| 520 | |b Due to the economic crisis, hoteliers are nowadays more environmentally conscious than ever because it can cost far more to operate a lodging facility if it is not sustainable. Hotels use huge amounts of energy, therefore, investments in more efficient energy use can lead to significant reductions in energy consumption, operating costs and energy bills. Some innovative energy management systems could cut energy costs for hotel owners by up to 65%. Egyptian hotels are facing a tide of rising costs and increased competition. The challenge of inflating energy costs can be eased, or even eliminated, by making energy efficiency and environmental protection a core element of management practice that can lead to sustainable competitive advantage. Hotels can effectively reduce energy use without compromising the high quality of services for guests and in the process benefit from cost savings. Managing energy use in hotels chain is the first step towards this. Energy management helps improve the bottom line and holds down operating costs. Controlling costs is a key to profitability in the hotel industry allowing hotels to route resultant savings toward fulfilling other requirements including purchasing additional amenities, staff salary increases, etc. The study included in this paper intended to identify the energy saving systems in the 4 and 5 star hotels of Cairo, Egypt as well as explore whether these systems reduce the energy and consequently the operating costs of the hotels. Moreover, the findings were compared against the industry averages and a number of solutions for energy efficiency and cost reduction are suggested. Simple green practices (such as energy-efficient lighting) could contribute in costs controlling, as well as in environmental sustainability. Other cost-effective solutions suggested to facility managers include: the adoption of eco-labeling and Training of the hotel managers and their staff can lead to better understanding, energy saving and certainly increased profitability. | ||
