Aqualectra Multi Utility and Ecofys start greening of hotels

Study starts with 9 hotels in Curacao and Bonaire
Nine hotels that represent the different types of hotels in Curacao and Bonaire, from apartments to high-rise buildings and from budget to luxury hotels, are included in the study. After this study the project will be extended to more hotels in the Netherlands Antilles and the Caribbean. It is expected that in some cases savings of up to 40% can be made. The study analyses the technical and financial options for measures on energy- and water savings in the hotel sector. To implement the required measures an energy and water management plan will also be developed.

Long-term cooperation between AMU and Ecofys
AMU and Ecofys have a cooperation agreement to develop and offer products and services in the areas of energy and water efficiency and sustainable energy to hotels and other parties. Karel Tujeehut, Manager Multi Utility: “The close cooperation between Aqualectra and Ecofys will contribute to a sustainable development of Curacao.”
