Macdonald Hotel Group
Macdonald Hotel Group aim to exceed energy efficiency targets
Case study
To date our team have installed water products in over 30 of the group’s 45 hotels.
Amongst these solutions we installed Neoperl tap aerators on existing taps to reduce water flow, leading to savings on both water and energy bills.
This project is expected to save more than £4,300 annually on energy bills and reduce CO2 emissions by 19 tonnes per year.
The Client
The Macdonald Hotel group is a collection of 45 hotels which prides itself on delivering a unique experience from each of its hotels.
The idiosyncrasies of each Macdonald hotel make all of them comforting because they are closely tied into the local charm and character of the area.
The Brief
Hotels by their very nature have an extremely high usage of water and energy. SaveMoneyCutCarbon were appointed by the MacDonald Hotel Group as their energy and water efficiency partner.
SaveMoneyCutCarbon were given the task of assisting the Macdonald Hotel Group in meeting their corporate social responsibility targets; making sure that their hotels are not just compliant, but exceed energy efficiency targets.
The Solution
To date our team have installed water products in over 30 of the group’s 45 hotels. This has been achieved as part of our end-to-end solution.
We began with a full survey of the hotel group’s buildings, including detailed financial models which outlined initial spend and gave timeframes for return-on-investment by calculating potential savings.
After our consultations, our nationwide installation team delivered water-saving solutions in hotels across the UK from Oxford to Edinburgh and beyond.
Amongst these solutions were Neoperl Tap Aerators which were ideally suited to Macdonald Hotels.
Tap Aerators are a perfect retrofit solution and deliver a ‘champagne-like’ aerated flow which reduces water consumption and provides a sumptuous jet of water suitable for the group’s elegant rooms.
This project was completed in April 2018.
Annual energy savings of 1,772,641 kWh
