Executive Summary
India is rapidly becoming a preferred destination for tourism, both International as well as Domestic, with an annual growth of about 15%. The hospitality sector is a major consumer of energy in different forms for various end-uses. There is significant scope for direct energy saving as well as complementing its energy supply through the installation of Solar Water Heating Systems and other Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs). Towards this, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has launched a unique initiative, titled Campaign on Solar Water Heating and other Renewable Energy Technologies in the Hospitality Sector under UNDP-GEFs National programme on Solar Water Heating Systems (SWHS). The main objective of the project is to promote and accelerate the application of Solar Water Heating and other RETs by developing and implementing a nationwide campaign for the hospitality sector covering the hotel and catering industry. As a part of this project, case studies have been carried out to document, as well as to showcase, success stories of different installations of renewable energy technologies in the hotels. These case studies attempt to capture all the key features of the systems along with the users feedback and presenting them succinctly.
