Green Sustainability
Green Hotelier Awards, Green Hotelier Asia Pacific 2016The implementation of our programme in Sydney was primarily steered towards energy, water and waste. To implement benchmarks, it is important to be able to measure your usage. The installation of 65 sub-meters for energy and water was one of the best investments made for this process. Similarly, waste audits have also helped. The support from our General Manager, Joerg Bocekeler, and our Owning Company, Mulpha, has also had a tremendous assistance to the shared goal. It is very important that you work as a partnership with your owners, to build up a relationship by supplying them with any success and not being shy of reporting any results that did not meet target.The hotel has achieved nearly 50% savings on electricity, approximately 30% on gas and 30% on water. This has been achieved by implementing various projects, consisting of a Building Management System incorporating good operational strategies, upgrading two high efficiency chillers installation of variable speed drives, power factor correction, voltage stabilisation, total LED retrofits, fluorescent conversions, preventive maintenance programmes, boiler fuel optimisation, high efficiency shower heads and regulators to water faucets, improvement in flushing and most importantly staff engagement to control the human element.Other projects include waste management, processing of food waste, chemicals used and air emissions. One of the other highlights of our programme was initiating “Trees on the Roof” programme, while this was very successful, due to other business pressures and losing the roof space, it had to be terminated. The programme included growing seedlings on our roof space and then taking voluntary staff to a reserve that was allocated to the hotel, to plant these seedlings. We started off with 5,000 seedlings, although only about 750 survived and this programme lasted about five years with various plantings.
