CLEAR GAINS FROM EFFICIENCY
2016 Carbon Emissions, Energy & Water Consumption based on occupied room night
It simply makes good business sense!
Amari Don Muang Airport Bangkok
Over the past 5 years, the hotel has
invested in
• an upgrade of 20-year old chillers
• water cycling plants
• high-efficiency heat-pumps replacing
older diesel boilers
and reduced both energy consumption
and its CO2 emissions.
Saving :
Electricity THB 3,100,000.-
Gas THB 3,300.000.-
Water THB 720,000.-
Consumption was down by :
Electricity 17,000 kWh
Gas 101,000 kg
Water 27 million litres
Amari Watergate Bangkok
In 2016 :
Replacing 16,000 less efficient bulbs with new LED
lighting
Replacing old air-conditioning units with new solar /
electricity hybrid systems
Installation of ONYX’s first solar photo voltaic (PV)
power plant
Comparison of consumption between Oct. 2015 and Oct.2016
• Electricity down by 95,000 kWh (more than 10%)
Financial saving of THB 340,000.-
• Water was down by 1.8 million litres (more than 12%)
“By 2030, the world might face a 40% global demand/supply gap of accessible, reliable
water supply for economic development. The private sector is a major water user and
often completely dependent on water for production and service delivery. The Hospitality
industry is one of these where water plays a determining part in everyday operations and
potential growth.”
