Introduction Prior studies commissioned by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) have identified several sectors with untapped potential for solar water heating, one of the major sector identified is the hospitality sector. India is rapidly becoming a preferred destination for tourism, both International as well as Domestic, with an annual growth of about 15%. The hospitality sector is a major consumer of energy in different forms for various end-uses. There is significant scope for direct energy saving as well as energy generation through the installation of solar water heating and other renewable energy technologies (RETs). These technologies can meet the energy requirements for cooking, air heating, drying, water heating, steam and electricity production. They can not only bring about savings but also substitute conventional electricity or fossil fuels resulting in a cleaner environment. Promotion of renewable energy systems in the hospitality sector serves twin purposes, not only does it helps address the issues of cleaner energy use but also helps to advertise these systems widely through the hotel guests. The demand for hot water in hotels is high throughout the year, this makes solar water heating more economical in this sector as compared to those sectors where hot water may only be required seasonally. Accordingly, a project for a “Campaign on Solar Water Heating and other Renewable Energy Technologies in the Hospitality Sector” was designed by MNRE with assistance of UNDP-GEF under its National programme on Solar Water Heating Systems. This project was jointly carried out by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and Federation of Hotels and Restaurants Associations of India (FHRAI) on behalf of MNRE, Government of India. The main objective of the project is to promote and accelerate the application of Solar Water Heating and other RETs by developing and implementing a nationwide campaign for the hospitality sector covering the hotel and catering industry. The main technologies identified for the hospitality sector are solar water heating; solar photovoltaics; biogas generation; solar thermal concentrators; and solar passive architecture/green building design. TERI had been interacting with hotels and restaurants across the country so as to understand their energy requirements. Based on the findings of this study, several tools, checklists and technology manuals were prepared to help the hospitality sector find the cost and size of relevant renewable energy systems. To discuss these project outputs with the prospective users, TERI organized three regional awareness workshops in Pune, Bengaluru and Kolkata during June-July, 2011 and finally a national conference in October, 2011. The aim of these workshops/conferences was: •

To create an awareness about applications of renewables and energy conservation measures in the hospitality sector

•

To demonstrate the tools that have been developed to help the sector in identifying potential of such interventions in their establishments

•

To brief the participants on the relevant policies and programmes of MNRE

In all these workshops, participants were very interactive and were keen to study the feasibility of using Solar Water Heaters and bio-waste to energy technologies at their facilities. Constraints for installations and site integrations were enthusiastically discussed between the participants and industry representatives.

Synopsis Indian scenario India is rapidly becoming a preferred destination for tourism, both International as well as Domestic, with an annual growth of about 15%. The hospitality sector is a major consumer of energy in different forms for various end-uses. There is significant scope for direct energy saving as well as energy generation through the installation of Solar Water Heating and other Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs). For instance, appropriate solar thermal systems can be installed for heating water for various requirements in the rooms, and kitchen, etc. or for providing steam at higher temperatures for various applications. Solar photovoltaic systems and devices - such as street lights, garden lights, corridor lights, bill boards, or rooftop systems meeting captive power requirements - can be installed in hotels. On the other hand, through use of bio – methanation or biogas plants not only food leftovers and kitchen wastes, including fruit and vegetable wastes are disposed off in an environmentally sound fashion but the biogas produced from these plants can be used as an energy resource. Besides these, green/ energy efficient building designs can be introduced based on solar passive concepts and techniques, resulting in considerable savings in energy consumption in buildings, particularly from the large air-conditioning loads in hotels. Thus, such interventions can not only bring about savings but also substitute conventional electricity or fossil fuels resulting in a cleaner environment, making the hotels and restaurants `green‟ in true sense. The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India has announced “Guidelines for off-grid and decentralized solar applications” under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) which provide attractive financial incentives for the promotion of various types of solar energy systems, including in the hospitality sector. Other programmes of MNRE have similar schemes for other renewables and measures related to building energy efficiency.

Trends observed in hospitality sector A study of energy profile in the hospitality sector was conducted during the project. Extent and application of renewable energy technologies and energy conservation measures were studied. Following are the few major findings of the study. Electricity is the most common source of energy, followed by diesel and LPG. Hot water demand is directly proportional to the star category type i.e. it increases with increasing star rating. 34% of the hotels surveyed had solar water heating systems installed Flat Plate Collector (FPC) has been found to be more common than Evacuated Tube Collector (ETC) type solar water heating systems. Majority of the hotels have installed capacity in the range 1,000 LPD – 10,000 LPD (Litres per Day). 86% of the respondents are willing to take up renewable energy technologies and other energy conservation measures to reduce their energy bills. Lack of space has been cited as the most common constraint for installing renewable energy systems.

Conclusion and recommendation Study revealed that there is a substantial scope of implementation of solar water heating systems and other renewable energy technologies in hospitality sector. There is a significant level of awareness in the hotel industry of renewable energy technology. Many of these have also installed one or more RETs or adopted energy conservation measures to reduce their electricity consumption. Many hotels have installed solar water heating systems without availing capital subsidies. However, some constraints hold back the intrusion of RETs in this sector. Space constraint and high capital cost have been cited as the main reasons. This partly tapped sector can be made aware about renewable energy technologies and its benefits through creating awareness among them not only about technology and associated benefits but also about the incentives offered by government to adopt these technologies; this can boost the interest of hoteliers towards adoption. An effort was made during the course of this project to educate hotels about these technologies, and the participating hotels were fairly receptive to installing and using these systems. With the dissemination of the tools developed, this gap can be filled in. Additionally MNRE should look into simplifying the disbursement of capital subsidy, especially to attract smaller hotel.

National Conference, New Delhi 21 October 2011 Inaugural session The conference began with the welcome address by Mr Amit Kumar (Director, Energy Environment Technology Development, TERI). Highlighting the information related to energy consumption and opportunities that exist in energy conservation in Hospitality sector, he explained the role of renewable energy to offset energy consumption – SWH, bio-methanation etc. in hospitality Sector. He emphasized on the impact that a hotel will leave as a “green hotel” and the viability of using renewable energy to cater to their energy demands. . He also appreciated the support and co-ordination being provided by FHRAI which helped TERI during the survey. In the end, he briefed about three regional workshops that TERI had conducted in different cities viz. Kolkata, Bangalore, and Pune to educate the hospitality industry regarding the positive impacts of SWHS.

Mr M.D. Kapoor, Secretary General, FHRAI, gave brief introduction about FHRAI which has over 3700 members, 3rd largest in world. He highlighted that many members of FHRAI do make excuses on how to install SWHS in the already existing hotels. He requested the hospitality industry to start adapting itself to renewable as in near future it will be made mandatory. He also focused the importance of profit with principles. Mr Kapoor also shared his experience at recent member meeting that took place in Bangkok –highlighting success stories of Chinese hotel association on use of renewable energy in Chinese hotels. In the end, he also offered space for regular articles on sustainability which will now feature in FHRAI‟s magazine.

Dr A. K. Singhal, Director, MNRE, outlined the need to give thrust for educating people, essentially the hospitality community about benefits of renewable energy. He said that DG sets are popular in hospitality sector because of limited electricity availability (around 10% deficit) and requested hospitality industry to adopt renewable Energy, essentially solar in the hotels to reduce the usage of DG sets. The most important way forward will be the use of energy conservation measures followed by the use of renewable energy. He also focused on the financial support being provided by the Government of India, which is 30% of the capital cost as a subsidy to encourage use of SWHS. Government is looking forward to ease out

11

the processes to avail subsidies. Rejecting the comments made by industry like unavailability of roof or flat roof, commercial viability etc., Dr Singhal highlighted some case studies of installations where there were many constraints, but with the use of technology and creative solutions all of them could be addressed. He also urged for the requirement of amendments in municipal bylaws so as to increase the penetration of SWH technologies. He also showed various installations in hospitality industry where utilities are run on energy provided through solar energy like cooling through solar energy, steam being used for cooking and laundry, use of SPV for emergency lighting etc. He focused on the example of ITC Maurya, where concentrating mechanism is used to produce steam, which is used in various processes. This system is installed successfully on the roof of the hotel without impeding the aesthetics of the building and its structure. He also advised using PV, and SPV- wind hybrid system to produce electrical energy which can be used in many places, and use of bio-degradable waste to produce fuel gases. He even encouraged focusing on green architecture with the use of rating system like GRIHA and LEED for energy conservation. Delivering the special address Dr S.N. Srinivas, Project Officer, UNDP India, detailed about SWH projects being done by GEF globally and in India. He pointed out that the current thrust countries where UNDP is active for developmental works are Lebanon, Tunisia, India and Mexico. Energy efficiency improvement project with BEE is in progress and the projects on concentrating technology are in pipeline. He even stressed on the lack of available technical expertise in Mexico and India and the lack of reliable assessments. Dr Srinivas especially illustrated the case of Lebanon where to increase the penetration of solar technologies attractive financial schemes like loans at 0% interest rates with payback period of up to 5 years have been made available. Mr Tarun Kapoor, Joint Secretory, MNRE, launched the Online Tool for evaluating the basic cost & size of systems for various renewable energy based technologies which can be installed in the hotel premises; this tool has been developed by TERI. Post launching, he also emphasised on the need for renewable energy in hospitality sector and the need for commercialization and sustainability of renewable energy. He gave an example of Bangalore where their state nodal agency has showed many successful operating SWH systems and also praised the awareness amongst people regarding use of renewable energy. He also highlighted the requirement of improvement in quality of products based on renewable energy. Mr Kapoor also spoke on requirement of proper assessment and research before installation of SWH systems. He stated the equation of success i.e. publicity + quality + planning = more business + sustainability.

Session 2: Case studies from hotels Mr Parveen from ITC Maurya Group of Hotels shared his experience of using concentrated solar thermal systems in their hotel. Scheffler dishes which have been installed are used to generate steam and hot water. They have installed 2 paraboloid dishes and 8 Scheffler dishes. The system has been installed on the terrace of the building. The steam produced by the system is used for hot water generation and for laundry equipment. The total project cost for the whole system was INR 165 lakh. Out of which INR 30 lakh was recovered from the Government as subsidy making the net cost of the project as INR 135 lakh. The total payback period reported by him was 12 years. He also discussed the installation and operational challenges faced, major one being regular cleaning of mirrors. Mr Sunil Relia from The Leela Group of Hotels focused his presentation on the need of solar energy for sustainable development, explaining instances from his own experience. He said that solar thermal energy is the best way to use solar energy in everyday applications. He also discussed the SWHS installed at their hotels in Udaipur, Rajasthan & New Delhi. Around the year average solar system energy generation of 96 collectors in Udaipur is 4,80,000 Kcals/day and of 32 collectors is 1,60,000 Kcals/day. He reported that their savings have been more in case of Udaipur installation than in New Delhi‟s site, however payback period is higher in case of Udaipur than in Delhi primarily due to high cost of the system in Udaipur. Reduction of cost over few years has substantially reduced the payback period. Amongst the constraints faced by them in installing SWHS was space issue in major. The systems have been working satisfactorily so far and occasional checks and tweaking is required for better performance. Mr Vikram Bahri of Green Leaf Hotel outlined their efforts to build a sustainable hotel with focus on high quality of life and low environmental footprint. He touched over various technological innovations integrated into the SWHS such as use of solar thermal collectors to produce hot water and also for space cooling; architectural adaptations to minimize interior lighting and HVAC load. Mr Bahri further explained the incorporation of Government policies to further promote the use of renewable energy in the hospitality industry.

Mr N.C. Malhotra from Lemon Tree Hotel shared their experiences of using Solar Water Heating systems in their hotels. He said that they had designed the systems themselves and these

have been running efficiently in their hotels. The SWHS installed are giving them favourable results in terms of hot water & monetary savings.

Session 2: Presentations by industries Mr Puneet Sabharwal from Nogginhaus started with electricity scenario in India. One among some of the key points he mentioned is expectation of electricity price rise by 22% by next year. The focus of his entire presentation was on utilization of solar energy to generate electricity using solar PV technology under which he covered some of the aspects such as; benefits of using solar energy for electricity generation, working method of electrical power generation from solar energy and its areas of application, solar devices and systems, financial assistance by MNRE and in the end he briefed the gathering about savings and payback of solar PV system. Mr Bhupinder Kumar from InterSolar briefed the audience about use of solar water heating system in hotels and restaurants. Inter Solar has installed large capacity of solar water heating system at various resorts, restaurants, institutions in India. He mentioned about InterSolar‟s largest installation of 50000LPD capacity at M/s Chelsea Jeans, Gurgaon. Mr Sanjeev Arora from EPL India Limited introduced his organization to the audience, briefing about core areas of their organization viz natural water management system, eco resorts, solar energy and construction division. He discussed about their technology which is based on use of indirect heating system using thermic fluid instead of water in direct heating system in the locations where water quality is harsh and/or frost prone.
