Castle Green Hotel – Sustainable Energy Transformation
Challenge
Castle Green Hotel aimed to reduce its environmental impact and operational costs associated with energy consumption. The management was particularly interested in solutions that would not only decrease carbon output but also enhance control over energy use throughout the property.
Solution
To meet these goals, Q Energy, in collaboration with MJS Energy, embarked on a comprehensive energy overhaul for the hotel:
- 60 kW Heat Pump Installation: A high-capacity heat pump was installed to significantly reduce the hotel’s reliance on carbon-intensive energy sources.
- Smart Controls and BMS Integration: Advanced smart controls were implemented alongside sub-meters connected to the Building Management System (BMS). This setup allows for precise control and monitoring of energy consumption across different areas of the hotel.
- Battery Storage System: A 15 kW/36 kWh battery was installed to store excess energy, providing a reliable power supply and enabling energy use optimization.
- Sub-Metering for Detailed Monitoring: Sub-meters were installed to monitor key appliances, including the heat pump, feeding real-time data into the Q Energy Platform for effective energy management.
Results
The installation of these systems provided the hotel with:
- Reduced Carbon Emissions: The heat pump significantly cut the hotel’s carbon footprint by replacing traditional heating methods with a cleaner alternative.
- Enhanced Energy Monitoring and Control: The BMS and smart controls allowed for real-time adjustments, optimizing energy use and reducing waste.
- Cost Savings: Initial reports indicate noticeable reductions in energy costs due to more efficient use and management of resources.
Impact
The project not only bolstered Castle Green Hotel’s sustainability credentials but also showcased how integrated energy solutions can lead to substantial operational efficiencies in the hospitality sector.
