“…Deng and Burnett [29] used data based on utility billing, augmented by actual site measurement and operational information to study the energy performance of 16 different hotel buildings in Hong Kong. Their result estimated the Energy Use Intensity (EUI) per unit floor area for all the hotels and examined the correlation between obtained EUI and several factors such as year of construction, occupancy, hotel class and weather.…”

Adverse effects of anthropogenic climate change has resulted in mitigation strategies geared towards curbing CO 2 emissions. Consequently, this has increased demand for more energy efficient buildings. Considerable amounts of studies have shown the existence of a significant discrepancy between estimated energy consumption by thermal simulation software and actual building operational energy; this is referred to as a 'performance gap'. This work presents a method of improving the energy consumption estimate in an existing non-domestic building via the use of a case study UK hotel (Hilton Reading) and Engineering Development Solutions limited (EDSL) TAS thermal simulation software. The method involves evaluating consumption estimates through plant modelling, and modifying this result by surveying the site to verify the simulation data and including estimates of unaccounted building energy use such as catering services which can be significant in hotels. The energy consumption result for this case study building gives an estimate which is within 12% of the actual building consumption data. The result also demonstrated that such models can produce energy consumption estimates that are up to 23% more accurate than building regulation compliance models and that more accurate simulation consumption estimates can be achieved by accounting for more unregulated energy uses, for example, lifts, servers and small power load.

“…and in the second category 17.59 KWh/p.n.s..They also found that electricity was the main energy source used in all the hotels. A study on the energy performance of 16 quality hotels in Hong-Kong has been reported by Deng et al , 2000. The authors stated that the average energy consumption was 564 KWh/m 2 per year and electricity was the main energy source used.…”

The energy analysis of five summer operating hotels in Crete, Greece was implemented and their average annual energy consumption has been estimated at 149 KWh/m 2 and 19.4 KWh/p.n.s. Their average annual CO2 emissions due to energy use have also been estimated at 12.1 kg CO2/p.n.s.. Hotels in Crete utilize various renewable energy technologies with solar thermal energy being the most widely used. Apart from solar thermal energy, solar cooling, passive solar, solar-PV, solid biomass burning and low enthalpy geothermal energy with heat pumps have also been used in various cases. Since some of these technologies are currently cost effective having at the same time many environmental benefits , it is expected that in the future renewable energy technologies will have more applications in providing heat , cooling and electricity in hotels in Crete. Use of various renewable energy technologies in hotels could result in zeroing their CO2 emissions due to the energy use in them. The Greek government currently subsidizes the use of energy saving and renewable energy technologies in hotels aiming in reducing their high energy consumption and the use of the polluting fossil fuels in them.

“…Gross floor area (GFA) is often used to calculate the energy consumption per m2 in the assessment of energy efficiency (Deng and Burnett, 2000;Paul and Taylor, 2008). Therefore, it can be inferred that a building with larger GFA is likely to save more energy than others at the same level of energy efficiency.…”

Green Building Certification Systems (GBCS) are carried out in many countries due to the rising awareness of the importance of sustainability in the building industry. The intention should have motivated participants to construct and operate buildings sustainably, however, there is not yet a method developed to investigate the motivation of the participants. Based on the GBCS, this paper proposes the contribution index as a standard global method to analyze the performance of participants in the green building industry. Three contribution indices, namely Frequency Contribution Index (FCI), Intensity Contribution Index (ICI) and Comprehensive Contribution Index (CCI) that concern each different category of participant, have been formulated. Three further analyses based on the index were undertaken to investigate some features of the industry. A case study of Singapore was conducted to show how the contribution index could be used to extract industry patterns and trends and assess the participants’ performance in the green building industry. Interviews with experts provide some suggested applications and support for the findings.
