We hope that the following tips from Eskom give you some ideas on how to eliminate energy waste in your establishment
°    Check your hot water pipe insulation and geyser settings.  Turn down the hot water by a few degrees or turn off hot water tanks for a few hours per day.
°    Replace lamps with compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs).
°    Replace traditional showerheads with aerated showerheads.
°    Promote showering over bathing as this uses less water and saves energy.
°    Switch off unnecessary lighting and lights in areas that do not need to be lit on a regular basis.
°    Restaurant or dining - room lights should be switched off when it is closed.
°    Plan shutdown of rooms as per inventory requirements.  This means filling up the hotel floor - by - floor and shutting down the remaining rooms that are not in use.
°    Outside lights should be fitted with a motion sensor and care should be taken that these are not on during daylight hours.
°    Heating, ventilation and air - conditioning (HVAC) systems must be kept closed in air-conditioned areas.
°    Reschedule non - critical operations to off peak times:  10pm - 6am or on weekends.
°    Heated swimming pools should be covered with a thermal blanket when not in use.
°    All appliances in meal preparation areas should be switched off when not in use and care must be taken not to leave fridge or cold room doors open
