• Increase the temperature of the chiller water of the air conditioner by two degrees, thereby reducing electricity usage.
• Keep the temperature of all hotel guest rooms at 24-26 degrees.
• Turn off all electrical facilities before leaving the office.
• Our hotel realizes that the waste heat generated by the air-conditioning system may cause harm to the environment. For environmental protection, the waste heat can be through the heat exchanger, so that the heat energy can be used in the hot water system to preheat the cold water through the heat exchanger, and it can result in gas and electricity saving.
• All ILB have been converted to use LED lights
