Hotel Engineering

Engineering department in the hotel is responsible for operating and maintaining the entire building services systems. Around 1.5 to 3% of the total hotel financial turnover is spent for the engineering related Repair and Maintenance (R&M). The expenditure for engineering R&M includes AC fittings, dampers, thermostat, refrigerant gases, carpentry, electrical items etc. The major portion, say around 15 to 20% of engineering R&M is spent for the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC).


The following is the percentage break-up of energy consumption by various utility areas of engineering department.

  • HVAC 25 – 30%
  • Lighting 18 – 22%
  • Kitchen 10 – 15%
  • Lobby 10 – 15%
  • Elevators 02 – 04%
  • Banquets 02 – 04%
  • Others 10 – 25%

Environmental Impacts

To maintain the electrical, mechanical and plumbing system & equipment, the engineering department consumes enormous amount of resources and generates disproportionate amount of waste. These wastes has an adverse environmental impacts, some of them are listed below.
