Abstract
Due to fluctuating energy prices and ever-increasing uncertainties in supply, the industrial and commercial sectors are poised to speed up introduction of energy saving mechanisms. Having badly hit by recent economic recession, the hotel industry has ever more reasons to save energy. A typical star-class hotel was chosen to conduct the energy usage optimization study presented in this paper. The hotel’s energy consumption pattern data was collected and analysed. Based on sensor information and manage information system data, cooling load requirement is correlated with the number of occupied rooms. It is shown that substantial savings can be achieved by introduction of wing operation to the hotel room allocation system. Moreover, the findings from the present study can be incorporated into a building management system (BMS) when it comes to automating the wing operations.
