Abstract
Abstract
Greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions of Egypt represent nearly 1 percent of the World’s GHG emissions, and according to IPCCC, Egypt will be affected by the impact of climate change risks. It was also pointed out that the building sector consumes up to 40 percent of all energy and contributes up to 30 percent of global annual greenhouse gases emissions through the operational phase. That makes existing buildings sector is an opportunity to provide the potential of energy savings techniques and programs and reducing CO2 emissions. It can be achieved through retrofitting existing buildings to promote environmental conservation and sustainable development during the operational periods of building use. Hotels sector in Egypt uses huge amounts of energy, therefore, investments in more efficient energy use can lead to significant reductions in energy consumption, operating costs and energy bills. Hoteliers are nowadays more environmentally conscious than ever because it can cost far more to operate a lodging facility if it is not sustainable. Some innovative energy management systems could cut energy costs for hotels by up to 65%.
