Carbon Emission Reduction Measures and Strategies
- Energy Efficiency Improvements: Use high-efficiency equipment and lighting systems (such as LED lights). Regularly maintain equipment to ensure operational efficiency.
- Waste Management: Implement waste sorting and recycling programs. Reduce the use of single-use products and promote reusable alternatives.
- Employee Training and Engagement: Conduct environmental awareness training to encourage employee participation in carbon reduction activities. Establish internal reward mechanisms to promote energy-saving behaviors.
- System Upgrades: Converted the gas water heating system to an electric water heating system to reduce carbon emissions. Replaced centrifugal chillers with VRV air conditioning systems to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.
Case Study: Enhancing Energy Efficiency with VRV System Upgrades
During a recent decarbonisation project at our hotel, we upgraded all areas with VRV systems, phasing out older chiller systems. This transition resulted in a remarkable 25% decrease in overall energy consumption for heating and cooling purposes. The VRV systems’ innovative design and smart controls allowed for optimised performance, adjusting output based on real-time demand and enhancing energy efficiency.
This initiative not only improved the indoor environmental quality for the building occupants but also significantly reduced our carbon footprint, showcasing our commitment to sustainable practices and environmentally responsible operations.
