December saw the return of RBH’s Owners’ Conference, RBH welcomed back their hotel owners for an afternoon of informative sessions with industry experts.
RBH have been rolling out numerous energy saving initiatives across many of their hotels as part of a decarbonisation programme, so it was great to see them share some success stories of their partners, including the achievements they have made in partnership with ourselves at ESDL.
The conference concluded with RBH’s Chief Technical Officer Gregor MacNaughton and Finance Director Stuart Houston sharing the impact of some of the management company’s most significant initiatives over the past year.
Among them, Gregor showcased an extensive partnership that’s been in the making for many months to install room energy management systems in hotels with sensors that are fitted in each room. A pilot scheme suggested a 40% reduction in consumption with the right technology, and an estimated ROI after 15 months of operation.
The theme throughout the day was that bold and brave investments will benefit the long-term success of hotels running a profitable operation and remaining sustainable for the future.
