running water" in toilets, which can not only save a lot of water, but also save money for hotel operation.
As a supporting facility of the hotel, the bathroom consumes a lot of water. The usual measures of installing pedals and spray heads will not only reduce the comfort of guests, but also be easily damaged by people and increase the maintenance workload and cost. If the throttle plate is installed in the outlet pipe to reduce the water flow, the water flow can be reduced by nearly 41% under the condition of ensuring normal bathing water.
Optimal use of food supplies
Try to reduce the supply of bottled drinks, and take measures to recycle the bottles when selling bottled drinks. The production process of glass products will consume a lot of energy.
Give priority to the purchase of milk and drinks in large-capacity packages, and minimize unnecessary packaging.
when storage conditions are available, meat and eggs can be purchased in large quantities, which can reduce the cost and energy consumption during transportation.
new goods are put inside and under the container, and the inventory is used first. Pay attention to regularly check the warehouse to minimize the waste caused by food decay.
Give priority to paper products made of recycled materials, including toilet paper, napkins, facial tissues, toilet seats, bags, etc.
Try to use tablecloths and tableware that can be reused after cleaning, and try to reduce the use of disposable items.
waiters and chefs are required to use reusable hats, and employees are required to use non-disposable tableware for working meals.
Hotel steam waste heat utilization and condensed water recovery
Laundry room, heat exchange room and warm air conditioner, as big steam users, produce a lot of steam condensed water. For example, the steam used in washing and ironing clothes in the hotel laundry room, the steam cooked in the kitchen and the waste heat of flue gas from thermal boilers all have large calorific value and can be used. According to statistics, the energy consumption of hotels can be reduced by about 1% through the utilization of steam waste heat and the recovery of condensed water.
installing reclaimed water treatment system
the concept of reclaimed water is relative to "water supply" and "water supply". The so-called "water supply" is tap water and clean water; "launching" refers to sewage; "Reclaimed water" is the water that urban sewage is collected and treated again, also known as "reclaimed water" and "recycled water". Because the treatment process is relatively simple, the water quality is far worse than tap water, between clean water and sewage, so the reclaimed water can not be drunk and can only be reused in a certain range; Now the price of urban tap water continues to rise, and the economic benefits of reclaimed water treatment system are increasingly prominent.
