Energy expenses are typically the second largest cost center for hotels and hospitality businesses, with personnel costs being the largest. However, energy costs can be controlled by implementing energy-efficient, cost-saving, and environmentally-friendly CHP (Combined Heat and Power) systems, which can also help to boost a hotel's image.

CHP systems offer many benefits for hotel owners and operators. They generate thermal energy that can be used for space heating, domestic hot water, and even pool heating, as well as serving chillers for cooling applications. This reduces the need to use existing boilers, especially during the summer months, and significantly reduces carbon emissions. Electricity is generated at a much lower cost, and demand charges are often eliminated.

Sophance, an energy consulting and project development company, was asked by Eden Resort & Suites in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, a 301-room hotel and conference center, to perform an energy study based on the hotel's current and future energy needs to reduce their rising energy costs. Based on the study, a CHP system was selected to become more energy-independent and to reduce costs. 2G Energy Inc. received the order to manufacture and supply a 2G Patruus rated 400 ekW/h with a yearly capacity of 3,320 MWh electrical output, along with 15,756 mmBTU of thermal energy generation. This fully-containerized CHP system was supplied in High-Line Configuration for more pleasing optics and with reduced noise levels of <50 dB(A) @ 30', to ensure a very quiet ambiance around the hotel.

The High-Line CHP Module was delivered in the hotel's color and skillfully integrated into the existing resort infrastructure, taking into account the hotel guest experience and space limitations. The hotel is now enjoying significant cost savings, demonstrating how easy it is for hotel owners to reduce their energy expenses.
