ASSIGNMENT 5 SEMESTER 2 2024
UNIQUE NO.
DUE DATE: 21 OCTOBER 2024
, Introduction
Energy efficiency is increasingly essential for hospitality businesses, as it helps reduce
operational costs and promotes environmental sustainability (Brookes, 2022). In
investigating alternative electricity sources and the reliability of the electricity supply for
the proposed accommodation establishment, several key factors, including the
location’s energy supply stability and renewable energy options, have emerged. The
proposed accommodation will be located at [Insert Address] in [Insert Location], and in
this discussion, I will detail the findings from Activity 8.2. Furthermore, I will outline
specific energy efficiency measures that will be adopted across the guest rooms, bar,
restaurant, and common areas to ensure sustainability and cost efficiency.
Findings from Investigation (Activity 8.2)
The investigation into the electricity supply in [Insert Location] revealed that the area
experiences frequent power cuts and load-shedding, leading to unreliable energy
supply. The national grid, while the primary source of electricity, cannot always be relied
upon to provide continuous power, especially during peak hours. This makes the
integration of alternative electricity sources necessary (Smith, 2020).
Given the location’s abundant sunlight, solar energy was found to be the most viable
renewable energy source. Installing solar panels with a battery backup system would
allow the accommodation to harness solar power during the day and store excess
energy for use at night or during power outages (Jones, 2021). Additionally, local
incentives provided by the government of [Insert Location] support businesses that
adopt renewable energy solutions (Government of [Insert Location], 2022), making solar
power not only a sustainable choice but also financially beneficial in the long term.
While wind energy was considered, inconsistent wind speeds in the region make it less
reliable than solar energy (Anderson, 2020).
