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 years, the 75F solution delivered remarkable results: a total of 230742 kWh was saved on the Chiller Plant and Air Handling Units (AHUs), achieving an impressive 7% reduction compared to the baseline benchmark. Through collaborative efforts, we've reduced CO2 emissions by an impressive 182 tons-equivalent to planting 2700 trees and that can power 261 homes in India.
Collaborative Success
Our hospitality energy optimization project succeeded due to the support from key stakeholders from Hiranandani Hotel and Tata Power. Mr. B. L. Walunj, Mr. Kundan Attarde, and Mr. Simon from Hiranandani Hotel, along with Mr. Amit Jain, Mr. Arpan Chhaya, and Ms. Ritika Jain from Tata Power, provided invaluable support and expertise. This collaborative effort highlights the power of partnership and collective action in driving sustainable solutions and achieving mutual success in the hospitality industry.
