A hotel in Cork has cut its energy costs by 10 per cent.

The Maryborough Hotel & Spa in Douglas made the savings through energy efficiency support and funding from Bord Gáis Energy.

Bord Gáis Energy provided €27,000 in funding for an LED lighting retrofit and additional energy efficiency upgrades at the hotel. €18,000 of the funding was used to retrofit the entire building with LED lighting.

A further €9,000 was provided for energy improvements including the reconditioning of a combined heat and power (CHP) unit and the installation of an Eco-Cooler.

Energy efficiency projects not only help businesses reduce their carbon footprint, but can also improve their bottom line and The Maryborough Hotel and Spa has already realised significant cost savings. Through the projects implemented, I'm confident that management will see an ongoing reduction in their energy bills."
