Green Growth Energy Services completed today an energy and opportunity assessment for a 4 star, 175-room hotel. Potential savings totalling €91,000 per annum in electricity and heating oil were identified, arising from six different initiatives which were costed at a total budget of €280,000.

The expected savings amount to 29% of the hotel’s 2009 energy costs, and the simple payback of the proposed investment is 3.1 years. Most of the envisaged savings will come from the HVAC system and the control of heat gain from the building envelope.

Green Growth Energy Services were asked by the client to submit a proposal for supervision of the design, tendering and implementation of an initial phase of four initiatives totalling an investment of €200,000 with a delivery target date of April 2011.
