Opport unities for Energy Savings in Hotels through Bus-technology based building energy management systems

摘要

The investigation of a sample of 280 German hotels has provided a detailed insight in the energy consumption structure of hotels and the relevant devices. Electricity accounts for one third of the energy consumption but two third of the energy bill. Yet significant differences between small and large hotels as well as between city and country hotels appear, e.g. saunas can be found both in city and country hotels whereas swimming pools ate mostly located in the country side.
