Delta Hotels by Marriott Jumeirah Beach Resort Dubai Saves Energy & Water

Energy Saving Measures
The hotel has made good use of the quiet times experienced during the Coronavirus pandemic to upgrade systems where possible. All staircase lights have been replaced with motion sensors that automatically dim lights when no movement is detected. In total 196 lights were installed in stair wells on all 50 floors of the property. Significant energy savings have been made with the new sensors - 435.12 Kw per day, a total of 13 053.60 Kw per month.

Water Reduction Strategy
To meet water reduction targets, water saving aerators have been fitted in guest rooms on wash basins, kitchen sinks, shower heads and bidet systems. Compared to the previous flow rate of 72 L/minute, the flow rate with the new devices is now 36.5 L/minute, a total water savings of 50%. Regular maintenance is also undertaken as part of the hotel’s preventative maintenance program to avoid water wastage. Furthermore, hands free faucets were installed in guest public restrooms last year, which greatly assists in maintaining optimum health and hygiene standards at the property. Staff restrooms are soon to follow in 2022.
