CP DEMO PROJECT: HOTEL SECTOR
The Gujarat Cleaner Production Center has carried out CP Demonstration project in two
hotels. The project has been sponsored by Director (Env), Forests & Environment Dept.,
Government of Gujarat. The hotel sector is predominant in all major cities of Gujarat State.
The main CP potential areas are as follows:
Fuel switch over in the kitchen
Energy and water conservation in Restaurants and Banquet halls
Energy conservation in Air-conditioned, heaters and lightings are used in
guest areas
Minimization of chemicals used in Washing machines, dry cleaning, tumbles
drying machines.
Energy conservation in engineering and maintenance division which controls
and manages heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, lighting , hot
water and steam systems, kitchens and cooking equipment, refrigeration
system
The GCPC team has studied the CP potential areas in detail and following cleaner
production options have been suggested.
