Abstract
Description
This paper deals with the study of energy audit of four storey hotel building in Cromwell, CT (USA). Energy is the prime mover of economic growth. Water and energy resources are vital to the substance of a modern economy. The demand for energy is increasing because of technological development, atomization, and growing agricultural activities. The rising energy and utility bills have been the focus of serious concerns due to the pressure it has placed on people. Demand is more than supply because of a scarcity of resources; our desire is greater than the available resources.As per the report of Energy Star building manual the United States' 47,000 hotels spend an average of $2,196 per available room each year on energy, an amount that represents about 6 percent of all hotel operating costs.[2] The growing population and improvements in living standards have resulted in rising consumption of natural resources. An internal energy audit is an assessment of how much energy is used and identifying where it is used. Based on the research data, we can find out simple ways for saving energy in the Hotel building. The preliminary information like power requirement of each unit is estimated and the utility data is collected from the last two years with the occupancy level. The audit identifies the energy usage and losses at each point of use within and around the facility. This paper is focused on the energy audit of a four storey hotel building at a medium level and possible ways of energy use reduction in the Hotel.
