Abstract

A strong increase of hospitality infrastructure is taking place in Brazil due to imminent international events. In order to understand energy saving potential of this sector, an existing business hotel in Goiânia, a mid-western Brazilian metropolis, was analyzed as case study taking into account Brazilian energy saving incentives. Ten different scenarios were tested, evaluating different strategies, building systems and materials, as well as renewable technologies. The effects on energy consumption were simulated and most efficient strategies were identified with 60.3% of energy saving.
