Hospitality & Leisure
energy strategies
Energy solutions for hospitality & leisure
Hotels, leisure centres, spas, and venues are among the most energy-intensive businesses in any sector. High, constant demand for heat, hot water, and electricity - running 24 hours a day, 365 days a year - means energy costs are significant, and the opportunity to reduce them is equally significant.
We work with hospitality businesses to design energy strategies that cut costs, reduce carbon emissions, and protect against energy price volatility - without disrupting guests or operations.
insight
The challenges we understand
- High year-round hot water demand from rooms, kitchens, pools, and spas
- Constant heating and cooling requirements across large, often older buildings
- Escalating energy bills with limited ability to pass costs on to guests
- Increasing pressure from guests and corporate clients to demonstrate sustainability credentials
- Listed buildings and heritage settings that require careful planning and sensitive installation
strong results
Technologies we typically recommend for hospitality
The right solution depends on your specific building, energy profile, and goals - but the technologies that tend to deliver the strongest results for hospitality businesses include:
- Biomass - ideal for high, constant heat demand, particularly off the gas grid
- CHP Systems - generates on-site electricity and captures heat simultaneously, well-suited to hotels running around the clock
- Commercial Heat Pumps - replaces oil or LPG boilers with low-carbon heating and hot water
- Commercial Solar PV - offsets daytime electricity consumption and supports EV charging for guests
- Battery Storage (BESS) - stores surplus solar generation and reduces peak demand charges
case studies
What our clients have achieved
We've delivered energy projects for hotels, spas, and leisure facilities across the UK - including a biomass installation that cut heating costs by 50% at a Northumberland hotel, and a CHP system that reduced grid electricity reliance by 90% at a Grade II listed Darlington hotel.
