UCY: Green-TAS Project Progress

Presentation Structure

1. Task 5: Economic analysis of the EMS implementation in the

Hotel Sector in Jordan - Development of an Environmental

Performance Monitoring and Reporting Tool

2. Task 5: Current progress

3. Discussion on the cost/benefit analysis main parameters

4. Task 7: Project dissemination activities

Task 5: “Economic analysis of the EMS implementation in the Hotel Sector in Jordan – Development of an Environmental Performance Monitoring and Reporting Tool”

● Analyse the economic aspects of the environmental management

systems in the hotel sector in Jordan

● Introduce environmental accounting in the hotel sector in Jordan in

the framework of cost/benefit analysis

● Develop a set of 'sustainability indicators' through which the

sustainable performance of hotels would be feasible to be

monitored

● To develop a reporting prototype

Task 5 – Actions

● Complete identification of the direct and

indirect costs involved in the EMS application

and classification of each cost according to

their importance for the two hotels

● D14: Cost / benefit analysis report for EMS

implementation for the 2 two hotels

Deliverable Date: 31/3/2008

Task 5 – Actions

● MoE and HU responsible for the tool dissemination

● D15: A set of indicators for the monitoring/reporting of the

environmental status and the improvement of the operations in

the hotel sector

Deliverable Date: 30/4/2008

Development of a reporting prototype that will allow the hoteliers to disseminate the impact of their managerial decisions on the environment - presentation to the actors concerned (hoteliers, MoE, MoT, etc)

Task 5 – Actions

● D16: Inventory of the environmental

performance measures taken by the

participating hotels and evaluation through the

application of the indicators framework

Deliverable Date: 31/5/2008

Implementation of the reporting tool for the two hotels

Task 5 – Current Progress

● Cost and Benefit Analysis for EMS

implementation in two hotels

● Determination of cost/benefit analysis main parameters

(direct and indirect costs involved in the EMS application)

● Classification of the costs according to their importance

Pareto Analysis: A great majority of problems (80%) are

produced by a few key causes (20%). If these key causes

are corrected, then there is a greater probability of

success.

Task 5 – Cost/benefit analysis main parameters

Since EMS is currently in its initiation stage in

both hotels, the cost / benefit analysis can

only be based on a theoretical level

five years projection has been requested

for the consumptions and guest nights

(GN) of both hotels

An estimated cost and saving estimation

has been requested regarding the Key-

card system installation in Petra and other

future investments

Task 5 – Cost/benefit analysis main parameters

● Electricity consumption (KWh/GN)

● Water Consumption (m3/GN)

● Fuel Consumption - Diesel & LPG (Lt/GN)

● Emissions reduction and equivalence in money

● Waste production, extra cost for waste recycling and

environmental benefits

● Investment and maintenance costs for the EMS and

environmental benefits

● Cost of the new LPG burners that will replace Diesel

burners in both hotels and estimated savings

Task 5 – Cost/benefit analysis main parameters

● Other parameters ?

Any ideas ?
