Tourism is one of the main drivers of the Spanish economy, and hotels are one of the services tourists use most<\/strong>. Hotels need large amounts of energy<\/strong> to keep their guests comfortable, including temperature, acoustics and lighting, which makes them good candidates for energy efficiency measures.<\/p>\n

The first step is an energy audit<\/strong> to establish energy consumption and identify the improvements to make. These energy efficiency improvements<\/strong> reduce consumption, making the hotel more efficient and environmentally friendly, cutting CO2 emissions and its carbon footprint<\/strong>, while delivering very significant savings.<\/p>\n

Some of the energy efficiency measures for hotels are:<\/p>\n

\u2013 Reviewing contracted power, reducing the electricity bill and switching energy source.<\/strong> The hotel’s electricity consumption should be studied and the contracted power adjusted to actual consumption, with a margin for flexibility, additional equipment and seasonal peaks. At KEIKEN<\/strong> we carry out the study and adjustment, and arrange the switch to renewable, high-efficiency energy sources.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Reviewing and switching to LED lighting.<\/strong> Lighting efficiency should be analysed and, where luminaires, lamps and bulbs use old, inefficient technology, a switch to low-energy LED technology should be considered.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Installing ENERTEQ energy savers.<\/strong> These energy savers reduce energy demand while protecting installed equipment and extending its service life, supporting sustainability.<\/p>\n

ENERTEQ<\/strong> has numerous success stories with energy demand reductions of up to 20%, including references in the hotel sector such as Hotel Mediterr\u00e1neo**** and Hotel Ed\u00e9n**<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Installing presence sensors.<\/strong> A key measure to significantly reduce lighting energy use, especially in corridors and common areas.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Reviewing the building envelope and insulation.<\/strong> Check heat transfer between the building and its surroundings, analysing its geometry, orientation and window placement, and reinforcing areas where significant heating or cooling is lost.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Monitoring and building automation.<\/strong> Effective control of all parameters, providing energy security.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Reviewing and upgrading heat sources.<\/strong> Where boilers are old and very inefficient, replacing them with more efficient technology should be considered. A good alternative is to study renewable sources such as biomass boilers, heat pumps, solar panels or geothermal energy. KEIKEN and its partners can carry out this study.<\/strong><\/p>\n
