Acknowledgements
Green Engage/Soluons is our comprehensive online
sustainability system. It tells our hotels what they can
do to be a green hotel and gives them the means to
conserve resources and save money by measuring,
managing and reporng on their hotel energy, water
and waste consumpon, as well as their community
impacts.
This metric has been reviewed and endorsed,
both internally to IHG and by external third party
organisaons. Actual IHG hotel data has been used in
the technical analysis which informed items included
in this nal dra, and feedback from inial users has
been incorporated. Many thanks go to those who have
contributed and collaborated in the evoluon of this
system making it such a success and industry game
changer.
Quesons can be directed to the CSR team in Denham,
UK.

Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to idenufy appropriate
sustainable building criteria, technologies and
operauonal guidelines for IHG hotels this is our green
baseline. This work builds on our measurement eorts
(IHG Green Measure) by guiding our eort to reduce
what we have measured.
Our green base line is made acuonable via the
prerequisite acuons enumerated in this guide.
Sustainable design and operauons provides safer,
healthier, more comfortable hotels with reduced
environmental, cost and societal impacts.
Designing and operaung a hotel to be sustainable
demonstrates a strong commitment to our guests, the
environment and the future of the planet.
Deinition of Sustainability
Sustainability is about planning for the long term. This
means balancing environmental, economic, and social
demands.
Corporate Responsibility
This is about how companies respond to the
sustainability challenge and how this response impacts
the top and bouom line.
Action Groups (AGS)
In order to achieve the sustainability goals for future
resort/ hotels, eight dierent categories of acuon
groups have been idenued.
These categories are:
Site
Water
Products & Materials
Waste
Building Envelope
Mechanical
Electrical
Operauon & Process
This guideline describes and recommends various design
and operauon strategies and technologies for each of
these categories.
The intent of each Acuon Group is to auempt to comply
with one or more of the following:
Reduce energy consumpuon
Reduce water consumpuon
Reduce carbon footprint
Improve guest health and comfort
Reduce operaung and maintenance costs
Raise guest and sta awareness of sustainable
development
The issue of how best to manage energy costs has
also been addressed in the development of IHG Green
Engage/Soluuons. These acuons are covered in the
energy secuon in the appendix of the guide. The guide
adjusts the acuons to dierent climauc regions.
The four climates considered are: Hot-Humid, Arid,
Temperate and Cold-Alpine. Each Acuon Group is
analysed for its climate appropriateness and sustainable
building performance.

OPERATIONS & PROCESSES
Hotel and hospitality operauons can be very resource intensive. The pracuces and systems set in place to improve hotel operauons and
maintenance are an immediate and public way to exhibit a hotels commitment to the environment.
ENERGY
Lm cient electrical systems in a hotel oer many opportuniues to reduce operaung costs and capture measurable reducuons to environmental
impact. Most saving achieved through lighung design also improve the enjoyment and comfort of spaces.
BUILDING ENVELOPE
The building envelope is the interface between the indoor and outdoor environments. A properly designed envelope helps to maintain the desired
indoor condiuons and may permit the use of natural venulauon, passive heaung, and day-lighung.
MECHANICAL
Guest comfort, operaung costs and many global environmental impacts are all dependant on a hotels mechanical systems. Opumum results are
achieved when the em cient systems are chosen and designed to work in harmony with the other building systems and components.
WATER
Responsibiliues and opportuniues exist with all water that passes through a building and site. Economic and Environmental indicators favour the
lowest possible man-made changes to the natural hydrological-cycle.
WASTE
Construcuon and demoliuon acuviues contribute signicant volume to landlls and incinerators that could be avoided with proper management.
Diverung this waste can reduce disposal fees and transportauon consequences.
PRODUCTS & MATERIALS
Materials selected for sustainable buildings should have appropriate performance, durability and environmental properues. Material selecuon can
aect issues ranging from our planets resources to occupant comfort and health.
SITE
A hotels locauon aects commuung opuons, local ecosystems, building energy em ciency and much more. Proper site selecuon should be given
appropriate considerauon at the beginning of a project as it will aect many down-stream decisions.

vii Green Engage/Solutions Issued on February 1, 2011
Green Engage/Soluons for New Hotels is intended to
shape the design of more sustainable hotels, by looking
at a wide range of issues including water use, waste
management, products and materials, guest comfort,
and parcularly energy use.
Even though brand standards guide in the development
of a new hotel, there remain a number of decisions
to be made about the building and the systems to be
put inside it - decisions that can signicantly impact
the energy e ciency of the hotel, impacng not only
rst costs, but also the short and long term operang
costs of a property. The appendix of Green Engage/
Soluons has been developed to help hotels weigh the
choices which oen seem confusing or overly technical
and allow development teams to make the right design
choices for their building type and climate.
Obviously a hotel in Siberia has to consider dierent
factors than a hotel in Angua, and to address this
Green Engage/Soluons has a set of Energy Charts
which contain guidelines covering all aspects of hotel
design, providing a prescripve path for achieving
energy savings of up to 25% over typical new hotel
energy use. The predicted savings for each climate zone
are summarised to the right.
The appendix also contains Calculaon Sheets, which
show in detail the cost and savings of specic design
opons, such as one type of HVAC system over another,
in four dierent climate zones. These sheets, which are
based on the results of extensive energy modelling
(computer simulaon of hotel energy use), are designed
to allow those looking for even greater savings to quickly
and easily weigh up which opon makes the most sense.
Hot-Humid Climates
Of the more than 100 Acon Items outlined in Green
Engage/Soluons, the biggest energy saving measures in
this climate are improved insulaon, a dedicated central
outside air unit and demand venlaon.
Overall, a hotel in a hot humid climate can perform
between 15% and 25% beer than a modelled baseline
hotel.
Arid Climates
Of the more than 100 Acon Items outlined in Green
Engage/Soluons, the biggest energy saving measures in
this climate are improved insulaon, a dedicated central
outside air unit and demand venlaon.
Overall, a hotel in an arid climate can perform between
15% and 25% beer than a modelled baseline hotel.
Temperate Climates
Due to the variability of this climate, there are a wide
range of energy saving measures which can signicantly
reduce energy use, in parcular the use of economiser
mode and energy recovery.
Overall, a hotel in a temperate climate can perform
between 20% and 25% beer than a modelled baseline
hotel.
Cold-Alpine Climates
Of the more than 100 Acon Items outlined in Green
Engage/Soluons, the biggest energy saving measures in
this climate are improved glazing, improved insulaon,
demand venlaon, and economiser mode.
Overall, a hotel in a cold climate can perform between
20% and 25% beer than a modelled baseline hotel.

Making an exisng hotel more sustainable is obviously
very dierent from designing a sustainable hotel
from scratch. In most cases it isn't sensible to rip out
the windows or completely replace or redesign the
air condioning systems. Instead, you have to make
the most of what is already there. Or in some cases
make improvements to the stu that is about to be
replaced anyway (televisions, refrigerators, etc). Green
Engage/Soluons for Exisng Hotels is focused on
combining common sense and best pracce with fairly
minor improvements that, added together, can have a
signicant impact on how your hotel performs and your
boom line.
The appendix of Green Engage/Soluons has been
developed to help General Managers and their Green
Teams weigh the choices which oen seem confusing
or overly technical and allow them to make the right
choices for their hotel and climate. To do this, an energy
analysis of exisng hotels is included, which outlines the
improvement that an average IHG hotel can achieve
by going through the Green Engage/Soluons process.
This analysis was done by building an energy model
(a computer simulaon of a typical hotel) and using
actual IHG hotels energy usage data. Calculaon Sheets
have been developed for every Level 1 and Level 2
Prerequisite Acon. This allows hotel managers to look
at the cost and benet of these acons individually, as
well as look at the overall aect of reaching Level 1 or
Level 2 Cercaon on. These results are summarised to
the right.
Hot-Humid Climates
Level 1 Cercaon can reduce energy consumpon
by 24%. Level 2 Cercaon can reduce energy
consumpon by 25%.
Arid Climates
Level 1 Cercaon can reduce energy consumpon
by 22%. Level 2 Cercaon can reduce energy
consumpon by 23%.
Temperate Climates
Level 1 Cercaon can reduce energy consumpon
by 20%. Level 2 Cercaon can reduce energy
consumpon by 22%.
Cold-Alpine Climates
Level 1 Cercaon can reduce energy consumpon
by 17%. Level 2 Cercaon can reduce energy
consumpon by 19%.

The success of a sustainable building relies on both
sustainable design and sustainable operauons. Establishing
and maintaining an environment conducive to proper
operauons starts with building energy commissioning
where the intent of the building is documented along
with design decisions so that operaung personal can
make decisions consistent with the original system intent.
Sustainable operauons conunues through occupancy by
maintaining green housekeeping, facilitaung recycling,
educaung occupants and verifying and documenung
energy performance.
Operauonal measures secure the investments made
during the design phase. They are criucal to achieving
the payback that drove design decisions. However,
operauons relies on human behaviour, which is typically
harder to predict and control than mechanical systems.
A transparent and sustained management commitment
can help secure employee commitment towards
sustainable operauons.

Considerations:
New Hotels
All new hotels commiued to gaining Green Engage/
Soluuons cerucauon should ban smoking on the
property. As a disincenuve, the hotel should have a
policy of ning guests who disregard this policy.
Exisng Hotels
Hotels which currently have smoking areas should ensure
separauon from non-smoking areas through physical
barriers and separate HVAC systems. These properues
should develop a phase-out plan and run an educauon
program to inform guests of this change of policy.
Advantages:
Less odour migrauon; Beuer indoor air quality.
Disadvantages:
Potenual guest dissausfacuon in regions where indoor
smoking is acceptable
Other Relevant Action Groups:
O-03
Narrative:
Indoor air quality is crucial in achieving a healthy
environment. In many municipaliues, smoking is not
allowed in public places to protect the health of others. In
some areas of the world smoke-free hotels are the norm,
whereas in others hotel guest expectauons dictate that
smoking rooms are made available. The disadvantage of
allowing guests to smoke is that smoking in hotel rooms
creates discomfort for non-smoking guests. Smoking
rooms need more fresh air and venulauon than non-
smoking rooms, so there is also an increased energy use.
Where banning of smoking is not feasible, all designated
smoking areas should be separated with walls that go
up to structure and doors that close, and independent
venulauon systems so smoke cannot migrate to non-
smoking areas. The HVAC system must provide higher
exhaust and outdoor air rates in these rooms to dilute
paruculates. Room-type air condiuoning units should not
be used in smoking areas as they recycle the room air.

Narrative:
Many of the sustainable measures put in place by the
design and construcuon teams are only eecuve if they
are properly implemented by the sta and building
operators. Green housekeeping programs, sustainable
event management and general faciliues management
will all require iniual orientauon and on-going educauon.
Hotel sta that typically experience higher turnover
rates are oen the key posiuons carrying out the edicts
of a sustainability management plan. For this reason
comprehensive training plans with clear instrucuons
on how to implement sustainable strategies should be
developed along with orientauon and conunued training
schedules.
Sta should be introduced to the hotels sustainability
iniuauves to understand the purpose and goals of green
hotel management strategies. Oering incenuves for best
performance may prove to be an eecuve training tool.
If working with an internauonal sta, printed orientauon/
reference materials and training sessions should be
translated into the dominant nauve languages.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Newly opened hotels should train all sta about the
unique green features and develop a program to
disseminate this informauon to all future incoming sta.

Narrative:
Some of the tradiuonal cleaning products used in hotels
contain ingredients that are toxic or hazardous. Many
contain volaule organic compounds (VOCs) which again
can be toxic and also act as an irritant to sensiuve people.
The aim of green cleaning is to reduce the risk of chemical
exposure to janitorial sta along with guests at the hotel.
There are a range of levels of green cleaning that could be
implemented by a hotel operator.
Proper sta training and guest awareness are some of
the most cost eecuve means or conserving resources.
Sta should be encouraged to subsutute reusable
supplies for disposables as much as possible and trained
to understand the towel and sheet program.
Products should be compliant with a standard such as
that contained in the California Code of Regulauons which
sets VOC limits for a range of product groups. Another
standard is the Green Seal 37 standard which lists actual
products from a range of manufacturers.
The Carpet and Rug Insutute developed a voluntary
standard for tesung vacuum cleaners to ensure that
they work em ciency and contain the dust that they are
extracung from the carpet.
Considerations:
New Hotels
All housekeeping sta and procurement agents should be
trained to purchase or use green cleaning products.
Exisng Hotels
Most of the green products work as well as convenuonal
cleaning products but they may need to be used
dierently. A training schedule should be set up for sta
to ensure they are up to date with the products and
methods being used. This can also improve the health of
cleaning sta as well as reducing worker safety liability
issues.
Advantages:
Liule or no cost dierence when compared to convenuonal
cleaning methods; Could potenually make guests stay
more enjoyable due to beuer indoor environment; Safer
for both guests and sta.
Disadvantages:
Addiuonal training may be required for housekeeping
sta.

Other Relevant Action Groups:
O-02, O-06, G-01, P-01, P-03, P-04
Narrative:
Events are generally huge material and energy consumers
and produce large amounts of waste. Increasingly, groups
are favouring venues that oer sustainable management
pracuces for their events and meeungs. A comprehensive
green event oering, at a minimum, includes recycling
programs to handle packaging, event materials and food
& beverage waste. Event managers should also consider
green catering opuons by reducing use of disposable
wares, purchasing sustainable food (organic, local, fair
trade) and menu planning to reduce waste. Where
disposable materials must be used, preference should be
given to those with high recycled content and/or other
environmentally preferable characterisucs (non-toxic
inks, biodegradable/compostable, made from rapidly
renewable materials, cerued sustainably harvested,
produced with alternauve energy).
The exible nature of room populauon and use for events
requires dynamic designs and systems in order to avoid
excessively sized spaces and energy consumpuon. Event
spaces and meeung rooms should have mouon detectors
and dynamic monitoring to allow for fast adjustments of
environmental controls.

Narrative:
The hospitality industry is a large consumer of food and
beverage products through in-house restaurants, catering
and guest room services. By engaging suppliers through
purchasing agreements, sustainable food resource chains
are reinforced and stabilised.
Sustainable food and beverage sources include locally
produced, fairly traded and organic ingredients. Menu
planning reduces excess food waste and reects the
seasonally available ingredients. Materials are conserved
by oering opuons in bulk dispensers rather than
individual packages. Green restaurant programs validate
eorts to use environmentally responsible products.
Educauon of food service sta is crucial to ensuring that
policies are understood and properly implemented.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Kitchen equipment should be selected to allow for any
unique storage/staging needs for seasonal food use.
Consider including a greenhouse or sem ng aside site
area for gardens to oset catering needs. Consider
incorporaung a composung area near the kitchen for
local distribuuon or use on landscaping.
Exisng Hotels
Food service sta should be trained on green restaurant
management and food selecuon. Exisung contracts with
food suppliers should be adapted to include organic, local
and fair trade products. Local farms should be surveyed
to determine if local products can be subsututed. Food
donauon programs should be set up, where applicable.
Advantages:
Enhances brand image; Posiuve markeung tool; Provides
fresher, healthier food to guests.
Disadvantages:
Seasonal food supplies may be limited in some regions;
Organic food can be more expensive.

Narrative:
Sustainable business pracuces and corporate
responsibility is shaped by the relauonships formed with
suppliers and partners. Business partners should be
chosen based on the degree to which they support the
social and environmental goals adopted by IHG.
Hotels should look for opportuniues to work closely
with product and service providers to idenufy areas for
improvement. In areas where certain greener technologies
or services are limited, hotels should consider developing
agreements that foster improvements to locally available
products and businesses. Opportuniues might include:
Developing educauon and training programs with
local service contractors such as landscape or pest
management providers
Networking suppliers with local resources to drive
green market transformauon in local economies
The measures encouraged include:
Sourcing products which are responsible in their
manufacture, use and disposal
Reviewing all the products and services purchased
and idenufying where more responsible alternauves are
available.
Integrate sustainable criteria into your purchasing
policy and procedures
Encourage local businesses to source locally when
possible
Considerations:
New Hotels
Include sustainable products and pracuces in construcuon
documents or procurement contracts. Contractors and
building material suppliers with the most sustainable
business pracuces should be incenuvised or favoured.
Design and construcuon teams should carefully assess
aordable products and services available in the area
and idenufy gaps in availability. Hotels should consider
creaung alliances throughout the IHG brand to further
leverage inuence.
Exisng Hotels
Current and future service and supply contracts should be
reviewed and revised for sustainable business pracuces
as they are renewed. Purchases for maintenance and
renovauons should be massed to increase product
transformauon potenual
Advantages:
Requiring partners to review their pracuces will increase
quality checks and accountability; Creates posiuve
market change in some underserved areas; Standard
specicauons increase product/service selecuons and
reduce cost/need for customisauon.
Disadvantages:
Product and service availability may be limited in some
areas and may increase lead umes; Increased learning
curve may increase costs; Requires more eort/input

Narrative:
The energy em ciency of a building is dependant not
only on the various mechanical and electrical systems
that are in place, but how these systems are used by
the occupants. Improving building systems operauons is
oen a fast, low-cost way to signicantly reduce energy
consumpuon. Development of a sequence of operauons
and building operaung plan forces hotel operators to
describe and understand how various systems work and
interact. Combined with a preventauve maintenance
program, this ensures than systems are operaung the
way they were designed to and allows potenual problems
and inem ciencies to be idenued and corrected.
IHGs Energy Best Management Pracuces (BMPs)
Document contains a comprehensive list of strategies for
improving operauonal energy em ciency.
Considerations:
New Hotels
A sequence of operauons and building operaung plan
are developed during construcuon documentauon, and
should be stored and understood by hotel management.
The preventauve maintenance program should be
adopted as soon as the hotel is occupied.
Exisng Hotels
If the hotel does not have a sequence of operauons,
building operaung plan, or systems narrauve, these can
be draed using the templates below.
Advantages:
Potenually large energy savings for liule capital
investment; Improved understanding of the building
systems can improve condiuons for workers and guests;
Preventauve maintenance reduces cost and downume
associated with the failure of mechanical and electrical
equipment.
Disadvantages:

Narrative:
Metering equipment and other consumpuon
measurement procedures should be used to quanufy
system performance and energy. Hotels shall be required
to keep accurate documented records and measurements
of all energy consumpuon.
The metering procedures also enable vericauon of the
performance of credited acuons over ume to ensure

and to assist in energy use evaluauon for future hotels.
Sites can be compared against each other to idenufy the
eecuveness of credited acuons implemented at one
hotel versus another.
Sub-metering can be installed for lighung, boilers, steam,
gas, power, water piping and other uuliues.
Considerations:
New Hotels
The hotel owner needs to decide what to do with the
metering data before installauon. A meter at the source
level (a meter for the enure building from the uulity)
should always be installed. Feedback on energy and
water usage should be provided through the Hotels
Green Engage program. Meters should be installed for a
lifeume above 20 years.
Exisng Hotels
In exisung hotels, idenufying and targeung areas of high
consumpuon and greatest potenual for energy savings
will reduce costs of a new metering system. Exisung
meters shall be regularly checked to ensure calibrauon
within manufacturers tolerances and intervals. This
data shall be entered into an online monitoring and

against previous years and compare performance with
other hotels. Hotels shall be required to keep accurate
documented records and measurements of all energy
consumpuon for a minimum of ve years for vericauon
of past online entries.
All installed meters must be calibrated to manufacturers
requirements and be included as part of a documented
equipment maintenance schedule. Other fuel

14 Green Engage/Solutions Issued on February 1, 2011
Narrative:
Hotel energy management is about tracking energy
performance and idenufying opportuniues for
improvement. This relates not only to past performance
but also how current performance compares with other
buildings of a similar type. A concise and standardized
system of energy monitoring and performance evaluauon
is important to allow this to happen.
Many of the systems designed into a project oer a
signicant return on investment; however, this can
only be ensured if the systems are being monitored for
acceptable performance. Environmental targets should
be clearly detailed in an Environmental Management
Plan. Correcuve acuons should be developed for sta to
follow when targets or benchmarks are not met.
Projects should be metered to allow for isolauon of
system performance. Faciliues managers should develop
monitoring plans that include performance comparisons
against projected savings and/or similar building type
databases. When goals are not met, measurable short
and long term targets for improvement should be
established.
There are many areas with environmental standards well
below others. If developing projects in one of these areas
managers should work with IHG and the local community
to improve environmental standards in the local area.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Set performance benchmarks during design using
expectauons from energy models or building databases.
This may be done by using energy models to calculate
predicted energy performance and then comparing
this with a baseline buildings energy performance to
the latest version of ASHRAE 90.1 (2007) Appendix G
standards. The energy improvement of the proposed
building against the baseline building can be used to
calculate achievement of minimum performance targets.
Upon compleuon and occupancy, monitoring plans and
enrolment in the Green Measure online system will help
determine if projects are meeung these goals. Designing
building management systems or system sub-metering
will assist data collecuon.
Exisng Hotels
Metered and measured energy consumpuon data shall
be entered into Green Measure, which benchmarks this
data against hotels across the IHG poruolio and calculates
whether the hotel meets Green Engage/Soluuonss
minimum performance requirements. It also allows
managers to track performance against a number of
other parameters including historical trends and energy
consumed per guest night.
Hotels that do not meet the minimum requirements may
consider implemenung other Green Engage/Soluuons
acuon groups to improve performance. These may
include capital improvements outlined in the Energy,
Building Envelope or Mechanical secuons, or operauonal
improvements found in the Operauons & Processes
secuon.
Advantages:
Decreased operaung costs; Increased performance/
longevity of equipment.
Disadvantages:
Increased costs of metering equipment.

1 Start Commissioning in Mid-Design Phase
Total Available Points 4 3
Narrative:
The commissioning process is a series of steps that
occur during both the design and construcuon life of a
building and even following occupancy. The aim of this
process is to ensure rstly that buildings are designed
in a way that enables them to be commissionable and
meet the building owners requirements for the building.
Addiuonally, commissioning ensures that a buildings
energy consuming systems are purchased, installed and
are operaung as the designer intended them to. The
commissioning process can have a signicant impact on
the whole life energy of a building. The embodied energy
associated with construcung a building are small when
compared with the operauonal energy and embodied
energy required to replace, upgrade and modify interiors
of buildings throughout their life. This is parucularly
relevant to hotel resorts because they undergo re-ts
approximately every eight years, due to conunued wear
on the building interiors.
Implemenung commissioning steps into the early stages
of a hotel life can idenufy and prevent energy waste over
the remainder of its life.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Considerauon should be given to the uming of
commissioning in construcuon. Commissioning realises
greatest savings and catches the most system deciencies
when the process is started early. NOTE: The LEED raung
system has specic requirements for commissioning
which are ume sensiuve starung in mid design.
Exisng Hotels
Retro-commissioning can provide immense savings for
exisung faciliues whether construcuon, renovauons or
upgrades are scheduled. Once retro-commissioning has
been complete, the resulung documentauon can be used
annually to re-check systems performance and conunued
savings and em cient operauon.
Advantages:
Energy savings or preventauve energy losses; Reducuon
in maintenance or replacement costs; Baseline
documentauon for building operauon.
Disadvantages:
Addiuonal cost for third party commissioning agent;
Percepuon the commissioning is dim cult and hard to
schedule.

Narrative:
Building Management Systems (BMSs) are commonly
employed in modern hotels to allow centralized
monitoring and control of the buildings mechanical and
electrical systems. Sensors and actuators are incorporated
into the venulauon, lighung, power, heaung, cooling, hot
water, security and re systems and linked to a centralized
computer. From there, soware programs are used to
monitor and control the systems according to the desired
parameters . This Direct Digital Control (DDC) technology
enables building management systems to co-operate on
programmed schedules and to use weather condiuons to
predicauvely maintain desired thermal comfort, lighung,
and services (re, security, etc) while minimising energy
consumpuon. DDC can alert sta to faulty equipment
or out-of-tolerance condiuons with the use of system
alarms allowing maintenance work to be carried out
before any serious guest disrupuon or remedial costs
occur. Alternauvely, stand alone controllers have limited
interconnecuvity and control exibility.
Considerations:
New Hotels
A system can be installed in hotels to recognise when
guests leave their room and save energy during these
umes. A central monitoring system can be installed
as stand alone on a room by room basis, but are more
eecuve, parucularly for larger hotels, when they
report back to a central locauon. This can enable sta
to monitor the status of rooms including occupancy,
energy consumpuon, maintenance issues (such as faulty
equipment), security issues and can be used to generate
trends of room usage stausucs that can be useful in future
planning for housekeeping, maintenance and other sta.
Automated adjustments could be made for heaung and
cooling when guests check in and out.
Exisng Hotels
Wireless BMS systems are available for installauon on
selecuve equipment at exisung faciliues. These systems
are expensive to install but exible.
Advantages:
Can save a signicant amount of energy (greater than
20%); Allows for trending and long term monitoring of
hotel use which can assist in planning for maintenance,
future expansion and reducing costs; Maintains opumum
environment for guests; Wireless systems can be used in
exible conference rooms/exhibiuon halls.
Disadvantages:
Cost premium depending on the level of sophisucauon;
Maintenance sta may be hesitant to adopt system;
Mouon sensors may be perceived as invasive by guests.

Narrative:
Popular in Europe and Asia, these systems are now
starung to appear in the US market. The systems recognise
when guests leave their rooms and save energy during
these umes. The system can detect Occupied and
Unoccupied modes by using either mouon detectors or
a key card holder at the door that the guests leave their
keys in when they are in the room.
The following sequence of operauons could be applicable
dependant on how advanced the installed guest room
control system is.
Guest removes card and exits room or is no longer
detected by mouon sensor.
Aer a predened period (eg 1 minute), room goes into
Unoccupied mode.
Electrical outlets power down with the excepuon of
one or two designated for charging guest laptops, mobile
phones, etc.
Lighung turns o which saves electrical power and also
reduces unwanted heat in the room.
Curtains could close to cut out solar gains heaung up
the room.
HVAC either turns o or sets back the temperature
control of the room. Outdoor air temperature sensors
can be used to help make this decision.
Outside air ow to the room and exhaust air ow from
the bathroom can damper down.
Noucauon of empty room goes back to central
system.
Display outside of door can noufy housekeeping sta
that the room is now unoccupied if desired.
When guest returns, the opposite happens.
These systems can be installed as stand alone on a room
by room basis, but are more eecuve, parucularly for
larger hotels, when they report back to a central locauon.
This can enable sta to monitor the status of rooms
including occupancy, energy consumpuon, maintenance
issues (such as faulty equipment), and can be used to
generate trends of room usage stausucs that can be
useful in future planning for housekeeping, maintenance
and other sta.
Considerations:
New Hotels
The em ciency of the system is maximised by linking it to
lighung, electrical, HVAC and metering systems.
Exisng Hotels
As this links with so many systems, it is most easily
implemented early in the design phase and may be
dim cult to retrot to exisung hotels.
Advantages:
Can save a signicant amount of energy some sources
say this could be in excess of 20%; Allows for trending
and long term monitoring of hotel use which can assist in
planning for maintenance and reducing costs.
Disadvantages:
Cost premium somewhere in the order of $400 per
room depending on the level of sophisucauon; Mouon
sensors may be perceived as invasive by guests.

Narrative:
Pipe insulauon reduces heat loss or heat gain in pipes.
Solar thermal captures the suns energy for use in space
heaung and domesuc hot water. Low, medium and high
temperature systems can be selected to meet the end-
use requirements. Boilers should operate with electronic
control systems monitoring oxygen to minimise excess
air. Wherever possible traps shall be purchased within
the steam-using devices, with all other traps and drip leg
traps provided as necessary in the piping design. Water
cooling chillers reject heat (compressor heat) through its
cooling towers. The heat could be recovered and used
for domesuc hot water, which could potenually lead
to energy savings. Two types of chiller heat recovery
units are condensers (single and split) and templiers.
A single condenser heat recovery chiller is selected
to operate exiung contender water at 105F - 110F.
Split loop units use one loop to reject heat to a cooling
tower, while the other loop is used to collect heat for the
building. Templiers can recover low grade heat from the
condenser (centrifugal or reciprocaung compressor) and
convert it to high grade heat (140F - 160F).
Considerations:
New Hotels
Use insulauon wrap, breglass insulauon strips, or
polyethylene or neoprene foam pipe sleeves around
pipes. Blowdown heat recovery systems should be
considered to improve boiler em ciency. Solar collectors
should be south facing and inclined to the azimuth
angle of the site. Oen these sighung condiuons can
be fullled in a locauon that is also prominently visible.
Heat recovery is recommended for buildings (especially
hotels) with balanced cooling and heat loads (24 hour hot
water buildings, total installed heat rejecuon capacity of
water-cooled systems exceeds 6 million Btu/h and design
service water heaung load exceeds 1 million Btu/h).
Exisng Hotels
Replacing or upgrading an exisung boiler is a cost eecuve
measure to reducing water heaung costs. Repairing leaks,
installauon of blowdown heat recovery systems and
insulaung the boilers are other em ciency improvement
measures. Heat recovery units could be retroued.
Advantages:
Pipe insulauon signicantly reduces heaung and cooling
costs; Em cient boiler controls can reduce both energy
and water consumpuon; Solar thermal is an aordable,
em cient renewable technology which requires minimal
maintenance and can replace or reduce the need for
boiler or water heaters; Chiller heat recovery saves
heaung energy and can be ued onto exisung water
cooled chiller plants.
Disadvantages:
Solar thermal requires roof area and has a cost premium
(incenuves are usually available); Chiller heat recovery
increases complexity in chiller and increases cost; When
recovering heat, the chillers performance may decrease.

Narrative:
Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs) are about 60%
more em cient than the standard incandescent bulbs
and available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colour
temperatures to suit dierent applicauons. The overall
quality of CFLs has also increased: however, special care
should be taken when selecung CFLs as the quality and
performance varies. Like linear uorescent, CFLs have
ballasts and while they are predominantly non-dimmable
ballasts, dimmable CFLs are also available. Opumised
xture design, uulising a good balance of uplighung
and downlighung, is important to eliminate glare and
enhance visual acuity.
A smaller version of the compact uorescent, cold cathode
CFLs are becoming more popular for accent lighung and
elevator lighung in many hotels. They do not work well
for general illuminauon, but have very low em cacies and
come in a number of dierent colours.
There are many dierent incenuves for CFLs in new
and retrot applicauons and they vary widely by state.
Federal incenuves and tax credits are also available. For
more informauon visit: www.dsireusa.org.
LEDs boast em ciencies exceeding those of CFLs, however
at present are not sum ciently aordable or exible in
use to jusufy general use. However, they are suitable in
instances such as exit lighung and reading lamps.
Considerations:
New Hotels
The low capital costs and energy savings produced by
CFLs jusufy their installauon for all general lighung. LEDs
should be considered for exit signs and other specialised
uses. Individual task lighung, either CFLs or LEDs, can also
be used to supplement the ambient lighung. Lighung
power densiues can be further reduced through em cient
xture design and uulisauon of natural lighung.
Exisng Hotels
All incandescent bulbs should be replaced with CFLs.
Fixture design should be reevaluated in all refurbishments
to maximise the overall lighung em ciency.
Advantages:
Fluorescent lights have longer life than standard
incandescent bulbs (approximately 15,000 hours);
Available in all sorts of shapes, sizes, colour temperatures,
and dimming applicauons; Low capital costs and very
short payback (typically less than 2 years); Opumised
xture design can improve indoor environmental quality.
Disadvantages:
Higher costs than standard incandescent and very high
cost for dimming applicauons; CFLs contain mercury, a
hazardous material.

Narrative:
Hotels typically waste signicant energy unnecessarily
lighung areas that either are already receiving adequate
natural daylight or are unoccupied. The installauon
of daylight occupancy and sensors and controls can
eliminate this wastage and reduce hotel operaung costs.
Daylighung controls should be integrated with a building
envelope design that maximises daylighung. These
systems are used to reduce arucial lighung levels when
adequate daylighung is available, through either on-o
or dimming control of perimeter lights.
Occupancy sensors can also be used to automaucally shut
o lighung to unoccupied spaces. These controls are
parucularly eecuve for hotels, which typically have high
space occupancy diversity as people travel between their
rooms and various acuviues. Occupancy sensors can be
used in conjuncuon with manual overrides to provide for
high occupant control while maintaining a high degree of
energy em ciency
Considerations:
New Hotels
The use of photosensors in perimeter public spaces
will automaucally adjust light levels and reduce energy
consumpuon, but dimming controls and ballasts are
more expensive and will oen double the cost of the
ballast compared to a convenuonal system. Simple on-
o systems typically have a beuer rate of return than
dimming systems.
Layout and coverage pauern are criucal to proper
occupancy control system funcuonality. A combinauon of
scheduling devices and occupancy sensors can be used
to eecuvely limit the number of lights on aer regularly
occupied hours in om ce and mulu-occupancy spaces.
Types of occupancy sensors available including infrared,
ultra-sonic, radio frequency, and dual technologies.
Exisng Hotels
Daylight controls are best used on the perimeter of a
hotel near windows. Both daylighung and occupancy
controls may be incorporated into exisung systems but
can have a higher cost and increase system complexity.
Advantages:
Signicant energy savings by reducing arucial lighung
levels, oen with a high return on investment; More
uniform illuminauon level; Reduced cooling load due to
arucial light reducuon.
Disadvantages:
Require proper placement of sensors and maintenance of
systems to ensure lights do not switch o when daylight
levels are too low or when a space is occupied.

Narrative:
Light polluuon is the result of excessive and inem cient
use of arucial lighung. Forms of polluuon include light
trespass, over-illuminauon, glare, and sky glow. One of
the main causes of light polluuon is over-illuminauon.
For this reason, exterior illuminance levels should be
designed to the IESNA standards. Up to 30-40% of
exterior light might be cast into the night sky or o your
site boundary.
The selecuon of full cut o xtures prevents light being
unnecessarily emiued above the horizontal plane. This
eliminauon of direct glare will improve site security by
improving visual acuity. In addiuon to proper illuminance
lighung controls should be uulised to ensure interior
lighung is not on during unoccupied hours, allowing light
from windows to trespass beyond the buildings site.
Proper design could allow for the use of lower wauage
lamps to produce the desired illuminauon level.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Design teams should consider the reducuon of the
density of facade lighung, Up lighung landscaping and
excessive parking lighung. A simple strategy is to have
use low intensity light sources and closer intervals to
most accurately direct the illuminauon in the required
area. This strategy will both reduce the amount of energy
consumed for unnecessary light and reduce the amount
of light trespass on to adjacent properues
Exisng Hotels
The removal and relocauon of permanent exterior
luminaires can be costly and should deferred unul a
complete renovauon is scheduled. Operators should
however, consider a power density calculauon to idenufy
opportuniues for energy savings and the reducuon
of light trespass. For most exisung hotels, signicant
savings can be found in relamping xtures from a 400W
to a 250W High Pressure Sodium (PS) or Metal Halide
(MH) with aecung safety or security.
Advantages:
Energy savings from eliminaung wasted light that does
not serve the useful purpose intended.
Disadvantages:
A common misconcepuon is that if the light source is not
visible, the area is not bright enough for the intended
task. Lighung design must balance measured results with
percepuon.

Narrative:
Alternauve/renewable energy is non-tradiuonal fuel
sources (tradiuonal fuel = coal, oil, etc) that do not use
up natural resources. Tradiuonal alternauve fuels for a
building are wind, solar, biomass and geothermal.
Solar power uses the suns direct and diuse radiauon
to acuvely generate electricity by means of photovoltaic
(PV) cell. The three main types of PV cells currently in
use are Monocrystalline, (presently most em cient),
polycrystalline and thin lm (cheapest but least em cient).
PVs have been developed to integrate into buildings
(BIPV) and some thin lm PVs are translucent and could
act as windows, while also generaung energy.
Wind power can be generated using small horizontal or
verucal axis wind turbines, which can be integrated into
the hotel structure or located elsewhere on the site.
Wind turbines are only feasible on sites with signicant
wind resources, and operate at much lower em ciency in
urban sem ngs.
A geothermal power system oers the opportunity to
use the Earths natural thermal energy, stored in hot or
molten rock several kilometres below the surface, to
generate heat and or electricity.
Cogeneraon (cogen) is the simultaneous producuon
of heat and power from one fuel source. Electricity is
generated by an engine spinning a generator. Waste
heat from the engine is captured and used to heat water.
Depending on the system uulised, the em ciency of
generauon may range from 24% to 40%. Aer waste heat
is captured, the total em ciency of the process may range
from 50% to 70% or greater. The goal of cogenerauon is
to produce electricity and heat at a lower cost per unit
and carbon footprint than can be achieved by purchasing
electricity and natural gas respecuvely.
Biomass encompasses an array of fuels including,
plant mauer, organic waste and sewage. Unlike many
renewable energy technologies, biomass energy can be
stored and consumed upon demand. Biomass can be
converted to electricity and heat through cogenerauon,
anaerobic digesuon, gasicauon and pyrolysis.
A ground source heat pump (GSHP) system uses
the earth as a thermal bauery to heat and/or cool
the building at considerably higher em ciency than
convenuonal heaung and cooling systems. A typical
GSHP consists of a series of buried pipe loops acung as
a closed loop ground heat exchanger, connected to a
number of reversible heat pumps. When compared to a
convenuonal water-cooled refrigerant circuit, the ground
loop performs the funcuon of the condenser loop and
heat rejecuon plant, but rejects heat from the building to
the ground rather than the atmosphere. Such a system
also works in reverse in winter, taking the place of a boiler
to absorb heat from the ground to heat the building.
Incenuves for such systems are available in some areas.
See: www.geoexchange.org/incenuves/incenuves
A thermal energy storage system is used to reduce a
buildings peak air condiuoning load. Chillers run during
o-peak hours to cool a storage tank of water or ice.
During peak hours, part of the cooling demand is met
by circulaung uid through the storage tank, reducing
E-12 Low Energy Systems
the electrical demand and required cooling capacity of
the chiller. This can reduce the strain on the electrical
grid and can produce considerable savings under some
electric pricing structures, such as Time of Use rates.
While higher chiller em ciencies can be achieved due to
lower outdoor temperatures at night, any savings are
usually oset by system inem ciencies especially in ice
storage.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Alternauve energy feasibility is dependent on site locauon.
For wind, anemometers should be installed at least a year
before construcuon to test wind resources at the actual
site. Small horizontal axis turbines do not integrate well
within urban environments, however there are several
types of verucal axis turbines that have been made and
can be mounted in parking lots, on roofs, or integrated
in the faade. Solar is not as locauon dependant but
payback will be beuer in areas with high solar radiauon
values. Geothermal power generauon is only appropriate
on sites which have high levels of geothermal acuvity.
Cogenerauon should be considered where there is a
signicant heat load access to natural gas or biomass.
The primary use for cogen heat in a hotel is space heaung
and cooling. Heaung can be achieved through hot water
systems such as variable air volume with reheat. Cooling
can uulise heat in an absorpuon chiller. Viability of cogen
systems is highly dependent on primary fuel costs and the
cost of electricity from the local uulity grid. The ability to
use all recovered heat to displace heaung energy is also
very important to the system economics.
GSHPs can be an em cient approach for providing heaung
and cooling for a larger building with a high cost of
electricity. Considerauon should be given to ensure
heaung and cooling demands are equal to within 20%,
or the imbalance in heat ow will cause performance to
degrade over ume.

Thermal storage tanks are relauvely inexpensive and
compact. This system is most eecuve when there is a
high peak cooling demand and low o-peak demand.
This is not a typical hotel pauern. The savings depends
on the electricity pricing structure, but may be as high
as 10%.
Exisng Hotels
Solar and wind power can be added to addiuonal faciliues.
A geothermal system is costly and requires alterauons to
exisung electrical and mechanical systems.
Cogen is not recommended for exisung faciliues without
access to natural gas or biomass. If the exisung boiler
systems and layout of the hotel permits easy replacement
then cogen might be advantageous and reduce heaung
costs.
Ground source heat pump systems are costly to install in
exisung hotels as excavauon of a signicant amount of
land is necessary. They may also make exisung boilers
and chillers redundant.
Some chillers can support the addiuon of a water-based
thermal energy storage system, though there will be
addiuonal space requirements, temperature issues, and
working uid issues.
Advantages:
Renewable energy systems are a highly visible signs of
sustainability; Can reduce operaung costs through energy
generauon; May qualify for signicant incenuves.
Biomass and cogen plants can be shut down during
periods of low energy demand, producing a auer
electrical demand curve that can benet uuliues and lead
to decreased rate structures; Can be used as a primary
source of energy during a power outage.
Ground source heat pumps can deliver good energy
savings; Can eliminate the need for cooling towers;
Relauvely low maintenance.
Thermal energy storage can lower capital costs due to
smaller sized chiller; Lower energy costs under some rate
structures.
Disadvantages:
In most cases renewables do not generate a viable
payback scenario to make them economically feasible.
Biomass and cogen plants create a signicant amount of
noise and would require sound auenuauon if placed in
the development district; Requires a reliable fuel source.
GSHPs can cost up to $1000 per ton of cooling and do not
work well in climates where the heaung load does not
balance the cooling load.
Capital cost of thermal energy storage tank may oset
any savings.

The building envelope is used to maintain occupant
comfort and regulate indoor environmental quality. The
envelope consists of roofs, walls, windows, doors and
oors.
In general, the following auributes should be considered
for each climate zone:
Arid
Materials with high thermal mass are favoured, along
with external insulauon. Concrete, masonry and adobe
are all suitable materials. Adequate thermal mass will
absorb solar heat during the day and release the heat
at night. Finishes with high reecuvity and wall shading
should be used to reduce solar gains. Use plants and
other devices for external shading.
Hot-Humid
Materials with low thermal mass are favoured. In some
cases, masonry is used because of its durability. High
reecuvity materials are suitable. Use plants and other
devices to shade the building.
Temperate
Materials and construcuon vary for specic climate
condiuons and heaung/cooling strategy.
Cold-Alpine
Generally, a convenuonally heated building should not
have high thermal mass, as this can increase the ume
required to meet thermal comfort condiuons. However
if solar heaung will be used, a high thermal mass can
be advantageous. Envelopes with low inltrauon and
opumised insulauon are very eecuve for this climate.

Narrative:
Windows provide a visual connecuon with the outdoors,
natural light and solar heaung. Opumising glazing
materials and window design can have a signicant
impact on increasing building energy performance.
Use of low-E coaungs and double-paned windows can
improve glazing thermal performance. A Low-E coaung
is a metal lm, which reduces the emissivity of glass (or
the E in low-E), and thus the amount of heat that is lost
or gained (transmission). Windows manufactured with
Low-E coaungs typically cost 10%15% more than regular
windows, but reduce energy transmission through a
window by 30%50%.
The size and orientauon of windows must also be
considered. Typical window to wall rauos range from
20% to 50% and should be opumised for locauon.
Shading strategies should be considered in the design
process. Opumally designed shading will allow sunlight
penetrauon during heaung periods and block it during
cooling periods.
To maximise energy savings, opumised daylighung design
should be combined with photo sensors linked to the
arucial lighung in the building. The generally accepted
goal for daylight, which is dened by the BRE and the
USGBC, is to design for 75% of regularly occupied spaces
to achieve 25 footcandles (250 lux) of illuminauon from
daylight on the task plane.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Low-E, double glazed windows may be applied to an enure
hotel or to specic orientauons. This is most benecial in
extreme climates and in guest rooms with large windows.
The shading design will depend on climate, lautude and
building layout. Shade planung should be considered
Exisng Hotels
Replacement of exisung windows should be considered
when remodelling exisung hotels 30 years or older.
Installauon of shading devices in exisung hotels is costly
and generally only appropriate in refurbishments. Interior
shading such as curtains can be used in other cases
Advantages:
Improved comfort and indoor environmental quality due
to reduced solar heat gain and greater access to natural
light; Reduces heaung and cooling equipment sizes along
with running costs.
Disadvantages:
Higher cost premium; Reduces useful winter solar heat.
Shading may be challenging to incorporate into some
architectural schemes.

Narrative:
The faade design of a building not only determines its
external appearance, but can also have a large impact on
energy consumpuon. Em cient design is dependent on a
number of factors, including climate and the buildings
mechanical systems.
Through analysis of energy savings and costs, wall
insulauon can be opumised for any building and climate.
Generally more insulauon is desirable in climates
with extreme temperatures: hot, cold, or both. In
cold climates, insulauon reduces heaung costs. In hot
climates, it minimises air condiuoning costs. In temperate
climates where natural venulauon is appropriate, too
much insulauon may increase energy costs. Therefore,
opumisauon of insulauon should be performed on a
climate by climate basis.
Thermally broken faade details can also be used, typically
in cold climates, to reduce heat ow. A piece of insulaung
material is used to separate interior and exterior details,
for example aluminium spacers in glass panels, thereby
reducing heat ow across the panel.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Climate must be considered when designing faades. In
very cold climates, well insulated faades with thermally
broken details are most appropriate. In hot, arid
climates, green faades should be considered. In each
case, the buildings faade and mechanical systems must
be considered together.
Exisng Hotels
Retrom ngof adierent faadesystemis onlyappropriate
if a major refurbishment is being undertaken, and the
building is greater than 30 years old . Installauon of
insulauon in exisung buildings is also far less cost eecuve
than for new construcuon.
Advantages:
Decreases energy losses through the building envelope;
Maintains comfortable interior wall surfaces for
occupants by reducing radiant temperatures; Using
appropriate insulauon levels and applying vapour
barriers to the warm side of the insulauon reduces the
potenual for moisture damage; Increasing insulauon can
reduce heaung and cooling plant and equipment sizes;
Green faades lter air, provide natural cooling and are
visually pleasing; Double faades can reduce building
heaung loads and improve air quality by introducing
more outside air.
Disadvantages:
Increasing faade thermal performance above stringent
energy code requirements is only appropriate in some
climates and does not necessarily have a high return on
investment; Innovauve facades have high installauon
costs and long payback periods; Double faades only
suitable with parucular air condiuoning systems.

Narrative:
The term heat island refers to urban air and surface
temperatures that are higher than nearby rural areas,
caused by the high density of dark roofs and paving that
absorb heat. The elevated temperature associated with
heat island eect leads to increased building cooling
loads.
A roof with high solar reecuvity, typically white in
colour, is called a cool roof, and can be used to reduce
heat island eect. Reecuve cool roofs can reduce roof
surface temperatures by up to 100F. This will in turn
lower the cooling energy used by a building. Another
benet of the cool roof is that the lower temperature
will cause less expansion and contracuon of the roof
materials, extending their useful life.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Hotels located in urban areas are most likely to be
impacted by heat island eect. Cool roong systems may
oer signicant benets in terms of comfort and cost.
Packaged rooop air condiuoners will operate more
em ciently on a cool roof than on a tradiuonal roof.
Exisng Hotels
Hotels in temperate and hot climates, especially in urban
areas, should consider a cool roof when roof replacement
is being done.
Advantages:
Reduces roong replacement costs due to long life
material; Lowers HVAC system energy consumpuon,
thereby saving money; Reduces heat island eect in ciues
and suburbs; Reduces roong material sent to landlls;
Reduces air polluuon and smog formauon due to reduced
roof temperature and heat island eect.
Disadvantages:
35% to 50% of reectance on a cool roof can be lost if the
roof is not kept clean from dirt. Maintenance is needed
every few months to keep at design condiuon; Cool roof
at the Podium level may reect an undesirable level of
light up towards the guest rooms.

Narrative:
Inltrauon of untreated outdoor air to indoor spaces
occurs when a buildings indoor pressure is less than the
outdoor air pressure. This causes outdoor air to leak in
the building, via cracks around doors and windows and
even through exterior walls.
This outdoor air has not been condiuoned or dehumidied,
resulung in uncomfortable temperatures and humidity
levels. If the outdoor air is humid, condensauon can
form on cold surfaces. This can cause mildew and other
problems. Unltered outdoor air coming can also carry
paruculates and dirt.
To minimise inltrauon, the ltered outdoor air brought
into the building must be supplied to create a posiuvely
pressurised building. This will cause air to push out of
the building rather than in. Addiuonally, the construcuon
of the building should be weather ught, using well-built
doors and windows with weather-stripping around
them.
For larger resorts with high square footage, building
pressurisauon controls can be used in conjuncuon with a
building management system. The pressure sensors will
report when pressure has fallen below the acceptable
levels and the BMS relays to the air-handling unit to
supply more condiuoned air, thus increasing the pressure
and avoiding inltrauon.
Considerations:
New Hotels
All new hotels should be built with construcuon materials
that minimise inltrauon and should be posiuvely
pressurised using a mechanical system.
Exisng Hotels
Weather stripping should be installed on exisung doors
and windows, and all cracks and building envelope
failures should be repaired.
Advantages:
Indoor environment is healthier; Energy costs are lower
because systems are not loaded by uncondiuoned air.
Disadvantages:
Building commissioning is required to ensure correct
pressurisauon is being achieved.

Narrative:
Noise is dened as being unwanted sound. It has the
ability to disturb sleep and cause stress. In general, noise
in buildings comes from 3 sources:
(a) environmental (tram c, adjacent acuviues, construcuon
etc)
(b) building operauon (noise from MEP services)
(c) occupauonal (from human acuvity).
The combinauon of noise from all of these sources must
be appropriately miugated and balanced to achieve
success in hotel design. This requires an integrated
design approach.
The criteria and metrics vary between spaces based on
funcuon (bedrooms, lounges, om ces, spas etc).
Considerations:
New Hotels
Appropriate shell and core, wall, oor and facade
acousuc performance should be considered. Venulauon
approach should also be considered. Successful acousuc
design is achieved by separate noise producing spaces
(mechanical rooms, kitchen, elevators, garbage and
laundry shoots etc) from quiet spaces (bedrooms,
lounges etc) horizontally and verucally.
Exisng Hotels
Acousuc issues should be considered during major
refurbishments or retrots.
Advantages:

for guests and sta.
Disadvantages:

determine the correct HVAC systems and accredited
acuons to use for a new hotel, it is recommended that
an energy audit of an exisung similar hotel in the same

Narrative:
Outdoor air in hotel rooms is oen delivered to hotel
rooms using through the wall air condiuoning units.
These units are oen not well-equipped to handle a
high heat load, someumes resulung in excess humidity,
mould, and poor air quality.
Supplying the outdoor air to hotel rooms through
a central system allows for beuer control over the
temperature, humidity and amount of outdoor air to
each room, creaung a more comfortable environment. A
central unit allows for ease in maintenance and creates
fewer disrupuons in guest rooms. It also controls building
pressurisauon, which can help prevent inltrauon.
If the hotel has a building management system, then
demand venulauon may also be implemented to reduce
venulauon rates when a room is unoccupied by use of a
control system and CO2 sensors. This can produce energy
savings of approximately 10%.
Displacement venulauon supplies air at low levels
and uses the natural buoyancy of air to raise heat and
contaminants to the exhaust at the top of the room.
Supply air can reduce cooling, heaung and fan energy
consumpuon by supplying air from an underoor plenum
or mechanical chase at low velocity, at a temperature
closer to the desired room temperature, compared with
convenuonal overhead systems.
A minimum indoor air quality must be provided for all
occupants - sta and guests. ASHRAE Standard 62.1-
2007 mandates the minimum venulauon rates for new
hotels. Exisung hotels must meet these standards or
provide at least 10 cfm per person.

the central venulauon unit should be used instead.
Exisng Hotels
Installauon of operable windows and A/C lockouts should
be considered in rooms where the climate is suitable.
Conversion of larger areas such as foyers to natural
venulauon/mixed mode operauon can be complex and
costly and would typically only be undertaken as part of a
redevelopment/redesign.
Advantages:
Maximises venulauon air; No energy use; Guests will feel
more connected with the outdoors.
Disadvantages:
Added costs of operable windows and A/C lockout

Narrative:
To save energy, modern air condiuoned buildings
typically re-circulate used room air, which can diminish
indoor air quality and can aect occupant comfort and
producuvity. Using natural venulauon in appropriate
weather can reduce building energy use and improve
occupant comfort. Typically, natural venulauon can be
used to venulate up to around 6 metres (18 feet) depth
from a window, or a oor plate depth of up to 12 metres
(40 feet) for cross venulauon.
In summer months the temperature dierence between
inside and outside will be small and very liule cooling
eecuveness will be available. Eorts should therefore be
made to minimise heat gains to the building through:
Shading, Light shelves / natural daylighung
Arucial lighung controls
Increased insulauon
High em ciency glazing
Orientauon
Wind invesugauons
Due to the expectauons of hotel guests, it will not be
feasible to use natural venulauon for the whole year. In
most climates, the building will have to use convenuonal
heaung and cooling systems for peak winter and summer
periods. Natural venulauon may also be unsuitable in
areas with year-round extreme temperatures or high
humidity.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Natural venulauon can be incorporated by including
operable windows in each guest room with an exterior
wall, in conjuncuon with A/C lockouts when windows
are open. The amount of energy saved will depend

Narrative:
In hotels, guest rooms are oen served with using through
the wall heat pump units (PTACs). These are easy to install
on a room level because they do not require piping, they
do not require a separate outdoor compressor unit, and
they do not require ductwork. Unfortunately, most units
do not provide ught temperature or humidity control, are
oen noisy, and are energy inem cient.
Providing guest rooms with beuer HVAC units would
achieve higher guest comfort, ease maintenance, and
save energy. The type of hotel, the climate zone it is
located in, the orientauon of the exterior rooms, and the
layout of the overall building must be considered before
picking the system that is right for the hotel.
Water source heat pumps are typically 25% more em cient
than PTACs and use a condenser water system. They are
easy to install and inexpensive, but sull not as em cient as
other systems that can be used.
Four-pipe fan coil units provide cooling and heaung
from a central plant piped to the guest rooms, which
provides beuer energy em ciency than PTACs and beuer
temperature control and lower noise. They oer an
improvement in energy em ciency of approximately 15%.
A variable-air-volume (VAV) air-handling system would
require a central air-handling unit that would be ducted
to VAV boxes in each room. The VAV boxes would open
and close in response to the thermostat in each room.
The outdoor air could be supplied either through the
VAV system or separately. These are generally the most
em cient systems, oering energy savings of 25-30%. If the
VAV system is selected in the cold or temperate climates,
use of fan-powered parallel VAV boxes in the room will
produce an addiuonal energy savings by reusing room
heat during the winter.
Considerations:
New Hotels
New hotels pose the best opportunity to integrate
the best HVAC system for a climate, building type,
and building size. VAV units require a ceiling cavity,
while heat pumps and usually fan coil units require an
architectural enclosure. VAV systems require a BMS and
require commissioning and would only be applicable in
large scale resorts.
Exisng Hotels
As HVAC systems are upgraded or replaced, a more
em cient system for that climate and hotel type should
be used to ensure energy savings and beuer room
condiuons.
Advantages:
Guests are more comfortable; Saves building energy costs;
New equipment can be ued into building management
systems.
Disadvantages:
Can have higher capital costs due to equipment, controls,
sheet metal and piping costs.

1 Water Cooled Chillers
Install water cooled chillers in lieu of
air cooled chillers in hot climates where
water is abundant

Total Available Points 1 1
Narrative:
In an air condiuoning system, supply air removes heat
from the spaces if the outside air is warmer than the
required supply air temperature. Chilled water or
another medium is used to remove heat from the supply
air. The heat that is captured in the chilled water loop is
then rejected by the chiller either directly to air or to a
condenser water system that will reject heat using either
a cooling tower or a dry cooler.
The dierence in em ciency between air cooled and water
cooled systems is climate and weather specic. The
outdoor dry bulb temperature is the primary factor for air
cooled systems and the outdoor wet bulb is the primary
factor for water cooled systems.
When using a condenser water system, dry coolers are
less em cient than cooling towers, so if a chiller is used
it should be air cooled or have a cooling tower. At a
certain tonnage of HVAC, it becomes more cost em cient
to have a cooling tower and a water cooled chiller than
an air cooled chiller. A rule of thumb is that for cooling
loads in excess of 200 tons, a water-cooled system will
likely be the best choice for the life of the system. The
system in the modelled hotel had a cooling load of less
200 tons, yet using a water cooled chiller sull yielded
energy savings of approximately 10% over an air cooled
chiller in hot/humid and hot/dry climates. The benets
in temperate and cold climates were negligible. Before
deciding to use a water cooled chiller, system tonnage
and climate should be considered.
When compared to air cooled systems, purchasing a water
cooled system will require a higher capital investment,
mainly due to the cooling tower, condenser water pumps,
and piping. They will also require addiuonal maintenance,
including specic water treatment requirements. For
larger systems however, these downsides are usually
oset by the overall energy savings.
Considerations:
New Hotels
This must be considered with regard to a number of other
credits. Water cooled chillers will likely be appropriate
for a large, centralised HVAC system, but are unsuitable
for smaller systems. More detailed analysis is necessary
based on weather and internal load data.
Exisng Hotels
The dierence in structure between air and water-cooled
chillers makes conversion of exisung systems dim cult and
costly, and should only be considered if replacement or
extensive repair of an exisung chiller is necessary.
Advantages:
Smaller footprint size; Lower energy costs; Quieter; Beuer
capacity control; Ability to use waterside economisers.
Disadvantages:
Higher capital investment; Increased water consumpuon;
Without proper maintenance, there can be a risk of
Legionnaires disease.

Narrative:
In some climates and hotel sites, innovauve cooling
strategies such as evaporauve or absorpuon cooling can
be employed to eecuvely save energy and operaung
costs over convenuonal air condiuoning systems. These
strategies can be complex and require thoughuul design
considering the climate and usage of the building. To
determine if any non-tradiuonal system should be
incorporated into a hotel, an energy model should be
done to study the system and realise if both cost and
energy use are reduced.
A direct evaporauve cooling system passes dry outdoor
air through pads kept moist through water saturauon.
Cooling is achieved because heat from the air is used to
evaporate the water. This process also results in increased
humidity. An indirect system passes the supply air through
a heat exchanger so that the humidity stays out of the air
stream. This can produce total energy savings of 4% in a
hot dry climate, and 1-2% in other climates.
The potenual for evaporauve cooling is measured by
the dierence in dry bulb temperature and wet bulb
temperatures. While dry climates have greater potenual
for evaporauve cooling they typically do not have
abundant water resources. Energy saving are achieved
because minimal mechanical energy is required other
than the fan energy. The trade o between energy
savings and increased water consumpuon should be
considered in the context of the local ecology and uulity
prices. Moreover, the osite energy savings are limited
because of the energy intense processes associated with
water treatment and transportauon.
An absorpuon chiller uses a heat source to generaung
cooling. While this process is less em cient than that of
a convenuonal vapour-compression chiller, savings can
sull be realised where solar thermal or waste heat is
available. Where steam is available, a double eect cycle
can increase the em ciency by 50% over single eect.
Absorpuon chillers do not consume electricity or CFC
or HCFC refrigerants, however commonly have lower
reliability than other chillers.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Hotels located in hot dry climates may consider using
evaporauve coolers. Controls should be used so as not
to exceed comfortable and safe humidity levels. An
indirect system should be used where humidicauon is
not desired.
A hotel site that is appropriately situated for solar
thermal, or that will generate signicant waste heat,
should consider an indirect red single eect absorpuon
chiller to uulise this thermal energy. This is a HVAC good
system to use when fuel cells or a CHP plant are in the
design.
Exisng Hotels
These systems should only be considered when an
extensive refurbishment or replacement of the exisung
cooling plant is necessary.
Advantages:
Evaporauve cooling can oer signicant energy savings;
Reduces the size of cooling equipment
Absorpuon chillers can reduce electrical usage and waste
heat; Possibility of using renewable sources such as solar
thermal or fuel cells to re absorpuon chiller; Eliminauon
of CFC and HCFC refrigerants.
Disadvantages:
Evaporauve cooling requires a trade o between water
and energy consumpuon; Needs maintenance - potenual
exposure to Legionnaires disease; May make air too
humid, psychometrics should be studied.
Absorpuon cooling systems have higher capital cost;
Lower reliability.

Narrative:
A refrigerant is a uid used in a machine that is
designed to pump heat from a lower temperature heat
source to a higher temperature heat sink. CFCs, HCFCs,
HFCs, ammonia, water, and CO
2
are dierent types of
refrigerants.
CFCs in parucular are known to deplete the ozone layer.
As a result, the use of CFCs has been phased out in most
developed countries since the signing of the Montreal
Protocol in 1989, while developing countries have unul
2010 to eliminate their use. Addiuonally, HCFCs cause
damage to the ozone layer and are also being phased
out.
The Ozone Depleuon Potenual (ODP) measures the
eect of the selected refrigerant on the ozone layer.
The Global Warming Potenual (GWP) measures the
eect of the refrigerant on global warming. ODP and
GWP calculauons ensure that the most environmentally
friendly refrigerant is used.
Considerations:
New Hotels
When selecung refrigerants for HVAC and cooling
equipment, the ozone depleuon potenual and the global
warming potenual should be researched and calculated.
The lifeume of the equipment, refrigerant charge,
and amount of refrigerant are all values that must be
considered when selecung refrigerants.
Exisng Hotels
Exisung hotels that use CFCs and HCFCs in HVAC and
cooling equipment should begin a phase-out program and
replace exisung refrigerants (if possible) or equipment.
Since producuon of these refrigerants is or will be
disconunued, the availability will decrease over ume.
Advantages:
Liule or zero ozone depleuon potenual; Less impact on
global warming.
Disadvantages:
Cooling system or plant replacement is expensive; this
should only be considered when HVAC systems are being
refurbished.

Provide heat exchanger for waterside

Total Available Points 2 2
Narrative:
When the outdoor air temperature is at or below the
supply air temperature, an airside economiser mode
on an air handler achieves free cooling by using more
outdoor air instead of cooling the return air. This can also
be done when the outdoor air is greater than the supply
air temperature, but less than the return air temperature.
An enthalpy economiser mode has addiuonal control to
compare enthalpy rather than temperature to ensure
that outdoor air is only used when the enthalpy is lower
than the return air enthalpy.
Economiser mode is required by ASHRAE 90.1-2004
for systems of certain sizes, dependent on climate
zone. Dierent controls for economiser mode are also
recommended based on climate zone.
While airside economisers are more common and oer
a large savings, economisers can also be used in water
systems when it is cold outside and cooling is sull required
inside. This is typical of interior spaces with high loads,
such as conference rooms and meeung spaces in hotels.
The economiser mode consists of running the cooling
tower condenser loop through a heat exchanger rather
than operaung the chiller.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Economisers should be considered in relauon to on site-
specic factors such as climate, and various other HVAC-
related credits. Economiser cycles are most benecial
in areas with cooler or temperate climates, and may not
be appropriate in high humidity regions or in extreme
climates. Though they carry an addiuonal capital cost, the
energy savings can produce fairly short payback periods.
Exisng Hotels
Retrom ng to exisung systems may be suitable where
climate is appropriate and thermal loads are sum ciency
high. This is not applicable to systems that have room air
condiuoners only.
Advantages:
Lower energy costs; Improved air quality due to 100%

Disadvantages:
Higher capital investment; Unsuitable in smaller HVAC

Total Available Points 2 2
Narrative:
Venulauon heat recovery uses an enthalpy wheel, plate
heat exchanger, or run around coils to capture heat
from exhaust air to preheat or precool the outside air. In
cooling mode the heat ow is reversed and the outside
air is precooled by the exhaust air. Plate heat exchangers,
heat pipes, or run around recovery loops recover sensible
energy only. Enthalpy wheels recover sensible and latent
energy, meaning that the humidity of the venulauon
air can be aected too if necessary. The benet of
venulauon heat recovery increases with increasing
outdoor venulauon rates. Therefore, venulauon heat
recovery is a good technology to temper the increased
energy cost of improving indoor air quality. The downside
of heat recovery in venulauon systems is that the heat
exchangers require signicant space, have a higher
capital cost than a tradiuonal air handling unit, and add
to the system pressure drop.
There are also other opportuniues to recover heat from
HVAC systems. Heat sources occur when a large amount
of energy is thrown away in a system, such as return
air, exhaust air, chillers and compressors. Heat sinks are
opportuniues to recover waste heat, and include supply
air, venulauon air, process water, and domesuc hot
water. Heat is transferred from a source to a sink via a
heat exchanger, thus saving the energy that would have
been discarded from the source system and reducing the
energy required by the sink system. Factors such as the
load prole, and reliability and locauons of the source
and sink will aect the system performance.
Considerations:
New Hotels
The most likely opportunity for heat recovery in a hotel
environment is venulauon heat recovery between outside
and exhaust air. Industry gures state payback can be as
short as 2 years. Hotels with high process loads or large
exhaust amounts could use run around heat recovery
coils or heat exchangers.
Exisng Hotels
Providing suitable heat sinks and sources exist, the cost
of incorporaung a heat recovery system into an exisung
hotel may be jusued by the energy savings. If a central
outside air unit is being installed as a retrot, venulauon
heat recovery should be explored.
Advantages:
Provides a means of extracung useful heat and cooling
before it leaves the building; Reduced energy costs and
improved em ciency; Reduces wasted energy released
into the atmosphere.
Disadvantages:
Needs reliable, constant heat sinks and sources;
Potenually high capital cost, more economical at larger
scales; Venulauon recovery system adds pressure drop to
fan system, i.e. more fan energy used.

Narrative:
Beuer control of guest room temperature, humidity,
and air quality can improve guest comfort. Usually only
temperature is monitored and controlled. Beuer overall
room air quality can be achieved by also monitoring
humidity and carbon dioxide. Addiuonally, incorporaung
room controls system into the building management
system (BMS) will also allow for hotel personnel to beuer
manage guest rooms.
Use of a humidistat to measure humidity ensures that
the levels never increase above an uncomfortable or
unhealthy level. If humidity increases above a level of
approximately 60% RH, the room air condiuoning unit
runs in cooling mode even if temperature is saused.
This dehumidies the air to bring it back down to normal
levels, and the unit then reheats the air if the temperature
drops too low.
CO
2
monitoring can improve general indoor environmental
quality in hotels, providing a higher level of health and
comfort to guests and workers. Headaches, drowsiness
and low producuvity have all been correlated with
high CO
2
concentrauons. Installing a CO
2
monitoring
system would allow outdoor air venulauon rates to vary
depending on the number of occupants and their acuvity
level.
To properly install these controls, a building management
system(BMS) shouldbeinstalled. TheBMS wouldmonitor
all three sensors and ensure that the system operates
properly to maximise comfort and save energy.
Considerations:
New Hotels
The em ciency of guest room controls is maximised by
linking it to a building management system. Dampers
and control points would need to be installed to achieve
maximum potenual.
Exisng Hotels
HVAC controls are most easily implemented early in the
design phase and may be dim cult to retrot to exisung
hotels.
Advantages:

trending and long term monitoring of hotel use which can
assist in planning for maintenance and reducing costs.
Disadvantages:
Cost premium for humidistat, humidiers, CO

Narrative:
Electric motors are used extensively in buildings and in
parucular in heaung, venulauon and air condiuoning
systems. Motors are used to pump water in heaung,
cooling and domesuc water systems and also to run fans
in venulauon systems. NEMA set up a premium em ciency
motor program in 2001. This program set standards
for motors to meet in terms of their construcuon with
the intenuon to minimise losses and hence increase
em ciency. This resulted in motors with em ciencies up to
96% (2% to 8% beuer than standard motors).
Even small increases in em ciency can result in dramauc
savings in energy and running cost, parucularly for larger
horsepower motors. For example, an improvement of 5%
in the em ciency of a single 20 HP motor, operaung for
8,000 hours per year, will result in saving of $260 in energy
costs and 4 metric tons of CO
2
emissions per year.
Motor em ciency can be further improved through the
use of variable frequency drives (VFDs), which control
the speed of a motor by varying the frequency of the AC
supply. VFDs allow the ow rate in systems to decrease at
part load. Since power consumpuon varies with the cube
of ow rate, signicant energy savings can be realised.
VFDs can be placed on most HVAC systems, as long as
the systems are designed for variable ow. Since most
systems rarely operate at full load, energy savings can be
signicant. Fans, pumps, and motors all can be ued with
a VFD.
Considerations:
New Hotels
NEMA Premium motors typically carry an addiuonal cost
premium of up to 15%. This is considered cost eecuve
when annual operauon exceeds 2,000 hours, with a
payback period of less than 5 years. Installing VFDs shows
a signicant savings immediately since a large poruon of
energy used in a building is for the HVAC systems.
Exisng Hotels
It is not cost eecuve to replace all exisung standard
em ciency motors with Premium motors. However,
replacement should be considered where older motors

or rewinding is necessary. Cost analyses should be done
to determine the feasibility of installing VFDs on exisung

Although more than 70% of the earths surface is covered
in water, less that 1% lls the earths rivers and lakes
and is available for drinking. Almost 20% of the worlds
populauon do not have access to safe drinking water.
20% lack adequate sanitauon.
Many parts of the world are already experiencing
freshwater stress where the amount withdrawn as a
percentage of total water available is shown to be 10%
or more. This stress will conunue as populauons conunue
to grow with parts of Asia, the United States and parts of
Europe expected to use between 20 and 40% of the total
water available to them. It is at this moderate stress
level that scienusts anucipate impacts on local species.
Groundwater currently supplies around one third of the
worlds populauon and is parucularly criucal in remote
areas. Due to excessive withdrawing of groundwater
resources, and nature being unable to keep up with the
demand, water tables have dropped. This has lead to
land subsidence and the intrusion of saltwater into the
groundwater.
Energy associated with the pumping and treatment of
water is signicant and, across the world, accounts for
3% of energy consumpuon. Depending on the region,
however, this can be signicantly more. Water is already
the subject of liugauon across the world as environmental
organisauons take water distributors to court over the
potenual impact that giving water rights to developments
has on ecosystems. Many developments have been
halted based on this. This trend will conunue to grow.

Narrative:
A key component of eecuve water management is
sum cient potable water supply, distribuuon and quality
drinking water. Water storage is needed for water
consumpuon, re and emergency supplies, however, too
much storage may contribute to water quality issues.
Water is usually distributed by a municipal water system
but if no municipal supply is available, water storage is
calculated from maximum possible water demand.
Dead ends in water distribuuon system create stagnant
water leading deposiuon and contaminauon. Eliminaung
dead end water mains is best pracuce to ensure a safe
potable water supply for a hotel.
Water hardness is caused by the presence of calcium
and magnesium ions in natural water due to geological
formauons. Hard water could cause build-up in supply
systems damaging pipes and pumps. Water soening
could be done through reverse osmosis, RO (pressurised
ltrauon system through a membrane that could treat
water to drinking water quality minus disinfecuon), or
by adding sodium based zeolites. So water is water
decient in mineral ions like calcium and magnesium.
Water could be hardened by adding these minerals to
the water supply.
Water ltrauon units could be auached to hotel guests
sinks to enhance taste, remove residual chlorine (if used
for disinfecuon) and reduce the need for bouled water.
Guests can consume faucet water, and reduce waste
produced by consuming bouled water. Bouled water
contains more embodied energy than faucet water
because of packaging and transportauon involved.
Considerations:
New Hotels
An assessment of water quality should be carried out
prior to construcuon. If potable water quality does not
meet WHO standards, a water treatment facility may be
necessary. Dead ends for distribuuon piping should be
avoided.
Exisng Hotels
Water ltrauon units can easily be retrot into guest
rooms faucets. Providing quality drinking water from
faucets removes the need for bouled water.
Advantages:
Safe, reliable drinking water for guests and employees.
Disadvantages:
RO is energy intensive; Hardening/soening requires
operator or automated machinery.

Narrative:
Hotel properues are typically billed on a monthly basis by
their local water uulity provider. Tracking this informauon
through Green Measure allows hotel operators to see
how they compare against other hotels in IHGs poruolio
and improve their performance over ume.
Increasing the level of metering and the rate of monitoring
has a range of benets. Sub-meters can be designed or
retrouedintowater subsystemssuchasboilers, domesuc
hot water, cooling towers, irrigauon, and indoor plumbing
xtures and m ngs. Depending on the hotels building
management system and level of energy metering, this
data can be used to trend equipment em ciencies, and
detect problems, and determine the eect of changes in
building operauons.
All meters, whether at a building or subsystem level, should
be read on at least a weekly basis, so that any trends or
signicant variauons can be quickly nouced. The accuracy
of meters of also of great importance, and they should be
calibrated and maintained according to manufacturers
recommendauons. Hotels shall be required to keep
accurate records of all water consumpuon data.
Sub-metering can be installed for lighung, boilers, steam,
gas, power, water piping and other uuliues.
Considerations:
New Hotels
The hotel owner needs to decide what to do with the
metering data before installauon. A meter at the source
level (a meter for the enure building from the uulity)
should always be installed. New hotels should enrol in
Green Engage and begin uploading water consumpuon
data once the hotel is occupied. Meters should be
installed for a lifeume above 20 years.
Exisng Hotels
In exisung hotels, idenufying and targeung areas of high
consumpuon and greatest potenual for water savings will
reduce costs of a new metering system. Exisung meters
shall be regularly checked to ensure calibrauon within
manufacturers tolerances and intervals.
Advantages:
Long term water savings; Operauons and maintenance
trouble shooung; Idenufy problems before failure and
downume; Provides data source for decision making;
Measurement and vericauon.
Disadvantages:
Added capital cost; Requires advanced training or outside
contracts for data interpretauon if feeding back to a

Narrative:
Managing water demand is key to reducing water
consumpuon. By designing to improve water em ciency
within the building, the water budget can be signicantly
reduced. The buildings largest potenual consumers of
water are likely to be showers, water closets, faucets and
any kitchens within the building. Low ow xtures are
a huge step in water conservauon eorts. As with every
technology, the em ciency in which we use water has
increased since basic plumbing was introduced.
Aerators/ow control devices restrict ow and create
higher pressure at discharge. Sensor ush xtures assure
the system does not run unless a user is in proximity. Low
ow xtures are available for most applicauons including
restroom and food preparauon sinks, steam cookers,
pre-rinse spray valves, showerheads, toilets, and laundry
equipment. These xtures use on average 85% of a
hotel's total potable water use. Low ow xtures could
potenually reduce overall use by at least 25%.
Ultra-low ow xtures are yet another way of further
reducing water consumpuon, but will likely increase
guest complaints in a resort-type hotel. These xtures
may work well when water availability is low or scarce.
Ultra low ow xtures could potenually reduce potable
water use at a hotel by at least 40%.
Local plumbing codes must be checked to ensure that
low/no ow xtures are permiued.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Dual ush xtures, low ow faucets and showerheads
could easily be installed during construcuon. Aerators
and ow control devices can be installed without nouce
from hotel guests due to pressurisauon of the water.
Exisng Hotels
Fixtures for faucets and water closets could be replaced
to reduce water consumpuon.
Advantages:
A visible sign to green commitment; Reduces water
consumpuon and costs associated; Reduces amount of
water needed to be heated thus less gas consumpuon.
Disadvantages:
Guests may nd objecuon to low ow showers water
supply, Higher chance of maintenance issues and guest
moving pertaining to low ow toilets; Filter changes for
waterless urinals (newer technologies do not require
change out); Water closets, lavatories and showers
have the same maintenance requirements as standard
xtures; Sensor baueries need to be replaced (>1,000
hours of use).

Narrative:
Dish and clothes washing machines signicantly
contribute to the amount of water use in a hotel. Energy
Star clothing washing machines can use up to 50%
less water than a typical washing machine, as well as
contribute to potenual energy savings. Energy Star dish
washing machines can contribute up to a 25% savings
in water. These two technologies oer signicant water
savings in hotels.
Cooling tower water consumpuon can be greatly reduced
by minimising blowdown, or water discharged from the
system. However, le unmonitored, minerals in the
water can damage cooling equipment and increase the
risk of Legionnaires disease. Conducuvity meters and
automauc controls, combined with a comprehensive
maintenance program, can miugate against these risks
and allow an balance to be reached. Condensate return
water can be collected from cooling towers and reused
for a variety of uses.
Boiler systems can be designed to ensure return of steam
condensate to the boiler for reuse. Boiler blowdown
can be limited and should be checked conunuously and
adjusted if necessary.
Considerations:
New Hotels
The t-out of a new hotel should warrant the inclusion
of highly em cient washing machines (dish and clothing).
Boiler systems should be designed with return valves
for condensate. Cooling tower condensate return is
recommended for areas with high humidity and should
be invesugated during the design process.
Exisng Hotels
New em cient dishwashing and clothing washing machines
can be retroued into exisung hotels as a replacement for
older, less-em cient machines. Cooling tower conducuvity
meters and controls are easy to retrot and can have a
very short payback. Retrom ng condensate returns
on exisung cooling towers or boilers carry a signicant
addiuonal cost.
Advantages:
Reducuon of demand (and costs) from potable water
supply and wastewater discharge.
Disadvantages:
Iniual capital costs of em cient systems may be higher
than tradiuonal systems.

Total Available Points 3 3
Narrative:
Landscape irrigauon could potenually consume a
signicant amount of potable water at a hotel. Water
demand can be reduced through em cient landscaping
techniques such as selecung nauve or adaptable plant
species or drought tolerant plants. If irrigauon is necessary,
strategies could include grouping the plants or installing
em cient irrigauon systems. Plants could be grouped
according to water and care requirements to prevent
over-irrigauon. Em cient irrigauon systems allow water to
be applied to plants roots rather than blanket irrigauon
in turn reducing evaporauon. Drip irrigauon systems and
moisture sensing irrigauon systems are replacements
from tradiuonal sprinkler systems. Considerauon should
be given to the use of the greywater and rainwater where
available.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Landscaping plans should be adaptable to current
landscapes and climate condiuons. Xeriscaping can
be applied to the enure site or to specic areas and
other vegetated areas supplemented with irrigauon, if
necessary.
Exisng Hotels
Installauon of permanent irrigauon systems for exisung
hotels is generally more costly than new hotel installauons
due to cum ng and lling operauons in an exisung area.
Advantages:
Water bill reducuon due to reduced water use; Increased
natural habitats with nauve species.
Disadvantages:
Nauve or adapuve landscaping may not be aestheucally
sum cient for some hotels.

Total Available Points 2 1
Narrative:
A new development dramaucally disturbs the natural
hydrology of a site. Impervious surfaces do not allow
rainfall to soak into the ground causing increased
stormwater runo, which the exisung drainage system
may not be capable of handling. Stormwater leaving the
site can be reduced by storing water on-site, reducing the
speed through structural and biological pracuces
Impervious surfaces accumulate pollutants and during
storm events, these pollutants will be picked up by the
stormwater and washed into the exisung drainage system.
By treaung stormwater, the quality of water running o-
site does not impair the local environment. There are
many methods for improving stormwater quality. These
methods may be are regional and adapuve to local
climate condiuons and responsive to site constraints.
Some strategies may include bioswales in parking lots
and ltrauon devices. In most municipaliues stormwater
quality and quanuty control are required and regulated.
Nutricauon is the increase of nutrients (nitrates and
phosphates) to waterbodies, which causes increased
algae growth at the water surface.
Considerations:
New Hotels
In new construcuon projects, the landscape design can
be focused to deter stormwater from leaving the site.
Construcuon of green roofs and rainwater collecuon for
reuse systems needs to be considered early in the design.
Biological systems such as bioswales and constructed
wetlands could be installed in conjuncuon with structural
systems.
Exisng Hotels
Stormwater ltrauon systems can be easily added to
stormwater inlets. Rainwater collecuon for irrigauon
purposes could be constructed with the exisung drainage
on the building. Construcuon of permeable pavement
systems could replace asphalt parking lots. Naturalising
(creaung drainage systems used before development) is
costly but will improve exisung drainage.
Advantages:
Reduce wastewater load on local Waste Water Treatment
plant; Reducuon of pollutants to watershed.
Disadvantages:
Structural systems such as ltrauon systems require
maintenance.

Narrative:
Increasing water demands and viable treatment
technologies make water recycling an important opuon.
Rainwater harvesung is a process of intercepung
stormwater runo and collecung it for future use.
Greywater recycling is treaung water from sinks,
baths, showers, washing machines, kitchen sinks and
dishwashers for future reuse. Blackwater recycling is
treaung the eM uent from water closets, urinals, waste
disposal units, kitchen sinks (without lters), and any
other highly polluted eM uent source for future reuse.
With the addiuon of ultra low ow xtures, hotels
could reduce potable water demand for bathroom use
approximately 70% by greywater recycling. By using ultra
low ow xtures and rainwater harvesung, hotels in hot-
humid, temperate, cold and hot dry regions could reduce
potable water demand in bathrooms 55%, 50%, 45%,
45%, respecuvely.
While in some areas there are restricuons on the reuse of
recovered water/wastewater, in general it can be reused
for any purpose as long as it is treated to the required
level.
Considerations:
New Hotels
The viability of the system depends greatly on the
quanuty of source water, treatment costs and available
end uses. Rainwater recycling systems should be used
in areas with average to high rainfall. Local codes may
prevent collecuon of rainwater or greywater. Blackwater
treatment can be done with packaged systems such
as membrane bioreactors (MBR) or naturally through
constructed wetlands or lagoons (odour may be an issue
with these types of systems if not maintained).
Exisng Hotels
Rainwater harvesung could be implemented in
conjuncuon with exisung rainwater collecuon
infrastructure. Room must be available for storage tanks
and ltrauon systems.
Advantages:
Reducuon of demand (and costs) from potable water
supply and wastewater discharge; Markeung value
for this relauvely inexpensive technology far exceeds
any esumates of nancial savings; All wastewater is
treated and recycled onsite reducing site wastewater
infrastructure.
Disadvantages:
Water storage tank locauon and size to be considered in
building layout; A separate water supply network needs to
be provided; Filtrauon equipment requires maintenance;
Increased cost as treatment requirements increase.

Narrative:
Tradiuonal laundry cleaning methods create high levels of
energy, chemical waste and water consumpuon. Chlorine
and other chemical based detergents are potenually toxic
to organisms when released to the environment and
could create toxic residuals when stored.
Ozone is a very powerful disinfectant and rapidly oxidises
dissolved impuriues without the producuon of residuals
and noxious gases. Ozone allows for shorter wash cycles
resulung in signicant energy and water/sewer surcharge
savings. Ozone disinfecuon is recommended to replace
chlorine in pool water and water features/fountains.
Ozone disinfecuon could be 10-20% water savings and
60% - 80% water heaung savings compared to chlorine
disinfecuon.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Space must to be provided for ozone treatment systems.
Linking the ozone treatment systems together will save
costs.
Exisng Hotels
Retrom ng of exisung clothing washing machines with
ozone treatment technology is relauvely simple providing

LEED MRc6
Narrative:
The rst step in towards the eecuve management of
waste is to understand the types and quanuues of waste
being generated.
Green Measure allows hotel operators to track and trend
waste leaving the site on a monthly basis. This data
can be used to benchmark the hotel against other IHG
properues and monitor the eects of waste minimisauon
strategies.
For a more detailed picture, a hotel should conduct a
waste audit. A waste stream audit is a process used to
quanufy the amount and types of waste being generated
during construcuon, ongoing operauons, or demoliuon,
as well as the treatment and disposal method of the
wastes. By quanufying and understanding the waste
types before construcuon, the method for disposal and
savings could be made in terms of material orders and
cost for current and future projects. Similarly, idenufying
recyclables in the ongoing waste stream that are currently
going to landll can lead to reduced waste hauling costs.
Weight and volume play an important role regarding
waste audits. For example, if polystyrene is used in
construcuon, the weight of the material is less resulung in
cheap upping fees (if not recycled). However the volume
of the material is large, resulung in more truck loads.
Considerations:
New Hotels
A form should be created before any construcuon project
specifying the types of waste expected during demoliuon
and construcuon (in weight or volume measurements)
and the amount of waste salvaged, recycled and disposed.
Receipts or chain of custody forms should be collected by
the construcuon manager for all waste hauled o site.
Exisng Hotels
Management should upload waste data to Green
Measure on a monthly basis. A waste audit should be
conducted to establish the current level of recycling,
establish a target level, and outline strategies to reach this
target. Management should inquire about local waste

services are available and the associated costs.
Successful implementauon of recycling programs begins
with sta and guest educauon. Guest should be made

been established by the facility. Sta should be trained
on separauon and storage policies for recyclables.
Faciliues must also be in place to support this program.
At a minimum, a hotel should have a central storage area
to allow for waste separauon. Recycling bins throughout
the hotel not only facilitate waste separauon but also
make these eorts visible to hotel guests.
Advantages:
May lead to reduced waste disposal costs in some areas.
Disadvantages:
Waste stream audit requires sta training and labour or
the hiring of a third party; Changing the waste disposal
methods may require using addiuonal waste removal

Narrative:
Once the types and quanuues of waste being generated by
a hotel have been established, a Solid Waste Management
(SWM) policy should be adopted to ensure that this waste
is being handled properly. A SWM policy should address
how hotel waste is to be handled, in parucular idenufying
opportuniues for waste reducuon, reuse and recycling.
The recycling program should encompass paper, metal,
glass, cardboard, plasuc, light bulbs and baueries.
Strategies that should be explored include engaging a
recycling agency, parucipaung in company take-back
programs and parucipaung in donauon programs.
Successful implementauon of recycling programs begins
with sta and guest educauon. Guest should be made
aware of how to parucipate in the measures that have
been established by the facility. Sta should be trained
on separauon and storage policies for recyclables.
Faciliues must also be in place to support this program.
At a minimum, a hotel should have a central storage area
to allow for waste separauon. Recycling bins throughout
the hotel not only facilitate waste separauon but also
make these eorts visible to hotel guests.
Considerations:
New Hotels
The collecuon and storage strategy for recyclables should
be considered for new hotels and used to inform the
design of waste storage and pick-up areas.
Exisng Hotels
Ensure that exisung collecuon areas are adequately sized,
and add or expand if necessary. The waste management
policyshouldbeconveyedtosta andguests toensureit is
followed. This includes making bins accessible to all hotel
sta including front desk sta, as well as housekeeping
and guests. Recycling rates should be tracked and
uploaded on a monthly basis to Green Measure.
Advantages:
Reduced burden on landll; Reduced waste hauling costs;
Improved visibility of environmental objecuves to hotel
guests.
Disadvantages:
Potenual addiuonal labour costs in separaung waste.

Narrative:
Waste management is comprised of the 3 Rs (reduce,
re-use and recycle), with waste reducuon resulung
in the largest economic and environmental benets
(e.g. reducuon in GHG emissions) followed by re-use,
recycling/composung, energy recovery and disposal as
worst case. Resource and waste management should
be considered at each stage of the building from design,
through to construcuon, operauon, maintenance and
deconstrucuon.
Carefully deconstrucung a building instead of
demolishing will allow beuer reuse and recycling of
building materials and equipment.
Considerations:
New Hotels
An on-site staging area or the o-site hauler for each
waste type should be considered prior to project
commencement. Potenual waste that could be collected
and salvaged on a construcuon includes: concrete,
ceramics, metals, inert waste, liquids and oils, wood,
plasterboard, packaging, plasucs, insulauon, furniture. If
space permits, Construcuon and Demoliuon (C&D) waste
can be treated using mobile processing plant.
Exisng Hotels
Deconstrucuon of an exisung hotel and the potenual
locauon of building materials and equipment should be
planned early in the design phase.
Advantages:
Costsavingsthroughreducingthequanutyof rawmaterials
through re-use and recycling and by reducing waste to
landll; Reducing the space required at properues for
the storage of recyclables and waste; Improved markets
through increasing em ciency of resource use and through
promouon of industrial symbiosis.
Disadvantages:
In some regional locauons, coordinauon and staging may
require addiuonal management and scheduling.

1 Incenuve Reduced Packaging
Achieve 20% of total materials supplied
without packaging

1 Engage Packaging Take-Back/Recycling
Program
Develop and enforce contract with
suppliers

Total Available Points 2 2
Narrative:
Waste reducuon could be introduced into the procurement
processes and incorporated into contracts for potenual
suppliers (waste management contractor, site sub-
contractors, and design contractors). Procurement
plays a large part in reducing construcuon waste.
Sem ng criteria for procurement of sub-contractors will
ensure that only those with the right mindset for waste
minimisauon are employed. This can be done by making
waste minimisauon and management an integral part of
the tender process for designers, sub-contractors, waste
management contractors and materials suppliers. Where
possible, materials should be procured on the basis of
their durability, re-usability and recyclability and the use
of hard-to-recycle materials such as composites should
be limited or even eliminated where possible.
Waste packaging can also be minimised through
procurement by working with suppliers to rstly
minimise the amount required for protecuon and then to
iniuate take-back schemes for packaging waste. Where
packaging is essenual, encouraging the use of re-usable
protecuon is a good compromise. Take-back schemes for
o-cuts and other materials should also be encouraged.
Considerations:
New Hotels
A hotel procurement policy should be in place to ensure
that the Construcuon Manager is aware of minimising
packaging, ensure supplier take-back and opumise
recyclable packaging during construcuon.
Exisng Hotels
As with new hotels a procurement policy should be
in place. There is also an opportunity to impact all
renovauons as well as translaung this policy to on-going
operauons. The reducuon of supplier packaging and the
burden of hotel storage and removal of this packaging can
contribute to a signicant reducuon in operaung costs.
Advantages:
Reducuon of waste and conservauon of natural resources;
Reducuon in disposal fees.
Disadvantages:
In some locauons coordinauon of suppliers may impact
schedule or staging area. For exisung hotels, once
suppliers have been idenued there may be increased
amount of oversight required by management unul sta
and suppliers have been trained on new protocol.

1 Manage Food Waste
Divert 50% of food scraps through
composnng

Total Available Points 2 2
Narrative:
Green space on a hotel site oers benets both to hotel
guests and the environment. However, such spaces can
also generate a substanual quanuty of clippings, which
is commonly discarded as trash. Rather than sending
this waste to a landll, it can be put to use on site, either
directly for mulching or by rst being composted, then
used as a ferulizer.
Food scraps are also suitable for composung, so long as
meat scraps are rst removed. This should be considered
in hotels which have the space on-site for a central
composung facility, and the green space to jusufy such a
facility. Compost from food scraps is rich in nutrients and
can also be used as ferulizer on-site or donated for use in
o-site areas.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Hotels with signicant green space should allocate space
for a central composung facility for site and food scrap
waste. Those with less space should implement a site
management policy in which clippings are used for
mulching.
Exisng Hotels
The development of a composung facility may be dim cult
for exisung hotels. However the use of clippings for
mulching is simple to implement and carries no capital
cost.
Advantages:
Reduced burden on landll; Reduced ferulizer costs;
Environmentally benecial to inorganic (syntheuc)
ferulizers.
Disadvantages:
Stam ng requirements to sort waste and manage compost;
Odour concerns.

P-01 Eco-Embedded Materials Speciication
Narrative:
Specicauons ensure a level on consistency throughout
brands and are a way to determine the quality of a
product which has been previously reviewed. Embedding
sustainability in to specicauons allows hotels a default
level of sustainability which the hotel General Manager or
Owner can be condent will be applied in their property.
The follow criteria is widely used for construcuon
materials, ongoing consumables, and durable goods,
in parucular high cost, high impact and high volume
materials such as carpet, paint, oor, wall board, case
work, ule, insulauon, structural members, and windows.
These criteria apply to new construcuon, renovauons,
and ongoing hotel operauons.
Local Availability: Locally extracted and manufactured
materials should be chosen where possible
Rapidly renewable content: Materials that have a
growth cycle and can be harvested in less than 10 years,
allow products to be manufactured without depleung
resources
Recycled content: Recycled content materials are made
from waste material from either a manufacturing process
or consumer use
Low toxicity: Products such as uorescent light bulbs
and baueries contain hazardous materials, however
there are products that contain lower levels of these
toxins or are made to be reusable
Durability: Materials that last longer with less
maintenance use less embodied energy over their life
Speed of assembly: Using materials that can be
assembled more quickly can reduce energy required
during construcuon
Considerations:
New Hotels
Develop specicauons that incorporate environmental
standards. All contractors and subcontractors should
be educated on the use and importance of these
specicauons.
Exisng Hotels
Standardised environmental materials specicauons
should be developed for ongoing consumables, durable
goods, mercury containing light bulbs, baueries and to be
included in all renovauon specs.
Advantages:
Possible reduced construcuon cost; Possible increased
building durability.
Disadvantages:
Some products may have limited availability, higher costs
and/or longer lead umes in some markets. Allow for these
considerauons in budget and construcuon schedule.

Narrative:
Using materials with recycled content reduces
environmental impacts from extracuon and processing
of virgin materials. As a global standard for recycled
content, ISO 14021 1999- Environmental labels and
Declarauons can be used. Most projects will aim for
10-20% of recycled content in materials based on total
material cost in projects.
Recycled content can be both post-consumer such as
waste generated by households as well as pre-consumer,
which entails material diverted from waste stream during
the manufacturing process.
Recycled content can be found in a wide array of nishes
and furniture such ceiling ules, om ce chairs, and structural
elements such as concrete, engineered wood and steel.
Preference should be given to those products that can
be easily recycled at the end of their use such as steel
and aluminium. Many furniture and ooring companies
provide take-back and recycling programs. Performance
specicauon language should outline inclusion for
maximised recycled content and recyclability where
locally available and economically feasible. Tracking
recycled content informauon from suppliers should be
incorporated into contracts.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Design teams should opumise the design to use recycled
content construcuon and nish materials. In most regions
when incorporated early in design this can be done in a
cost neutral capacity.
Exisng Hotels
When purchasing new furniture and nish materials high
recycled content products should be selected.
Advantages:
Some manufacturers of materials with high recycled
content have programs to take back the materials, in
a renovauon this could have a signicant impact to the
reducuon of construcuon waste. Addiuonally for items
such as carpet and ceiling ule this may allow for the
storage of less replacement stock.
Many base building materials have a high recycled
content by the nature of their composiuon for example
steel and glass.
Disadvantages:
Product lead umes may need to be adjusted based on
availability in some markets.

Narrative:
Signicant energy is consumed to transport building
materials from their source to the site. Using regionally
extracted, processed, manufactured and/or recovered
materials supports the use of indigenous resources
and reduces the environmental impact resulung from
transportauon. Within the sustainable construcuon
industry, regional is commonly dened as within 800
kilometres (500 miles) of the project site. Use of regionally
manufactured materials requires a local site or regional
approach. Most locauons should have at minimum local
gypsum board manufacturers, steel mills and concrete
plants. In addiuon, regional materials are oen adapted
to specic local climate challenges that each project team
may be unaware of.
uulisauon of regional materials is a strategy which
also provides a good way to demonstrate the projects
commitment to the community and local arusans.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Project teams need to work to idenufy and determine
local availability of materials and their relauonship to
building design. Incorporaung regional materials early
in design ensures a limited cost risk and may present
opportuniues for savings. It is also best if the design
team idenues the use of regional materials in the
general condiuons (division 1) of specicauons to clearly
communicate to the contractor the targets for material
use.
Exisng Hotels
Regional materials are not exclusively limited to
construcuon materials and general managers should
review and consider on-going suppliers and consumable
goods. Addiuonally, during renovauons or scheduled
maintenance locally sourced and/or manufactured
products should be selected when purchasing/replacing
new furniture and nish materials.
Advantages:
In desunauon locauons local or regional materials may
enhance the guest experience as well as showing support
for the local community and heritage.
In many cases local materials are available on shorter
nouce given their short haul ume; this makes staging
and scheduling these materials easier for both new and
exisung hotels. A large poruon of base building materials
such as concrete, steel and glass are manufactured locally.
Addiuonally some recycled alternauves to Portland
cement enhance concrete strength while reducing
embodied energy
Disadvantages:
Some markets may have limited opuons dependant on
locauon. In these cases product lead umes may need to
be adjusted based on availability.

Narrative:
Most building materials uulise nite raw resources
or resources with long regenerauon cycles. Uulising
rapidly renewable materials that have less than ten
year harvest periods diminishes the ecological footprint
of a building project. Common examples are bamboo,
wool, couon bau insulauon, agribre, linoleum ooring,
wheatboard, strawboard and cork. Wheatboard is
an excellent replacement for parucle board. Rapidly
renewable materials oen have a signicant price
premium, oen because they serve a niche market.
Unfortunately, as demand increases some suppliers are
oering products that are the result of environmentally
detrimental agricultural pracucessuch as clearing old
growth forests to grow bamboo. When selecung rapidly
renewable products, it is important to choose products
from sustainable sources.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Rapidly renewable nishes, furniture and service
products provide a great opportunity to demonstrate
the companys commitment to sustainability and thus
educaung the sta and community. However, the
desire for visibility should not result in using renewable
materials even though they have high embodied energy
due to distance travelled from their source (e.g. bamboo
from South Asia to United States).
Exisng Hotels
Sustainably harvested rapidly renewable materials can
be found in a wide variety of products from fabric to
toiletries. Interior renovauons also oer opportuniues to
upgrade furniture and nishes to products with rapidly
renewable content.
Advantages:
Rapidly renewable materials are widely idenuable as
sustainable materials and can improve public percepuon.
Disadvantages:
Lack of product availability or cost increase may limit
opuons in some markets; Products that are long distance
imports and/or produced through environmentally
damaging pracuces would send a contradictory
message.

Narrative:
Designing for material reducuon can reduce the waste
stream as well as the cost of a project. Using advanced
framingpracuces, theoverall number of framingmembers
is reduced and the depth of the members increased. This
technique uses less material waste and provides a larger
wall cavity for increased insulauon. Increased modularity
and designing to uulise standard product dimensions will
decrease the amount of construcuon waste generated
on-site and simplify construcuon. Modular systems,
such as structurally insulated panel systems, reduce the
need for on-site construcuon decreasing ume, costs and
errors.
All of these systems and techniques require increased
auenuon to detail in design and planning. Further taking
the ume to design in exibility of programs into spaces
will reduce the need for costly and disrupuve addiuons
and renovauons in the future.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Creaung a standard design that can be easily adjusted to
t the specic site and climate characterisucs will reduce
the need for ume intensive redesigns with each project.
Exisng Hotels
These strategies do not apply to exisung projects.
Advantages:

Narrative:
Mold growth and contaminants in indoor environments
can cause persistent problems from producing staining
and foul odours to serious respiratory illnesses. Removing
and remediaung contaminants aer it has been nouced
can be a very expensive process.
Mold will grow anywhere that excess moisture is present.
The best way to combat mold growth is to control
the moisture introduced to interior spaces. During
construcuon, the staging and storage of absorbent
materials and air handling equipment is criucal to
prevenung the introducuon of contaminants. Delivering
and storing ducts covered and sealed will prevent dust and
debris from contaminaung the air handling equipment. If
absorbent materials do get wet, allowing thorough dry
out before installauon will prevent future mold growth.
Proper envelope detailing and installauon will deter
rain and humid air inltrauon and allow for full dry out
when moisture is introduced. Vapour barriers/retarders
should be limited to use in the correct climate zones with
auenuon paid to how the walls will dry out. Using mold
resistant materials will deter mold growth when small
amounts of moisture are present. Bathrooms, kitchens
and other humid areas of the building should provide the
appropriate automated exhaust opuons.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Design teams should consider climate and movement of
moisture through the envelope when creaung details and
wall construcuons. Construcuon teams should create and
implement a Construcuon Air Quality Management Plan.
Exisng Hotels
Regular inspecuons for leaks and condensauon build
up should be implemented and problems remediated
immediately. When renovaung exisung faciliues,
consider installing bathroom exhausts that vent to the
outside and replacing interior wall coverings with vapour
permeable nishes that allow walls to dry out.
Advantages:
Increased durability of construcuon materials; Odour
reducuon; Increased guest sausfacuon; Less inltrauon
reduces energy consumpuon
Disadvantages:
Requires supervision during construcuon; Can require
added design experuse

S-05 Reduce Auto Use Impact
S-06 Parking
According to the US EPA, developed land use in 2004 was
equal to around 108 million acres. This was an increase of
24% over the previous 10 years. This trend is replicated
throughout much of the world as populauons grow and
migrate to urban areas of the world.
With this growth, land that could have been put to
other uses is lost. These uses could include land for
growing food, and diversied ecosystems. As paved areas
grow, rainwater is no longer auenuated at the point of
contact with the ground and immediately runs o taking
contaminants and eroding soil. Waterways get polluted.
Developed land tends to consist of a high percentage
of hardscape - such as parking areas and building roofs.
These are heated by the sun during the day and re-emit
that heat at night which can raise local air temperatures.
This can increase air condiuoning loads for a building and
also impact insects and other wildlife.
A site should be chosen, designed, and constructed, to
minimize the impacts listed above. The social impact of
the site should also be considered along with the ease of
access to those working at the site.

S-01 Environmentally Sensitive Site Management
Narrative:
The environmental implicauons of the management of a
hotel site can be profound. Oen chemicals used for pest
control, ferulising, cleaning walkways, or removing ice end
up polluung the ground or waterways and aecung local
ora and fauna. The implementauon of a comprehensive
site management plan can lessen this impact whilst also
improving condiuons for guests and workers by ensuring
that the frequency of site maintenance work is kept to
a minimum and eliminaung potenual exposure to toxic
substances.
The site management plans relate to the following
issues:
Maintenance equipment
Snow and ice removal
Cleaning of building exterior and hardscapes
Paints and sealants used on building exterior
Outdoor pest management
Erosion and sedimentauon control
Composung or mulching of landscape waste
Minimisauon of chemical feruliser use
Considerations:
New Hotels
A site management plan should be implemented at the
onset of construcuon to minimise the impact to the
building site. In parucular, an erosion and sedimentauon
control plan is necessary to control and minimise the
introducuon of silt and pollutants into the watershed
during rain events. Projects with new site or landscaping
work should follow the suggesuons in the referenced
stormwater polluuon protecuon guidelines appropriate
to the project site.
Exisng Hotels
Reducuon in the use of toxic chemicals on the hotel
site is a low-cost measure that will deliver immediate
environmental benets. Erosion and sedimentauon
control should be performed for all landscaping work.
Mulching or composung of landscaping waste should
be done where possible to reduce waste hauling and
ferulising costs.
Advantages:
Low cost measures; Potenual to reduce expenditure on
chemicals and equipment, and waste hauling; Minimises
risk of exposure of toxic chemicals to hotel guests and
workers.
Disadvantages:
Requires training and documentauon to implement and
track; Some low-impact alternauves are not suitable or
available in all locauons.

Narrative:
Construcuon and tourism can be very disrupuve to local
ecosystems and endanger the natural resources that make
a locauon a desirable desunauon. Whenever possible,
choosing a building site that has already been disturbed
and/or is not home to sensiuve species is the rst step to
reducing the negauve impact of increased human acuvity
in an area. Landscape and site planning should protect
nauve species with wetland buers, wildlife corridors and
habitat restorauon. Trained tour guides and other means
of signage and visitor educauon should be employed to
limit damage to protected areas.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Language explaining proper site preparauon and
maintenance should be included in specicauons. All
projects could pracuce site and species protecuon
starung with a basic ecological audit that will inform site
design and use.

1 Opumised Solar Orientauon
Face building within 30 of south (or
north for southern hemisphere hotels)

1 Reduce Building Footprint


Less than 50% of total site area

Total Available Points 2 0
Narrative:
Well planned solar orientauon balances the need to block
sunlight from contribuung to cooling loads and permits
penetrauon for daylighung and solar heaung. Orienung
the building so that the longest facades are exposed to
the North and South with appropriate shading allows
the project to take greatest advantage of available solar
resources.
By designing the most em cient building footprint that
meets occupancy and operaung requirements resources
are conserved during construcuon and operauon of
the facility. Building for possible expansion that is not
ulumately used only results in higher iniual capital cost
as well as higher faciliues costs. Reducing the building
footprint also allows more of the site to be uulised for
landscaping and habitat restorauon.
Considerations:
New Hotels
When minimising the footprint of a project determine
funcuons, such as event parking or large meeung
halls, can be shared with neighbouring faciliues or
stacked. When opumising solar orientauon, incorporate
appropriate horizontal and verucal solar shading devices
on the exposed facades.
Exisng Hotels
Exisung projects may only pursue this acuon if expansions
are planned. When expansions are being planned, rst
determine what neighbouring resources could be beuer
uulised in lieu of new construcuon.
Advantages:
Reduced operaung costs; Reduced construcuon costs
Disadvantages:
Possible increased design costs

Total Available Points 4 2


Narrative:
Plan the building footprint, driveway and parking to
maximise open space and preserve local ecosystems.
Green space should serve as a wildlife corridor and may
be used for recreauon or aestheuc gardens. Vegetauon
contributes signicantly to other measures such as
reduced heat island impact and stormwater control.
Nauve vegetauon species adapt to the geography,
hydrology, and climate of the region, require liule or
no irrigauon, minimal maintenance and require no
ferulisers, pesucides and herbicides. Nauve vegetauon
act as local habitats to animal species in the region and
create biodiversity. Vegetated open space is criucal to
threatened/endangered species.
If a site will be disturbed during construcuon such as lling
wetlands, vegetauon removal, soil compacuon, then a
restorauon plan should be developed and the project
must develop an Erosion and Sedimentauon Control
Plan based on the requirements in the IHG Integrated
Pest Management, Erosion Control and Landscape
Management Plan.. The restorauon plan can idenufy
areas not to be disturbed, as well as procedures to ensure
that the site is restored. The plan should illustrate the site
before construcuon and the measures that will be taken
during and aer construcuon to restore habitats.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Disturbance outside the building footprint should be
minimised. An ecological disturbance should be miugated
with a site restorauon plan including developing habitats
for plant and animal species. Urban environments
may uulise plazas, courtyards, or even green roofs.
Greenspaces in close proximity to the hotel may have
secure wireless internet access enabling sta to work
remotely. If there is sum cient open space, a plant with
high caloric value could be grown as a biofuel.
Exisng Hotels
Invasive and non-nauve species should be removed from
the exisung hotel grounds and replaced with nauve/
adapuve species. Landscape maintenance pracuces
should minimize the use of chemicals, reduce the
introducuon of pollutants to stormwater runo and
reduce waste.
Advantages:
Nauve/adapuve species require liule or no water and
less maintenance, open space for guests, visitors and
employees can use for recreauon
Disadvantages:
Nauve/adapuve species require a higher capital cost than
tradiuonal grasses

Total Available Points 4 3
Narrative:
The environmental impact of transportauon to and from
the project can be signicantly decreased with planning
and programs that decrease single occupancy vehicle
use. Guests and employees will benet from programs
that oer alternauves to single occupancy vehicles.
Enabling employees and guests to uulise public
transportauon will lead to a reducuon in automobile
polluuon, road development and parking requirements.
Cering ameniues such as discounted or readily available
transit cards can increase ridership in areas where mass
transit is available. Fuel em cient shuules that service
airports, train stauons and mass transit stauons can
be employed in remote locauons to discourage single
occupancy vehicle rental.
Biking instead of driving reduces polluuon, parking
requirements, and provides a healthy alternauve to
tram c. Providing bicycle and fuel-em cient vehicle rentals
on-site will allow guest greater exibility while reducing
car usage.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Before considering a potenual building or site locauon,
the owner should thoroughly invesugate local bus, train,
and light rail transportauon opuons. Parking plans should
incorporate shuule and carpool drop-o areas as well as
provide ample secure bicycle storage for employees and
guest rentals.
Exisng Hotels
All projects can encourage employee use of alternauve
transportauon by giving preferenual parking to fuel
em cient vehicles and carpools, providing bike storage
and showering faciliues, parucipaung in mass transit
discount fare programs and providing easy accessibility
to mass transit.
Guest alternauve transportauons programs, with on-site
rentals, shuule services, maps and educauon, can be
incorporated in part or in full depending on the locauons
resources.
Advantages:
Some countries - such as the UK - have government run
tax break schemes available to employers to promote the
use of bicycles, exercise could also reduce health care
costs, Increased appeal and accessibility of the hotel.
Disadvantages:
Depending on the local market, land use and value may
be higher near public transportauon, shuule services will
increase costs.

1 Code Minimum/No Addiuonal Parking
1 Parking Under Shade
Shade 50% of parking areas with > 29 SRI
materials

1 Pervious/Permeable Paving
Minimum 50% of surface area

1 Recycled Content Paving
Minimum 50% of surface area

Total Available Points 4 1
Narrative:
Large vehicle storage lots cause many other environmental
impacts beyond simply supporung single occupancy
vehicle use. Surface car parking lots limit the amount of
site available for habitat and management of stormwater.
These large impervious surfaces cause excessive runo
which causes ooding, erosion and the introducuon
of pollutants into waterways. The dark surface of the
pavement is also a major contributor to the urban heat
island eect that changes the microclimate of areas. Heat
islands are characterised by a thermal gradient between
developed and undeveloped areas. Heat island impact
can be reduced by shading hardscape and using open grid
paving systems or paving material with a solar reecuve
index (SRI) greater than 29.
These environmental impacts can be reduced by
minimising surface parking and selecung environmentally
preferable materials.
Shading with exisung trees can be an aestheucally
pleasing opuon that incurs no cost. Asphalt has a SRI of
0 while new white concrete has an SRI of 86. If nancial
or local circumstances provide no alternauve to the use
of asphalt, teams should consider the use of recycled
asphalt where locally available and feasible. Paving
opuons that allow for increased stormwater inltrauon
include pervious concrete, open grid pavers, gravel and
structural systems that allow for periodic parking on
grass.
Considerations:
New Hotels
Required parking should be minimised through alternauve
transportauon programs, where applicable. Parking area
should be shaded with trees or placed under a structure
with a high albedo roof. Surface parking should provide
rainwater inltrauon through pervious paving materials.
Materials used to construct new parking should be light
coloured and/or have high recycled content.
Exisng Hotels
Projects with exisung parking spaces should not create
addiuonal parking. Parking should be shaded with trees
and/or resurfaced with a lighter coloured material, such
as white topping.
Advantages:
Greater stormwater inltrauon will reduce strain on
infrastructure and need for detenuon/retenuon areas. In
hot climates providing covered parking areas will increase
driver comfort.
Disadvantages:
Underground parking could cost signicantly more
than surface parking. Pervious pavement materials
and experienced installers may not be available or may
increase costs.

APPENDIX A: Existing Hotels Energy Analysis
Introduction
Issued February 1, 2011 1 Existing Hotels Energy Analysis - Green Engage/Solutions
Green Engage/Soluons for Exisng Hotels contains 40 Level
1 Prerequisite Acons and 10 Level 2 Prerequisite Acons (50
Prerequisites in total). These acons are designed to improve
the sustainable operaons of a hotel across a wide range of
areas including water use, waste management, products and
materials, guest comfort, and parcularly energy use.
Of the 50 Level 1 and Level 2 Prerequisites, 15 have a direct
impact on energy consumpon (11 Level 1 and four Level 2
Acons). This appendix has been developed to show both
the individual impact these 15 Prerequisites can have on
hotel energy use, and to show the overall savings that can be
achieved by reaching Level 1 and Level 2 Cercaon.
To do this, a detailed computer energy model of an 'average'
IHG hotel was created, using actual IHG prototype drawings and
energy use data. The eect of each Prerequisite was calculated
in four climates, represenng the full range of locaons of IHG
properes. Then these Prerequisites were combined to show
how a Level 1 Cered Hotel and Level 2 Cered Hotel would
perform against a typical hotel that hasn't gone through the
Green Engage/Soluons program.
These results can all be found in the Calculaon Sheets. The
diagram to the right shows how these sheets t together.
Detailed instrucons on how to read and interpret these sheets
are provided on the following four pages
For informaon on the climate zones, and help determining
which climate zone your hotel is located in, refer to the Global
Climate Map and Climate Data secons.
While the results of this energy analysis are applicable to hotels
in a wide variety of locaons and brands, obviously in the real
world actual results may vary. If you'd like to look in more
detail at how the energy model was created, and determine
whether these assumpons apply to your parcular property,

Introduction:
A full building energy model was created for this study,
using the energy modelling program eQUEST. This
model is intended to represent a typical IHG hotel with
average energy performance.
The model sem ngs, including construcuon, lighung and
equipment loads, mechanical systems and em ciencies,
are typical of a 10 - 30 year old full service hotel. To
verify the assumpuons used, the energy consumpuon
of the model was entered into Energy Star Target Finder
to ensure that it aligned very closely with the actual
average energy consumpuon of hotels in a number of
dierent locauons.
Every real IHG hotel will dier to some degree from
this energy model. Nevertheless, it was created to
approximate as many IHG hotels as closely as possible.
In general, the results are scalable and can be applied
even to hotels that are very dierent from the model.
For example, implemenung a measure in a hotel that
is twice the size of the model is likely to cost twice as
much but yield twice the annual energy savings, so the
overall result will be the same.
However, in some obvious cases there will be measures
and results that do not apply to some hotels. For
example, using energy em cient guest room refrigerators
would be dim cult for a hotel which does not have guest
room refrigerators.
In other cases, hotels which are completely dierent
from the model can expect results which are also quite
dierent. A resort with acres of landscaped grounds,
several swimming pools and a casino is going to see
energy savings by implemenung the Green Engage Level
1 and Level 2 Prerequisite acuons, but as a percentage
of its total energy consumpuon these savings will look
smaller than for a limited service hotel.
Energy Model Performance
The energy model was validated by entering the
predicted energy consumpuon into Energy Star Target
Finder. This US government-backed tool compares this
number against a database of energy consumpuon data
from a large number of actual hotels, and returns an
Energy Star score, represenung which percenule the
model falls into. For example, and Energy Star score
of 70 means that the model is performing beuer than
70% of hotels. Since the energy model was intended to
represent an average hotel, an Energy Star score of 50
was targeted.
The graph below shows the Energy Star scores for the
model in each of the four climate zones. Note that
the Energy Star score takes into account the eect
climate has on energy performance, so while the energy
consumpuon varied greatly from model to model,
the Energy Star score did not. In fact, the dierence
between the energy model and an Energy Star score of
50 was no more than 4% in any of the climate zones.
Climates Modelled:
The model was run in four climate zones, covering the
full range of locauons of IHGs properues. The following
weather data was used to simulate these four zones:
Hot-Humid: West Palm Beach, Florida
Arid: Phoenix, Arizona
Temperate: New York, New York
Cold-Alpine: Fargo, North Dakota
Slight modicauons were made to the model to adapt it
to each climate zone. For example, extra insulauon was
provided in the cold-alpine zone. Each of these changes
has been noted in the following secuons.
Building Geometry:
The geometry of the model, including allocauon of oor

Capital Costs and Lifetimes:
Capital costs occur in both scenarios of replace or
install now and replace at end of lifeume.
For the rst scenario it should be noted that exisung
products to be replaced immediately are assumed to
be, on average, halfway through their lifeume. Under
straight line depreciauon principles they are therefore
worth half of their original purchase value.
Install now products incur a full capital cost outlay since
these products do not already exist within the hotel.
The second scenario of replace at end of lifeume is
obtained from the US Department of Commerce for the
commercial end-use sector.

Weighted Average Cost of Capital:
The discount rate applied to determine the net present
value (NPV) of each ECM can be dierent for each
project, each franchise and each region. Each new
project should input their own personalized discount
rate.
However, to provide a starung point and a basis for
comparison across regions, we have determined the
weighted average cost of capital (rwacc) for the IHG
Group as a whole. This was calculated using the typical
nancial equauons (r_wacc=r_dd/v+r_ee/v and r_
e=r_f+r_m) with the appropriate inputs from a variety
of sources including the IHG Group 2009 Annual Report,
the US Department of Treasury, MSN Money, CNN and

The table below summarises the overall energy and financial performance for the modelled existing hotel in the hot-humid climate zone against the baseline building. Energy savings for a specific building may
vary based on that building's parameters and financial results may also vary based on local costs and financing structures.
For details regarding each measure refer to the individual calculation pages immediately following this page. For detailed assumptions relating to the energy model, utilities, emission factors, financial inputs,
cost of capital, etc refer to the assumptions section of this book.
Note: CO2 reduction percentages closely match both source energy reductions and annual energy saving cost reductions.
Due to different modelling methodologies existing hotel and new hotel CO2 reduction percentages cannot be compared against each other.

All 75W incandescent bulbs are replaced with 25W
CFLs (100 in total). The average lighting density is
reduced to 0.7 W/sf.
Offices, food preparation, lockers, laundry, mechanical and
electrical spaces contain a total of 200 light bulbs. There is a
50/50 split of 75W incandescent bulbs and 25W CFLs, giving
an average lighting density of 1.4 W/sf. Bulbs operate for 8
hours/day.

The table below summarises the overall energy and financial performance for the modelled existing hotel in the hot-humid climate zone against the baseline building. Energy savings for a specific building may
vary based on that building's parameters and financial results may also vary based on local costs and financing structures.
For details regarding each measure refer to the individual calculation pages immediately following this page. For detailed assumptions relating to the energy model, utilities, emission factors, financial inputs,
cost of capital, etc refer to the assumptions section of this book.
Note: CO2 reduction percentages closely match both source energy reductions and annual energy saving cost reductions.
Due to different modelling methodologies existing hotel and new hotel CO2 reduction percentages cannot be compared against each other.
The stoplight colour legend contained below refers solely to simple payback periods.

The table below summarises the overall energy and financial performance for the modelled existing hotel in the arid climate zone against the baseline building. Energy savings for a specific building may vary
based on that building's parameters and financial results may also vary based on local costs and financing structures.
For details regarding each measure refer to the individual calculation pages immediately following this page. For detailed assumptions relating to the energy model, utilities, emission factors, financial inputs,
cost of capital, etc refer to the assumptions section of this book.
Note: CO2 reduction percentages closely match both source energy reductions and annual energy saving cost reductions.
Due to different modelling methodologies existing hotel and new hotel CO2 reduction percentages cannot be compared against each other.
The stoplight colour legend contained below refers solely to simple payback periods.

Energy Modelling Results Summary Replace at End of Lifetime Existing Hotels
The table below summarises the overall energy and financial performance for the modelled existing hotel in the arid climate zone against the baseline building. Energy savings for a specific building may vary
based on that building's parameters and financial results may also vary based on local costs and financing structures.
For details regarding each measure refer to the individual calculation pages immediately following this page. For detailed assumptions relating to the energy model, utilities, emission factors, financial inputs,
cost of capital, etc refer to the assumptions section of this book.
Note: CO2 reduction percentages closely match both source energy reductions and annual energy saving cost reductions.
Due to different modelling methodologies existing hotel and new hotel CO2 reduction percentages cannot be compared against each other.
The stoplight colour legend contained below refers solely to simple payback periods.

The table below summarises the overall energy and financial performance for the modelled existing hotel in the temperate climate zone against the baseline building. Energy savings for a specific building may
vary based on that building's parameters and financial results may also vary based on local costs and financing structures.
For details regarding each measure refer to the individual calculation pages immediately following this page. For detailed assumptions relating to the energy model, utilities, emission factors, financial inputs,
cost of capital, etc refer to the assumptions section of this book.
Note: CO2 reduction percentages closely match both source energy reductions and annual energy saving cost reductions.
Due to different modelling methodologies existing hotel and new hotel CO2 reduction percentages cannot be compared against each other.
The stoplight colour legend contained below refers solely to simple payback periods.

Base Case
Offices, food preparation, lockers, laundry, mechanical and
electrical spaces contain a total of 200 light bulbs. There is a
50/50 split of 75W incandescent bulbs and 25W CFLs, giving
an average lighting density of 1.4 W/sf. Bulbs operate for 8
hours/day.
All 75W incandescent bulbs are replaced with 25W CFLs
(100 in total). The average lighting density is reduced to
0.7 W/sf.

The table below summarises the overall energy and financial performance for the modelled existing hotel in the temperate climate zone against the baseline building. Energy savings for a specific building may
vary based on that building's parameters and financial results may also vary based on local costs and financing structures.
For details regarding each measure refer to the individual calculation pages immediately following this page. For detailed assumptions relating to the energy model, utilities, emission factors, financial inputs,
cost of capital, etc refer to the assumptions section of this book.
Note: CO2 reduction percentages closely match both source energy reductions and annual energy saving cost reductions.
Due to different modelling methodologies existing hotel and new hotel CO2 reduction percentages cannot be compared against each other.
The stoplight colour legend contained below refers solely to simple payback periods.

The table below summarises the overall energy and financial performance for the modeled existing hotel in the cold-alpine climate zone against the baseline building. Energy savings for a specific building may
vary based on that building's parameters and financial results may also vary based on local costs and financing structures.
For details regarding each measure refer to the individual calculation pages immediately following this page. For detailed assumptions relating to the energy model, utilities, emission factors, financial inputs,
cost of capital, etc refer to the assumptions section of this book.
Note: CO2 reduction percentages closely match both source energy reductions and annual energy saving cost reductions.
Due to different modelling methodologies existing hotel and new hotel CO2 reduction percentages cannot be compared against each other.
The stoplight colour legend contained below refers solely to simple payback periods.

Energy Modelling Results Summary Replace at End of Lifetime Existing Hotels Cold-Alpine
Measure
Green Engage Level 1 Certification
The table below summarises the overall energy and financial performance for the modelled existing hotel in the cold-alpine climate zone against the baseline building. Energy savings for a specific building may
vary based on that building's parameters and financial results may also vary based on local costs and financing structures.
For details regarding each measure refer to the individual calculation pages immediately following this page. For detailed assumptions relating to the energy model, utilities, emission factors, financial inputs,
cost of capital, etc refer to the assumptions section of this book.
Note: CO2 reduction percentages closely match both source energy reductions and annual energy saving cost reductions.
Due to different modelling methodologies existing hotel and new hotel CO2 reduction percentages cannot be compared against each other.
The stoplight colour legend contained below refers solely to simple payback periods.

APPENDIX B: New Hotels Energy Analysis
Introduction
Issued February 1, 2011 1 New Hotels Energy Analysis - Green Engage/Solutions
Green Engage/Soluons for New Hotels contains 55 Level 1
Prerequisite Acons and 15 Level 2 Prerequisite Acons (70
Prerequisites in total). These acons are designed to improve
the sustainable operaons of a hotel across a wide range of
areas including water use, waste management, products and
materials, guest comfort, and parcularly energy use.
In designing a new hotel, there are a number of decisions to
be made about the building and the systems to be put inside
it - decisions that can signicantly impact the energy e ciency
of the hotel. This appendix has been developed to help hotels
make the right design choices for their building type and
climate.
The Energy Charts are a set guidelines covering all aspects of
hotel design, which provide a prescripve path for achieving
energy savings of up to 25% over a typical new hotel.
The Calculaon Sheets contain detailed analysis of the cost and
savings of specic design opons, such as one type of HVAC
system over another, in four dierent climate zones. These
sheets are designed to allow those looking for even greater
savings to quickly and easily weigh up which opon makes the
most sense.
The diagram to the right shows how these sheets t together.
Detailed instrucons on how to read and interpret these sheets
are provided on the following four pages
For informaon on the climate zones, and help determining
which climate zone your hotel is located in, refer to the Global
Climate Map and Climate Data secons.
While the results of this energy analysis are applicable to hotels
in a wide variety of locaons and brands, obviously in the real
world actual results may vary. If you'd like to look in more
detail at how the energy model was created, and determine
whether these assumpons apply to your parcular property,
refer to the Energy Modelling Assumpons secon.

Introduction:
The energy cost associated with operaung a hotel
is dependent upon the buildings layout, climate,
occupancy rate, available faciliues, construcuon
materials, engineering systems, and energy pricing.
Every hotel will have variauons so predicung the energy
savings would require modelling of each hotel.
For this study, a generic hotel, representauve of a
sample IHG Hotel was modelled using Trane Trace. This
is of average size, construcuon, and layout. The model
was run for four dierent climates.
The baseline hotel is of standard construcuon, usage,
and engineering systems as dened by ASHRAE 90.1-
2004, Appendix G. This standard is the minimum
requirements allowed for new buildings in the US and
denes pracuce for calculaung a buildings energy
savings. This is also the acceptable method used by
LEED to dene energy savings required by Energy and
Atmosphere Prerequisite 1 and Credit 1.
The ndings from the energy report are presented in
the prescripuve measures charts. Use of these charts
will allow IHG to build a hotel that is approximately
15% more energy em cient than the ASHRAE 90.1-2004
baseline hotel for buildings similar to those modelled.
Variauons in climate, building geometry, faciliues,
occupancy and building construcuon will produce
dierent energy savings. To fully realise a propertys
energy savings, an energy model should be done for that
specic project.
The following assumpuons were used to create a
baseline hotel for this study.
Climates Modelled:
The model was run in four climate zones, covering the
full range of locauons of IHGs properues. The following
weather data was used to simulate these four zones:
Hot-Humid: West Palm Beach, Florida
Arid: Phoenix, Arizona
Temperate: New York, New York
Cold-Alpine: Fargo, North Dakota
Building Geometry:
6 oors consisung of guest rooms only
20 guest rooms on each oor, all with at least one
exterior wall
Each room approximately 45 square meters or 484
square feet
Each oor is square (having equal length exposures
in the north, south, east, and west direcuons)
Exterior walls have 40% glazing and are 60%
opaque
Building Envelope Construction:
Walls are 4 lightweight block with 4 insulauon
Wall insulauon: based on ASHRAE minimum in

The four base models were built with the listed
construcuon and assumpuon. Addiuonal test models were
run with energy em cient electrical systems, improved
mechanical systems and designs, and improved envelope
construcuon. These opuons were used to develop the
Credited Acuons outlined in this report.

case and modelled case assumpuons are listed in the document Energy Model Assumpuons at the front of this document. Deviauon from the modelled hotel may result in a dierent energy savings
percentage. This chart may not be applicable to exisung hotels due to exisung constraints. If the table list ASHRAE 90.1-2004 or beuer for a component, meet either ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004 or the
local code requirements, whichever is more stringent. In the event that local code is more stringent than the benchmark prescripuve, always refer to local code.

The table below summarises the overall energy and financial performance for the modeled new hotel in the hot-humid climate zone against the baseline building. Energy savings for
a specific building may vary based on that building's parameters and financial results may also vary based on local costs and financing structures.
For details regarding each measure refer to the individual calculation pages immediately following this page. For detailed assumptions relating to the energy model, utilities, emission
factors, financial inputs, cost of capital, etc refer to the assumptions section of this book.
Note: CO2 reduction percentages closely match both source energy reductions and annual energy savings cost reductions.
Due to different modeling methodologies existing hotel and new hotel CO2 reduction percentages cannot be compared against each other.
The colour key contained below refers solely to simple payback periods.

The table below summarises the overall energy and financial performance for the modeled new hotel in the arid climate zone against the baseline building. Energy savings for a
specific building may vary based on that building's parameters and financial results may also vary based on local costs and financing structures.
For details regarding each measure refer to the individual calculation pages immediately following this page. For detailed assumptions relating to the energy model, utilities, emission
factors, financial inputs, cost of capital, etc refer to the assumptions section of this book.
Note: CO2 reduction percentages closely match both source energy reductions and annual energy savings cost reductions.
Due to different modeling methodologies existing hotel and new hotel CO2 reduction percentages cannot be compared against each other.
The colour key contained below refers solely to simple payback periods.

Energy Modelling Results Summary New Hotels Temperate
The table below summarises the overall energy and financial performance for the modeled new hotel in the temperate climate zone against the baseline building. Energy savings for
a specific building may vary based on that building's parameters and financial results may also vary based on local costs and financing structures.
For details regarding each measure refer to the individual calculation pages immediately following this page. For detailed assumptions relating to the energy model, utilities, emission
factors, financial inputs, cost of capital, etc refer to the assumptions section of this book.
Note: CO2 reduction percentages closely match both source energy reductions and annual energy savings cost reductions.
Due to different modeling methodologies existing hotel and new hotel CO2 reduction percentages cannot be compared against each other.
The colour key contained below refers solely to simple payback periods.

Energy Modelling Results Summary New Hotels Cold-Alpine
The table below summarises the overall energy and financial performance for the modeled new hotel in the cold-alpine climate zone against the baseline building. Energy savings for
a specific building may vary based on that building's parameters and financial results may also vary based on local costs and financing structures.
For details regarding each measure refer to the individual calculation pages immediately following this page. For detailed assumptions relating to the energy model, utilities, emission
factors, financial inputs, cost of capital, etc refer to the assumptions section of this book.
Note: CO2 reduction percentages closely match both source energy reductions and annual energy savings cost reductions.
Due to different modeling methodologies existing hotel and new hotel CO2 reduction percentages cannot be compared against each other.
The colour key contained below refers solely to simple payback periods.

APPENDIX C: LEED Documentation
The IHG Green Engage/Soluons program is LEED
Pre-Cered. Many of the Prerequisites and Credited
Acons in this program align with credits in LEED for
Exisng Buildings (EB) 2009, meaning that a hotel that
achieves Green Engage/Soluons Cercaon has
already cked o a number of LEED requirements and is
well on its way to achieving LEED cercaon.
Running your hotel in a sustainable way is not enough
to achieve LEED cercaon; you also have to prove
it by maintaining policies, calculaons, and other
documentaon.
To help with this process, there are a number of Green
Engage/Soluons Level 1 and Level 2 Prerequisite
Acons which require hotels to download, edit and
adopt various sustainable policies, which are based on
LEED credits and prerequisites. In many cases, these
policies come with calculators which are designed to
help hotel managers track their progress and earn
addional credits.
The complete list of these policies and calculators is
provided to the right. These documents are available to
download in editable Word and Excel formats.
