This document summarizes an energy audit conducted at the Cresta Jameson Hotel in Harare, Zimbabwe. The audit found that the hotel's energy usage accounted for approximately 10% of operating costs. Through implementing various energy conservation measures (ECMs) like switching to LED lighting and occupancy sensors, installing efficient refrigeration and kitchen equipment, the audit estimated the hotel could reduce its energy consumption by over 50% and lower energy costs to 5% of operating expenses. The report provided cost-benefit analyses of the proposed ECMs and recommendations to establish an energy management team to continue improving efficiency.

3. Introduction
A 3 star Hotel in the CBD of Harare.
Host to 123 Guest Rooms, 5 conference centers,
2 magnanimous Kitchens, 3 Restaurants and a
Banqueting Lounge.
Electricity charges are at an average $12
350/month.
Hotels are bracing for brisk business and
therefore will do anything to increase profit
and increase the quality of stay.
4. Problem Statement
Due to the continuous availability of
electricity at the Hotel, little or no
attention has been accorded to the
energy use patterns of the hotel.
The energy usage is very high and
accounting for approximately 10% of
the operating cost of the entire
hotel
5. Aim
To carry out an energy audit and
analyze energy management
opportunities at Cresta Jameson
Hotel
6. Objectives
To carry out an energy audit at Jameson
Hotel;
Devise strategies and methods to increase
the energy efficiency at Jameson Hotel
based on the results of the audit.
Carry out an cost benefit analysis of the
methods suggested.
7. Justification of the Study
Due to the continuous availability of
electricity at the Hotel, little or no
attention has been accorded to the
energy use patterns of the hotel.
The energy usage is very high and
accounting for approximately 10% of
the operating cost of the entire
hotel.

10. Methodology
Research Design was quantitative. The
audit process was divided into 3 phases;
1. History Documents Review- to establish a
trend of energy consumption using
utility bills. Evaluation of the building
envelope.
2.
11. Methodology…..ctd
Walkthrough Energy Audit- was a tour of
the facility checking the energy practices
at the hotel. Then labeling according to
estimated energy consumed.
Measurement Audit- with the aid of
specific equipment as well as
observation power ratings where
recorded as specified by the
manufacturer or when not available,
tests where conducted.
28. Refrigeration
Use of strip curtains or plastic swing doors on
cold stores;
Making sure that the doors of the cold stores are
shut all the time;
Door Gaskets should be checked fortnightly;
Use of CFL’s or LED lights and should be
switched off when closed;
Refrigerators should not be overloaded.
30. Financial Benefit of OCM
Saving a average total of
55.982MWh a month represents
50.82% reduction.
The average energy bill will
become approximately $6
174.63
This means energy costs will be 5%
of the operating costs and even
