Project Description

The Project proposal introduces benchmarking of Operational Energy Management to efficiently

utilization of energy to the different areas in Resort. Benchmarking helps the company to reduce the
energy expenditures to approximately 30%. In Benchmarking of Operational Energy Management
will adapt the widely used standard operating procedures and consideration for Air Conditioning and
Swimming Pools.

This project proposal also helps the local business in Resorts and Hotels who had the same services
offered to the clients, local and foreigners and communities. Resort is one of the hospitability
industries need economic development opportunities such as employment and business to
individuals, group of people wanted to ventures. Sustainable development in this particular must be
considered to render the quality services offered for different purposes therefore the energy
expenditures must be reduced without sacrificing the quality services offered by their facilities.

The government will propose a bill for local codes for swimming pool design, operations and
maintenance. During the design phase and issuance of permit to construct, the local government
units have standard requirements for swimming pool constructions, operation and maintenance.

Significance

The Resorts is one of the hospitability industries has no evidence of study in relation to
benchmarking of Operational Energy Management or no proper implementation of recommended
energy efficiency and energy conservation by the government agency or provided by Republic Act
particular Energy Conservation Act of 2012.

The Energy use in Resorts most of them provided by power or utility companies that taken from
power plants that uses fossil fuels. This energy use has an impact in resorts expenditures varies in a
short of time due to the volatility of the cost in international market of fuels, local economic
situations due to the facts that all goods and services costs also varies with the uncertainties.

The resorts have different facilities that serve the clients/customers directly related to utilization of
energy such as:

1. Public Areas like Restaurants, Meeting Rooms, Reception Halls, Lobby, Bars, Swimming Pools
and Sauna, etc. The places that has a high rate of energy uses from different loads internal
(occupants, lighting, appliance and equipments) and external loads (outdoor environments,
infiltration and Ventilations).
2. Resorts also provide Guest Room Areas (Bedrooms, Bathrooms/Showers and Toilets) for
individual, groups and families for different purposes that utilizing variable energy loads.
3. The Service Areas such as Offices, Kitchens, Store Rooms, Laundry, Staff Facilities, Machine
Rooms and other technical sections, these are the some areas requiring proper energy
utilizations.
The utility power supplier uses energy resources from such as fossil fuels, geothermal, hydropower,
solar, natural gas, coal, etc. Some of the energy resources contributes to greenhouse gas effect and
pollute the environment. Recommend the alternative source of energy as per government energy
compliance to conserve energy and reduce the effect of greenhouse gas emissions to global climate
change.

The Energy Management System or ISO 50001 - Similar to other management system standards
published by the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO), ISO 50001 is based on the
PLAN-DO-CHECK-ACT approach to achieve continual improvement in energy performance. The
relationship between its main elements is illustrated below.

Figure 1: Main elements of an Energy Management System

Four Steps Process for Energy Management System

1. Plan. Take stock of the current state of your energy management practices, then set
objectives and define the actions that will improve your energy performance.
2. Do. Follow your plan and begin to take actions that will achieve your desired objectives.
3. Check. Monitor the success of each action on an ongoing basis.
4. Update. Assess the progress toward your plan by reviewing its contents and making changes
at least annually
Benefits of implementing best practices Organizations that adopt energy management best practices
are rewarded in two key ways:

1. Energy , cost savings and Risk mitigation

a. Providing guidance on how to benchmark, measure, document and report corporate energy
use;
b. Helping to achieve energy use reduction and carbon emissions in a systematic way;
c. Creating a clear picture of current energy use status, based on which new goals and targets
can be set;
d. Evaluating and prioritizing the implementation of new energy-efficient technologies and
measures;
2. Indirect benefits
a. Providing a framework to promote energy efficiency throughout supply chain;
b. Making better use of energy consuming assets, thus identifying potentials to reduce
maintenance costs or expand capacity;
c. Demonstrating to the stakeholders that corporate commitment to comply with their best
practice to protect the environment.
