MELUHA THE FERN HOTEL
Download Case StudyChallenge:
In the hospitality industry, managing energy costs is a significant challenge, directly affecting efficiency and profitability. Before implementing our solution, the hotel was faced with rising energy expenses and operational inefficiencies. Post-COVID financial uncertainties made upfront investments daunting, so we introduced an Opex model. Our retrofit-friendly solution seamlessly integrated with existing operations, minimizing disruptions and prioritizing energy-saving measures.
Solution:
Installation and Execution
Installing and commissioning HVAC systems at a hotel near Mumbai International Airport was challenging due to the high occupancy rates. The 75F and TPTCL team identified energy-saving opportunities and planned shutdowns during non-peak hours to minimize disruption. Coordinating closely with the client and the chiller OEM, they used 75F’s rapid-implementation, retrofit-friendly IoT-based BMS suite to optimize HVAC operations. During brief AHU shutdowns, the team efficiently deployed all necessary solutions. A thorough energy audit and detailed energy accounting ensured optimal performance and maximized energy savings, underscoring their commitment to enhancing efficiency and reducing operational costs.
Results:
Energy Savings
The Energy Savings installation began in early July 2023 and concluded by September 2023, requiring just 90 days for installation and commissioning. A key enhancement was the integration of remote monitoring solutions, granting real-time data access for efficient control and improved occupant comfort. Moreover, the remote monitoring capabilities played a pivotal role in optimizing energy usage, resulting in substantial savings. Over the following 6 months, the 75F solution delivered remarkable results: a total of 54,540 kWh was saved on the Chiller Plant and Air Handling Units (AHUs), achieving an impressive 8% reduction compared to the baseline benchmark. Through collaborative efforts, we've reduced CO2 emissions by an impressive 43,087 tons – equivalent to planting 638.12 trees.
