Cheetah - Hotel Case Studies
Quintex has worked with hotels across the UK, tailoring energy-saving solutions to their specific needs. This case study showcases two different-sized hotels to demonstrate how Cheetah delivers significant savings regardless of scale.
Mercure Bridgwater: Mid-Sized Hotel
Key Results:
- 17,944 kWh saved annually
- 4 tonnes CO₂ saved per year
- £4,486 annual savings
- 46% fan energy reduction
- 19-month payback
InterContinental Edinburgh the George: Large Hotel
Key Results Since 2020:
- 450,818 kWh save (total since 2020)
- 101 tonnes CO₂ saved (total since 2020)
- £58,606 saved (total since 2020)
- 43% fan energy reduction
- 4-month payback
The Challenge
Hotel kitchens operate extended hours with varying cooking demands throughout the day. Fans running at constant speed waste significant energy during quieter periods. Mid-sized and large hotels face different scales of consumption, but both need solutions that cut costs without disrupting operations or requiring major system replacements.
Cheetah was installed at both properties, integrating with existing ventilation systems. The technology adjusts fan speeds based on cooking activity - full power during busy service, reduced speeds during quieter periods. No expensive system overhauls required, and system works with existing infrastructure.
The Results
Mercure Bridgwater:
Before Cheetah, their fans ran 22 hours a day, 7 days a week, consuming 39,000 kWh annually. After installation, fan energy consumption dropped by 46% and annual usage fell to 21,000 kWh - saving 18,000 kWh every year.
InterContinental Edinburgh the George:
Before Cheetah, the hotel spent approximately £33,000 per year running fans at full speed. After installation, energy consumption dropped by 108,000 kWh and annual usage fell to 146,000 kWh -saving £19,000 each year.
Key Benefits
These two examples demonstrate Cheetah's versatility and effectiveness. Mid-sized venue or large property- the system delivers measurable energy reductions and significant cost savings. Short payback periods (4-19 months) mean hotels see returns quickly, with savings continuing year after year.
