Top tips for Hotels and Motels to Save on Energy Costs

Hotels and Motels are making the most of the school holidays and domestic travel. With making a comeback from Covid and the focus being on Sustainability, they are looking more than ever for cost-effective alternatives while keeping their high standards of comfort for their guests. Heating ventilation and cooling systems (HVAC) in hotels is one of the main energy drawers due to it pushing the cool air throughout the building to ensure comfortability for the guests and staffs. 

We also know that guests will change and crank up the air conditioner with the knowledge of them not paying the power bill. 

Here are our latest tips for owners to save on energy costs as they start to get ready for a busy season with Kiwis travelling more domestically.

Tip 1) Always check that the air ducts are working efficiently, if unsure if there is a leakage contact an expert.

Tip 2) Install a variable speed drive/ frequency for your HVAC unit. It will decrease or increase the fan speed by sensing what is needed in the air space. 

Tip 3) Implement night temperature set back when the space is unoccupied. 

Tip 4) Regular filter replacement is important as old filters increase the energy usage with the machine working harder to either cool or heat.

Tip 5) Create a system of checking rooms when guests have checked out to ensure the air conditioner is turned off or is at a controlled setting. 

Tip 6) Consider installing smart Wi-Fi thermostats with occupancy sensors for better temperature control for when the room is occupied and unoccupied. 

The best tip of all is to install Cryogen X4. This product will save energy consumption of the HVAC units for the owners while restoring the performance. It will increase the longevity of the equipment, by removing the build-up of oil in the pipes that migrates from the compressor. Our product Cryogen X4 can enhance refrigerant flow allowing HVAC systems to work faster and more efficiently.
