Frequently asked energy questions for hospitality and venues

Where is energy used most in hospitality and venue operations?

Energy is mainly used for refrigeration, kitchen equipment, lighting and air conditioning. Hotels and large venues also rely heavily on lifts, laundry services and heating and cooling systems that run for long hours.

Why do hospitality energy bills spike during peak seasons?

Bills increase when refrigeration, HVAC and kitchen equipment run for longer periods during busy seasons. Hot weather also pushes cooling systems harder, which increases electricity usage and demand charges.

How can small hospitality venues reduce their energy costs?

Small venues can reduce costs by comparing energy plans regularly, switching off idle equipment, upgrading to efficient kitchen or refrigeration appliances, managing HVAC settings and reviewing contract terms before expiry.

What drives high energy usage in large hotels and entertainment venues?

Large hotels and venues have high consumption from commercial kitchens, HVAC systems, lighting, lifts, refrigeration and laundry operations. Running these systems at the same time can significantly increase peak demand charges.

How can multi-site hospitality groups improve energy efficiency?

Multi-site groups can align contract end dates, benchmark usage across venues, review tariffs, upgrade older equipment and use energy insights to understand demand patterns. This helps reduce both operating costs and peak load penalties.
