Summary Report of Energy Usage/Consumption Analysis for Six Hotels/Motels

摘要

An analysis of energy consumption and energy use profiles for six hotels and motels of various types (transient, convention, resort) located in different geographical areas of the United States is summarized. Data include information collected at the six demonstration sites only during the heating and cooling seasons. Data show where the energy is used, how much is used and when it is used. A brief examination of strategies for reducing energy consumption is also included. Major hotel/motel functions are identified as: guest rooms, public areas, kitchens, dining areas, laundries, pools, elevators, and others. Energy use categories examined are: space heating, space cooling, domestic water heating, cooking, laundry dryers, lighting, HVAC auxiliaries, elevators, and others. The six hotels/motels are located in Vermont, Minnesota, Arizona, Georgia, and two in Texas. The building configuration, facilities, energy-using systems, and climatic conditions are described for each site. (ERA citation 07:059681)
