Park Regis Kris Kin Hotel Dubai
has been making great strides towards incorporating best environmental
practices as part of its keen desire to curtail its carbon footprint in line
with sustainable tourism policy in the Emirates.
For the second consecutive year
the hotel has been awarded an international Green Globe Certification (GGC) for
demonstrating its firm commitment to implementation of green policies in order
to reduce the impact of its business on the environment.
However, its quest does not slow
down despite the achievement of this milestone. In fact, the Park Regis Kris
Kin Hotel Dubai has further stepped up its green quest since it won the
prestigious certification, which was bestowed upon it following an in-depth
sustainability audit conducted by Farnek Consulting, GGC’s exclusive partner in
the Middle East. The hotel's vigorous efforts have been showing encouraging
results.
Mr. Scott
Butcher, General Manager, Park Regis Kris Kin Hotel Dubai, said that the certification
has reinforced their commitment to the emirates’ transition towards a greener
economy and inspired them to follow the Green Globe Programme in both its
letter and spirit to ensure the best quality practices.
Following
the Green Globe Programme, the hotel has made noteworthy improvement over its
achievements a year ago.
“We have significantly reduced the
consumption of electricity and water besides other precious resources. In terms
of Energy Consumption we have achieved a 3% reduction compared to 2013. Similarly
we have achieved 5% reduction in Water Consumption, 15% in Waste Diversion
Ratio. We intend to maintain this trend going
forward.
In 2012, the hotel replaced more
than 1100 Halogen bulbs, each 50W, with 3W LED lamps. This year the management
has focused on reducing the consumption on Air Conditioning.
“Electricity consumption in 2012
was 9,321,070 K w Hrs (108 per rooms), while the consumption during the same
period in 2013 was recorded only 8,793,876 K w Hrs (82 per rooms). The saving
is 5.6% (527,194 K w Hrs). This saving is achieved despite of the increase in
the occupancy levels in 2013,” he added.
The hotel has been regularly
conducting training programmes on sustainability to create awareness among its
staff, who have been responding enthusiastically. The hotel is also planning to
conduct training programmes on waste segregation. Waste consumption in 2012 at
the Park Regis Kris Kin Hotel Dubai was 15,412,000 im Gallons (178 per rooms)
while in 2013, it was 16,455,000 im Gallons (154 per rooms).
Talking about the Green Goals set
for the first year, Mr. Butcher said, “We are targeting on 5% reduction in
Electricity consumption and streamlining the waste segregation. Also we are
planning to calculate our carbon foot prints involved in the hotel operation in
line with Green Globe requirements.”
