• Further implementation of boiler operation time control, which saved about 6000 litres monthly
• Retrofit of 180 T8 fluorescent tubes (1200 mm length), which operate 20 hours per day, with T5 fluorescent tubes equipped with “save it easy” energy saving adaptor (28 W) and disablement of the electromagnetic ballasts. This has helped to save 22% of electricity compared with original lighting fitting (36 W)
• Installation of six motion sensors to control ON/OFF lighting automatically in six staff toilets, which operate 24 hours per day. This has helped to save up to 30% of electricity compared with local switch control
• Installation of energy saving spot lights (9 W) in six newly renovated staff toilets, which operate 24 hours per day. This has helped to save about 55% of electricity compared with conventional spot lights (20 W)
• Installation of 120 (20 W) energy saving lamps instead of conventional spot lights (80 W) at planter, which saved up to 75% of electricity compared with traditional lighting fitting
• A total of 132 lamps at the heart of the hotel, which exceed the standard lighting levels of 114 kWh/day, have been de-lamped. The energy saving is around 33% of the total consumption of existing installation
• Retrofit of 200 (3W) tungsten lights at The Lobby Lounge, which operate 14 hours per day, with 0.25W LED lights. This has helped to save 92% of electricity compared with original lighting fitting
• Temporary suspension of two out of four services lifts for six hours per day during off-peak hours has saved 197.4 kWh / day. The saving is around 13% compared with existing system
• Reprogramming of hotel heating system activation when ambient temperature drops to 160C instead of 180C, which has saved 1085 MW of heating load last winter. The energy saving is around 38 % which compare with existing setting
• As there was no heat pump in the hotel initially, all wasted heat from the chillers was discharged into the sea and hot water was provided by boilers. In January 2008, heat pumps were installed to change the form of the wasted heat dissipated from the chillers to hot water supply, which saved 111,000 litres of diesel compared with year 2007
• Installation of “Door Opening Alarm” for all walk-in fridges in kitchens to alert staff to close the doors of the fridges properly if they are ajar. It has prevented energy leakage and helps to prolong the life span of the fridges
• In December 2006, the rooftop signage was replaced with a LED one to save electricity consumption by 10 times when compared with the conventional neon light. This was also found to be more environmental friendly to the ozone
• In August 2005, the hotel neon light signages at the hotel entrances were replaced with LED to save electricity consumption by 10 times
• Since 1997, we have participated in tree planting campaign and have planted over 1,000 trees
• On-going study to replace other lights with LED ones in the hotel areas
