Major energy saving and environmental protection practices:
Application of energy saving light fittings
Application of seawater-cooled chillers and heat pumps
Increase temperature setback of chillers
Application of variable speed drive for water pumps, air-con units and elevators
BMS control system to cut off lighting and switch air-conditioning to minimum in vacant guestrooms
Use of water-based paint with minimal VOC content
Educate the staff on environmentally friendly behaviour
Encourage staff to walk up 2 floors and down 3 floors in order to save electricity consumption of elevators
Turn off lights in offices, restaurant outlets and kitchens after operating hours
Switch off air-conditioning and lights in vacant meeting rooms
