Green Hotel Concepts September 2010
How much energy do hotels use? • Hard to benchmark • Different metrics • Guestnights • Area • Serviced Area • Gross Internal Area (or Built Up Area) • Total Area (including balconies) • Big variance • Star Rating • Climate • Metrics used Excludes corridors, plant rooms, etc 5 Star hotels & resorts in Abu Dhabi Source: Energy Benchmarking study for Abu Dhabi Hotel Sector by ElieGerges El Choufani (2010). Sponsored by Cundall.
Energy (kWh / m2 of serviced space) 4-5 stars 280 to 320kWh/m2 3 stars 260 to 280kWh/m2 2 stars 240 to 270kWh/m2 Serviced Area = 300 kWh/m2 Gross Int Area = 275 kWh/m2 www.benchmarkhotel.com
Hotel Energy - UK • UK Display Energy Certificate • 105kWh/m2 – electricity • 330kWh/m2 – gas • 435kWh/m2 – TYPICAL 4 hotels in 2008 DEC database of 28,000 buildings
Green Guidelines for Hotels Cundall Role: • Green Building Guidelines for Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) for their new and existing hotels. • Our initial focus will be in the areas of water, energy and waste reduction for the existing 113 hotels in Abu Dhabi.
5 star hotels in Abu Dhabi Gross Internal Area = 567 per m2 of net lettable area
Reducing energy in hotels • People using buildings use energy • Expectations • Behaviour • Passive design • Where is energy consumed? • Light • Equipment • Air • Cooling • Heating – space & water • Renewables
Steps to low carbon design Off site Invest in off site renewables Renewables On-site renewables biomass, solar, wind, micro-hydro Gas CHP, geothermal Heat Recovery Air to air, waste heat from chillers Aquifer Thermal Storage Energy Efficiency Heating, cooling & ventilation systems Control strategy Internal Loads Lighting & Equipment (W/m2) Controls – turn off Reducing energy consumption Passive Design Form: daylight & natural ventilation Fabric: insulation, facade, thermal mass Design Criteria & Expectations Comfort criteria, lighting levels, fresh air quantity, shower flows
Thermal Comfort is 21 to 24ºC ? Air Temperature & Humidity – only part of the issue Comfort criteria = natural ventilation or air conditioning!
Facade influences energy Light Equipment Air Cooling Heating
PassivHaus – minimise heating • Thermos Flask Building • Super insulation • Airtight • Winter heating • Mechanical vent with heat recovery • Tiny heating system • Summer cooling • Open the windows • Expensive but effective PassivHaus Uwindows = 0.8 Uwalls = 0.1 Uroof = 0.1 Permeability = 0.05ach
Secure Natural Ventilation Double Glazing with Interstitial blind. Window is openable. Ventilation panel allows secure, bug free ventilation. Example window system – Scandic Hotel, Sweden
Hotel Room Concept • Low Energy: Comfort + Air Quality • 100% outside air heat recovery unit with heating coil • No mechanical cooling • Thermal mass to moderate temperatures • Ceiling fan for improved summer comfort • Passive Design • Shading to suit orientation • Openable window • Highly insulated & sealed facade • Uwalls = 0.22 • Uwindow = 1.8 • Air Tightness = 4m3/hr
Variation (modular bathroom pod) Heating Hot Water circuit could supply chilled water for cooling. Fresh Air Supply could be tempered in peak summer conditions
LEDs are improving LED linear replacement lamps available today do not compete with linear T8 fluorescent lamps on the basis of light output, colour quality, distribution, lumen maintenance, or cost-effectiveness. Source: US Dept of Energy (2010)
Which controls would you prefer? Simple? Complicated? OFF Warmer Cooling Fresh Air Only Cooler Heating
Reduce hot water use • Hot water = 25%+ of hotel energy consumption • Reduce water use: • 8l/min showers • 4l/min taps Hoxton Hotel, London Interesting towel sign (heavy) rain shower
Guest education is important Notice in bedroom – Scandic Hotel, Sweden
Renewable Heat Solar Hot Water Biomass Boiler Heat Pump (air or ground source)
Solar Hot Water Hampton by Hilton, Brasov
VatraDornei Hotel Ground Source Heat Pump plus Biomass Boiler (+ Solar Thermal for DHW & swimming pool)
Renewable Electricity Photovoltaic Panels Wind Turbines Biofuel Combined Heat & Power (CHP)
