ENERGY SAVING INITIATIVES
Energy Saving initiatives An energy conservation project was carried out at Taj Vivanta Hotel (formerly
• Motion sensors in public area toilets known as Taj Residency Hotel) at Bangalore, between 1997 to 1999. The hotel had a
• Timers on external lighting 300TR Centrifugal Chiller, a 150TR Screw Chiller and few nos. 100TR reciprocating
• 5 kw solar panel which supply fire exit compressors as back up in those years. Major energy savings were achieved with its air
lights for the entire hotel conditioning plant operations through process optimization.
• Replaced 12 , 50 w halogen with 7 In-addition it was facing tripping issues with its Centrifugal Chiller due to grid
watt LED in guest room. voltage fluctuations/ sags. That got eliminated after they installed Harmonic Filter.
(Harmonic filtering acts to filter out the electrical harmonics in a system. This
can reduce overheating of equipment, reduce nuisance tripping of circuit breakers and
fuses and improve power quality contributing to reduced energy costs) They had
implemented total power management philosophy for enhancing 3P, Power,
Productivity and Profitability.
For Energy saving accounting purpose, they had chosen 1997 as the base line
year, during which the hotel's 365-day average daily power consumption was at 11,845
units per day. Post implementation, and during the year 1999, it was reduced to 11,015
units, a Net Savings of 7.5%.
This super luxury 5-star hotel became one of the most efficient hotels with
lowest air conditioning power consumption, and very few hotels in the world, could
have matched that. Its yearlong energy consumption pattern varies with seasonal
variations and occupancy rates, which is enclosed along with the hotel's PIE-CHART
of major consumption.
ELECTRICAL CONSUMPTION IN HOTELS
The hospitality sector accounts for a large proportion of energy use in commercial buildings. In any operational hotel building,
electricity accounts for more than 50% of total energy utilization and is used for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC),
lighting system etc. The electrical needs of a hotel depend on the type and extent of facilities being provided and the rating of the hotel
The electrical installations in hotels include the following services:

1. Supply intake,
2. Main distribution centre,
3. Ventilation and exhaust systems,
4. Kitchen,
5. Laundry,
6. Cold storage,
7. Health club,
8. Swimming pool and filtration plants,
9. Restaurants and bars,
10. Interior lighting,
11. Telephones,
12. Channelized music,
13. Service lifts and passenger lifts,
14. Offices,
15. Fire protection and alarm systems,
16. Banquet halls and conference facilities,
17. Gardens and parking lots and illumination systems therein,250
18. Illuminated signs, display lights and decorative illuminations, and
19. Emergency system.
LIGHTING
The lighting system is the most visible

energy user in the building. And while it’s
usually a hotel’s largest energy consumer,
lighting may well be the first place to look
for energy savings. Some hotels report
finding 20 to 50 percent savings in their
lighting systems. These savings are some of
the most rewarding to achieve because most
are easy to make and cost little or nothing.

SOME TIPS FOR EFFICIENT LIGHTING IN HOTELS
1)Incandescent bulbs are least efficient and

have the shortest lives, but have the
advantage of low first cost, good color
rendition and easy installation. Fluorescents
are popular in general because they are 4 to
5 times more efficient and have 10 times
the life expectancy of incandescent.
Retrofitting exit signs is one of the
quickest payback projects in many hotels.
The idea of replacing conventional exit signs
with energy-efficient compact fluorescent
ones has been widely promoted over the
past ten years. Instead of two incandescent
light bulbs that last a few months, compact
fluorescent exit signs require only about 12
watts and generally last two years in
continuous use
SOME TIPS FOR EFFICIENT LIGHTING IN HOTELS
Retrofitting Corridor Fixtures are

also a quick payback project in
hotels. Attractive fixtures that
house compact fluorescent lamps
with color rendition similar to that
of an incandescent are available. In
most cases, no one will notice the
difference.
2) Converting to LED exit signs has

become more popular. The light
emitting diode, or LED meets
electrical code requirements in most
applications, uses minimal amounts
of electricity and lasts up to 50
years. LED’s are winners for cost
savings and avoiding the
inconvenience of replacing lamps.
SOME OTHER TIPS
1. Control Outdoor Lighting. Most hotels have lights that are left on all the time for code compliance or to meet safety
and security needs. While meeting code requirements, use only lighting necessary to do the job. It is recommended
that the outside lighting should also be fitted with timers. Different timing should be set for summer and winter
months. The alternative lights can be switched off after 11.30 pm. It is also recommended to create zones of every
third lamp, and have each zone turn on 30 minutes apart, and turn off 30 minutes apart, instead of all at once.
2. Rewiring. If your present switches don’t give you enough control to turn off unneeded lights, you should consider
rewiring and installing additional switches or dimmers.
3. Occupancy Sensors. In public areas where employees forget to turn lights off, an occupancy sensor may be the
answer. These easy-to-install motion detecting devices turn lights on and off automatically in a space such as a
restroom, storage area or stockroom. A sensor can be mounted on the wall where a light switch would normally go
or can be installed in the ceiling or high on a wall. Occupancy sensors are activated when they detect motion, heat
or both. Energy savings from sensors is greater the more hours the lights are off and the more watts controlled by
the sensor. Savings from 20% to 40% are possible and even greater savings are possible when spaces are
infrequently used. Consider installing occupancy sensors in the following: senior executive offices, conference
rooms, employee locker rooms, restrooms, stockrooms, and storage areas. While providing the sensors in toilets it is
important to note that WC areas should be kept out of the circuit to avoid inconvenience to the guests.
4. Use Task Lighting. Install desk lamps for close work at office desks and reception desks. This type of task lighting
puts light where it is needed, when it is needed, and may permit ceiling lighting levels to be lowered.
5. Use Day Lighting. Day lighting is the practice of using free light from the sun during the day to supplement or even
eliminate purchased light. Taking advantage of day lighting may require installation of blinds or shades to control
heat gain and glare. Combining this with rewiring and installation of switches will enable you to save money by
turning off lights when they are not needed.
HOTELS ARE DESIGNED AS PER THESE STANDARDS
The Electrical system design of hotels is conformed to the

requirements of the following Standards:
a. Indian Electricity Rules.
b. National Electrical Code of India.
c. National Building Code of India (NBC).
d. Applicable standards issued by the Bureau of Indian
Standards (BIS)
e. Regulations of local fire authorities.
