A framework for applying renewable energy in floating hotels : a case of Egypt

Abstract EN

There is now a common trend worldwide that reducing gases that have a great impact on the surrounding environment is extremely important, and to overcome this and reduce negative impacts, hotels must reduce dependence on fossil fuels in electricity generation, and replace that with investment in electricity generation from renewable energy sources.

This research aims to set a suggested framework for applying renewable energy in the Egyptian floating hotels.

The current research used personal interviews with the managers of floating hotels, managers and experts of the renewable energy companies, and based on the distribution of survey forms to the engineers and technicians of the maintenance and engineering department.

The interviews were conducted with Forty-Two managers of floating hotels.

The valid questionnaires for analysis were 253.

The total number of interviews with the managers and experts of renewable energy companies was twelve.

Research findings highlighted that it is possible to use solar panels on the floating hotel to provide electrical energy to the rooms of the hotel sample of the research.
