1	ENERGY WEEK 2006 Energy Management for Sustainable Development Opportunities for Energy Efficiency and Conservation in the Hotel Industry Bishnu Tulsie SLNT
2	Energy and Sustainable Development Energy and the Bottom Line Energy and the Environment Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction in Saint Lucia: Results of a Survey in the Hotel Sector Opportunities for the Future
3	Energy and the Bottom Line
4	National Energy Bill (EC$ Millions)
5	Global Warming: Saint Lucia’s Contribution in MT: 1994
6	Energy Audit Training Workshop February 2004 Funded by CIDA Climate Change Development Fund Conducted by Lewis Engineering & Marbek Resource Consultants Inc. Initiative of the MPDEH to implement the Sustainable Energy Plan
7	GHG Emissions Reduction the Hotel sector GHG Sources: Heating Air conditioning and ventilation Cooling Hot water production Lighting Cooking Other electrical consumption
8	What exists
9	House Keeping Improve data collection and analysis Use results to determine most cost effective conservation measures and implement Monitor and analyse results
10	Options for improvements Energy Records will: Track energy use over time Help identify “hot spots” Support management and investment decisions
11	Water Measures Identify and stop leaks Install water conservation measures Investigate and implement recycling options Use pumps only when mains pressure is low Place pool pumps on timers
12	Natural Ventilation This is a mainly a design characteristic and to be considered at that phase. Use of fans can mitigate certain levels of design flaws
13	Air conditioning Purchase equipment with higher EER Appropriate sizing of units Use of central cooling using chiller systems Preventative maintenance Placement of condenser units
14	Lighting Lighting levels Use of fluorescent and CFLs Use of timers and motion detectors Solar options for lawns, walkways and security lighting
15	Room controls Use of motion detectors Use of room key cards to energize room circuits Use of circulatory to minimise air conditioning requirements
16	Hot water Replace electric water heaters with solar hot water systems
17	Insulation Use of vegetation to provide shading Provide natural ventilation for attic spaces Incorporate thermal insulation in external walls and roofs
18	Impact of Study Two target hotels incorporated some measures Records not kept to determine impact Initial cost to implement measures considered prohibitive
19	Way Forward Institutionalize energy audits Promote ESCOs Create revolving fund to support conservation measures Set efficiency standards for appliances Provide further incentives to invest in efficiency and conservation. Promote cogeneration under specific conditions
