Notas del editor
- Thanks for having me GET STRAIGHT INTO IT
- TRC COSTS – Discuss the costs associated with energy, water and waste EASY WINS – Some ideas SPEND MONEY – Practices requiring investment MAJOR INVESTMENT – MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
- Rising cost of electricity – historical lack of investment – rising demand ETS and GST increasing prices – continuing trend
- Vary across NZ/ bins Environmental cost
- Small group (13%) are ‘dark green’ Remainder will only purchase if similar benefits, convenience or cost Low GREEN PRICE POINT In context of today’s discussion - TOLERANCE
- ESTIMATES BASED ON DOMESTIC USE AND KNOWLEDGE OF MOTELS – DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE Lighting 12% Appliances 30% Hot water 30% Heating 25% Other
- INTRODUCTION Two major types – New Generation Halogen, CFL HALOGEN – last 2ce as long as icandescant…30% energy saving…dimable…instant light…all different watts and sizes. CFL – 70% more efficient than standard – but not appropriate for everywhere.
- UNCESSARY LIGHTS – E.G. Different areas of the business; Pole light LIGHTING DESIGN – Important to consider if you are undertaking refurbishment. Talk to lighting expert. Check out Right Light website SENSORS – can be useful for public areas. Can go from $65 to $100+ so best in high-use areas. Good to get an expert to help – they can be annoying!
- FLOW RATE: Range from 6L to 18L per minute Above 12 is really worth doing something INVEST: $85 ea. Low flow heads SAVINGS… Flow restricters – good but compromise shower power Extreme case from 18L – 6L x 1 shower a day = $440 p/a. But actual based on an energy audit of 12 room motel was $840 p/a for $1020 investment = ROI 1.2ys Potentially more based on flow, use, size.
- INTRODUCE SHUT DOWN – Save up to 4% of total energy bill (domestic) Telly and cd on standby uses as much as a light bulb Sky decoder – if it is an issue don’t turn it off. Turning off does not damage or use more power. TOWEL RAIL Turn off when guests are not staying in the room – let them turn it on FRIDGES 3rd largest user of energy after water heating and heating. One in five is not working properly and one in ten needs replacing Check the seals - TORCH Make sure it is properly ventilated COMPUTER TO STANDBY Screen saver uses electricity Laptop uses 5x less electricity Standby is OFF Not bad for the computer HOT WATER Second biggest user of energy 60 degrees (in the tank) Laundry to cold – doesn’t present any problems for other operators Savings only including guest laundry and towels – linen goes out SAVINGS – BASED ON 12 ACTUAL ROOM MOTEL Click At least $511 per year from easy wins– potentially more
- IN ROOM RECYCLING Most have staff separate – Space main issue BUY IN BULK – lead on to purchasing policy POTENTIAL SAVINGS based on motel reducing waste by a third
- WATER – minimal savings in most areas but important for environment TOILETS – use a 3rd of water Dual flush or just a brick – IN THE CISTERN!! GARDEN Buy a hose trigger ($25 from garden shop – get what you pay for) Plan plants that don’t need much water Water during the evening (if convenient)
- Based on a 12 room motel that is yet to implement some of the basic stuff. Could easily be more if you have a larger motel.
- MAIN ENERGY USERS LIFE TIME OPERATING COST consider when replacing old appliances OTHER… ALSO CONSIDER SIZE AND USE TYPE. ENERGY RATING ON ALL APPLIANCES – STAR IS THE BEST heat pump could cost $150 less than other models per year to run
- THESE ALL BASED ON DOMESTIC SETTING – Motels might be more effiicient in some cases INSULATION – varies hugely. HEATING A heat pump is the most efficient – Night store not an option. Heat pump attractive for guests Best if you have some rooms that are used more SOLAR HOT WATER: investment = $7000, ROI = 12 - 14 ys in a domestic setting. Could be better in motel setting – depending on configuration SOLAR POOL HEATING
- PAPER WORK BENEFITS (Drawbacks are obvious) Makes your initiatives easier by standardising them, communicating them Enables you to monitor the effects of your initiatives Is useful for Qualmark WHAT EXACTLY? Describe SOPs Supplier Register and Monitoring in more detail in next slides EXTRA CREDIT Policy Action plan Purchasing policy …Not going to save money – a story for another day!!
- Supplier Register Just an example! Something that you build over time. Just a good place to keep this information. Can just be one column on top of existing supplier register…
- EXAMPLE OF MONITORING – principles quite simple
- USEFUL TO MEASURE PROGRESS OVER TIME
- ABILITY TO MONITOR USING GUEST NIGHTS – MORE ACCURATE REFLECTION OF EFFICIENCY
- WASTE AND WATER
- ECOSMART ELECTRICIANS – new programme…no personal experience with them but good idea MORE FORMAL AUDITS AVAILABLE stewardship WEBSITES – EECA, consumer build, rightlight Subsidies: TIA offering subsidies to members using less than 60k of electricity. Pilot programme only in AKL and WTN. May roll out. Up to $1000 assessment; then 1/3 funding of work completed up to $2k. TOTAL UP TO $3k. TALK TO OTHER OPERATORS
- QUICK WINS Can easily save $2,000 with ROI of less than 1.5 years. INVESTMENT – future proofing PAPER WORK…if appropriate? SEEK FURTHER INFORMATION Tried to remain positive..but… AVOID IMPRACTICAL SOLUTIONS [Go back to links slide…]
