We can also do retro commissioning which is re- commissioning an older building. It might be several years since a building was put into operation and although you’ve got a maintenance team on site, they have been so busy that unfortunately things have been overlooked. It’s quite a simple process that we go through. We can engage at certain levels within the life cycle of the hotel, from design reviews to energy audits and retro commissioning and even just simple advice to the owners or developers. Because we work with all the industry bodies, we like to keep a close eye on all the new technologies coming through. Hotel owners and developers are so focused on what they are doing that they don’t always have the opportunity to stay abreast of these new technologies. That’s something we can bring to the table. IAG: What are some of the specific environmental challenges facing major integratedresortdevelopments across Asia? KH: Economy of scale is key here.
