Generation of energy from renewable sources to cover a buildings energy demand contributes to the reduction of the environmental impact of buildings. Specific characteristics of the hotel sector are 24-h operation, high degree of comfort provision, low tolerance for failure and the occurrence of two daily load peaks. Another characteristic of hotel buildings is their unique energy profile. A typical hotel’s (100 beds) it ranges from 450 to 700 kWh/m², versus a typical commercial building’s energy use between 30 and 152 kWh/m². The energy consumed by hotel buildings is relatively large compared to the consumption of other commercial buildings.

Besides PV, other renewable energy technologies as micro wind-turbine and CHP are investigated. The study shows that applying PV including a surface up to 750m² can be both economical and environmentally feasible and that achieving a Renewable Fraction (RF) of above 75% at the hotel building in Amsterdam goes along with an increasing life cycle cost (LCC).
