Rosewood Phuket

Upon creating the energy model, we developed recommendations aimed at improving overall energy efficiency and system performance. These include optimizing air conditioner use by preventing operation with open windows, adjusting swimming pool pump schedules, and addressing issues with domestic hot water systems.

Further recommendations involve lowering hot water temperature settings, installing heat recovery units, and enhancing monitoring of solar hot water systems. Additionally, we suggest submetering lighting and kitchen loads separately and upgrading pumps with Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) for better energy management.

Upon creating the energy model and implementing the recommendations, we analyzed the improvements in energy savings and found the following reductions:

Rosewood Phuket boasts the largest solar energy system in Phuket, generating 113,000 kWh annually and providing hot water. The energy-efficient design saves an estimated 1,520,000 kWh per year, with renewable energy contributing 150,000 kWh. Water conservation measures save 7,000 m³ annually and reduces the resort’s carbon footprint by 223 metric tons of CO2 per year.
