We are we forever looking to west for means, methods and machinery?

Independent only on tariffs often missing a matching deliverance of comfort and service.

Retro-fitting difficulties

idea posted by Nirmal Karan Product/Brand Manager, KingfisherAirlines

Hotels that were not designed to be energy efficient from the outset may find it difficult to compete because it is not so easy for grey water recovery, combined heat and power systems or ground heat pumps. Design flexibility will be vital as new developments need to not only include the latest sustainability methodologies but also build in the flexibility to adapt or retro-fit equipment as clean technology continues to develop.

This is by far the most sensible idea. Today this is the flexi ability that Hotels need to fit in with their process at the infrastructure level itself to enable them comply with clean energy environment. Very well put Nirmal. :)

Add your argument:

Customer travel

idea posted by Sushil Soren Executive Manager, Hospitality Services

Hotels exist because people travel and therefore they are dependent upon guests arriving via long distance travel. Hotel industry might find demand reduced if and when oil prices rise significantly.

Energy demand management

idea posted by Sushil Soren Executive Manager, Hospitality Services

With the growth of hotel industry due to increase in travel and tourism, there is a steep rise in energy demand by the hotels. More big hotels and more will be the demand. New technology should be used that will reduce electricity usage in peak periods to smooth overall demand.

Give a thought to energy conservation and reduction as well.... 

Add your argument:

Waste reduction and recycling

idea posted by Sushil Soren Executive Manager, Hospitality Services

The costs of disposing of non-recyclable waste will continue to rise as landfill availability reduces and is more heavily taxed to reduce landfill use. Recycling costs is also high and needs innovation so that everyone can make use of it.
