“…Furthermore, Trung and Kumar (2005) stated that increasing costs of resources and the impact of waste could affect the income, environmental performance, and public image of the hotel. Karagiorgas et al (2007) introduced a model for the simulation of the energy flows and energy consumptions in a hotel. The energy flows in the hotel start from the various fuel inputs (such as LPG, electricity, etc.…”

ABSTRACT. Competitiveness has been a subject of study in the manufacturing and related sectors since the early 1990s. However, only recently have some researchers started to examine the tourism and hospitality competitiveness, both conceptually and empirically, with a particular focus on tourism destinations and the hotel industry. The goal of this article is to review the published studies on destination and hotel competitiveness, provide critiques, and point out future directions in tourism and hotel competitiveness research. Such a review shall provide researchers with a good understanding of the current status of competitiveness research and with a vision for advancing the existing knowledge of destination and hotel competitiveness.

“…In general, hotels located in temperate areas consume less energy than those located in extremely cold and hot areas. Some studies concentrated on energy use per guest/night (Bohdanowicz and Martinac, 2007;Karagiorgas et al, 2007;Lu et al, 2013;Wang and Huang, 2013;Warnken et al, 2005). Only a few studies focused on the GHG emissions generated by energy consumption (Beccali et al, 2009;Wu et al, 2010).…”

“…The energy balance [15] of the above graph clearly shows that the energy needs of a building with low consumption can be more than covered by a system of production such as solar PV and that the excess energy produced can be useful for producing hydrogen for use in mobility (Figure 11). …”

The goal of this work is to evaluate and to give evidence to innovative and sustainable technologies applied in the construction industry to carry out self-sufficient energy and to use the surplus energy for the production of hydrogen vector. An architectural integration design along with high technological systems is performed. The intermittency of renewable energy sources along with climatic conditions dependency imposes to store the energy produced, since it is clean and having a big calorific value: the hydrogen vector is currently the better energy carrier. The energy to obtain hydrogen by dissociation of water is supplied by a photovoltaic (PV) system. Through the computations of the annual energy balance between building's demand and supply energy, it is shown that the extra energy produced by the solar generation system is used also for the hydrogen sustainable mobility. The renewable systems, model's design and case study are tackled for the bigger one of the Dodecanese islands in the South Aegean Sea: Rhodes (Rodos). The Zero energy building's integrative design-based approach, applied to the Hotel Buildings type industry is targeted to have new hotels buildings, in the Mediterranean typical warm climate, with zero energy consumption. The designers, authors of this work, have studied a real case or pilot project of an hotel, in the resort formula, suitable to the Greek landscape, showcasing technologies and innovations supporting environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, use of renewable energy, electricity storage by fuel cells that are tools particularly applicable to hotel facility [1]. The feasibility of this case study or pilot project is aligned jointly to the target of Zero Emission and Energy Efficiency EU Policy, as imposed by EU Directives. The strategic position of Rhodes in a geographical point full of sun and wind renewable energy power, enables to ensure the clean energy production, the current interesting development of the hydrogen as energy vector in the buildings [2] and also to satisfy the demand of tourists' accommodation by having at the same time zero energy costs. Moreover, the presence in the island of the best example worldwide of ancient and sustainable built environment (UNESCO World Heritage site), represents also the best motivation to give witness there of a zero impact environmental urban development through the adoption of these achieved scientific results for a major success of Zero Energy Buildings.G.
