REDUCE means: You can saveenergy through low or no cost measures like peak load management, good housekeeping practices, technical adaptations, guest involvement.

REPLACE means: Old technologieswill be replaced by new, moreenergy-efficient ones.

REDESIGN means: The project team will showcasea flagship cottage that is carbon neutral and energy-self-sufficient as a model for future development.

How expensive is it to go Green?

≈ 1,700 homes= Equivalent Consumption of 41,870 homes

≈ 150 homes= Equivalent Consumption of 3,890 homes

as per Approtech Asia (2005), one home consumes 423 kWh/yr

as per LWUA Philippines (2005), one low income home consisting of 5 people consumes 122,275 L/yr

Energy Savings per year = 17,712,976.20 kWh

Water Savings per year = 476,824,036.43 L

Avoided Emissions per year = 11,860,373.72 kg CO2≈ 350 cars

= Equivalent Emissions of 5,640 cars

as per EPA (2008), one passenger vehicle emits 2,100 kg CO2/yr

Fuel Savings per year = 1,776,733.73 L= Equivalent Fuel Consumption of 2,160 cars

as per EPA (2008), one car with a fuel economy of 8.2 L per 100 km and driving range of 10,000 km consumes 820 L/yr

≈ 100 cars

Example: Painting the roof

• Absorptivity(colour) of the external surfaces Light coloured : 0,3 – (painted surfaces)Medium coloured: 0,6 – (surfaces which are not painted periodically)

19

Dark colored roofs should be replaced with light colored ones.

Dark colors absorb the sun’s heat.

An annual saving of 17,712,976.20 kWh represent 40% of the energy produced by the power plant! In other words, one resort saves 116,532.74kWh per

year and therefore 367 hotels and resorts implementing similar demand side measures would be able to eliminate the need for a new power plant of the

size in question

15 MW Coal Power Plant

=

Savings of 367 Resorts/Hotels

= 15 resorts/hotels
