1.Adding Value to Existing Hotels Through Sustainability
Gregoir Chikaher, Director of Global Hotels & Leisure

2. Sustainable Hotel- Key Considerations
A buildings location affects commuting options, local ecosystems, building energy efficiency and much more.
A properly designed and retrofitted envelope helps to maintain the desired indoor conditions and may permit the use of natural ventilation, passive heating, and daylighting.
Materials selected for sustainable buildings should have appropriate performance, durability and environmental properties.Material selection can affect issues ranging from our planets resources to occupant comfort and health.
Economic and Environmental indicators favour the lowest possible man-made changes to the natural hydrological-cycle.
The functionality and energy consumption of a space is highly dependent on the lighting and daylighting design.
A passive system uses the building characteristics to mitigate negative effects of the external environment or to enhance the internal environment.
Efficient mechanical and electrical systems will add value, reduce energy consumption and operational costs and provide better comfort to guests.
The resource use of a building is affected by the way in which it is used, operated and maintained
Renewables including solar, ground source heat pumps, PV cells and wind power are necessary to reduce Carbon emissions and for a better planet.
3. Sustainable hotel step by step approach
Assess the condition and performance of the building
Monitor and control the new performance to obtain the greatest advantage from the capex
Benchmark them against industry best practice
Step by Step approach
Implement the work, which may include staff training and measures to alter the behaviour of guests around water, energy and waste.
Identify interventions which are aligned with the goals of the business
Package the preferred interventions to suit commercial funding arrangements & Operations
Evaluate those in terms of capex, opex, carbon emissions and other indicators
4. Step #1Determine your baseline and appropriate level of refurbishment
Survival Strategy for Existing Hotels
What is the baseline?
FM Audit
Energy Audit
Water Audit
Waste Audit
Indoor Environment Audit
Level of refurbishment
5. Step #2Review your building maintenance, housekeeping and energy purchasing
