We focus on energy conservation and environmentally friendly practices in the hotel industry. Our standardized efforts aim to save energy in guest rooms.
Our numerical data reflects the impact of energy conservation and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2e) from energy usage in guest rooms. Examples include utilizing natural light, LED bulbs, and room temperature-controlled drinking water. Our hotel has achieved significant savings, reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by up to 10,882 kilograms CO2e per year. Additionally, we have saved 14,979.6 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year.
This is equivalent to greenhouse gas emissions avoided by:
