The engineering and maintenance department is responsible for properly maintaining the hotel building, equipment, and grounds to protect the property value and support other departments. An effective preventative maintenance program can save hotels money by reducing long-term repair costs, planned replacement part purchases, and revenue losses from guest dissatisfaction. The engineering and maintenance department should create specific preventative maintenance programs for public areas, guest rooms, food services, laundry, and other equipment. Managing utilities and implementing energy management programs can also help control operating costs.

When people pay to stay in a hotel, they expect the appliances, fixtures, furniture and grounds to be in working order. Behind the scenes, the hotel maintenance staff keeps things operating and in good condition. This can be a complex job that requires a host of basic repair and troubleshooting skills.
A Jack of All Trades
In a hotel, a staff maintenance person responds to requests for repairs to the inside or outside of the building. They change light bulbs and fix faucets, but they may also do more complex tasks such as maintaining heating and air conditioning units or landscaping the grounds. An organized, skilled maintenance person will also inspect the grounds, buildings, furniture and equipment in the hotel for things in need of repair. If the repairs are out of the employee's sphere of knowledge, he will call on trusted contractors to take care of plumbing, electrical or structural problems. Maintenance jobs typically don't require any special training, although some workers have attended a technical school or community college to learn about basic repair techniques.
Building Automation: The scope for energy and CO2 savingsLeonardo ENERGY
This Leonardo ENERGY study shows a vast energy saving potential for the European building stock, by increasing the adoption and installation of Building Automation Technologies (BAT) and Building/Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS/BEMS). Compared with a reference scenario which assumes a continuation of current trends in the adoption and installation of BAT and BEMS/HEMS, the optimal scenario estimates the savings to reach 22% of all building energy consumption by 2028 and maintain that level thereafter.
Impressive as the saving potentials are, they will not be realized without measures to stimulate both good practice and higher rates of deployment. The report has identified a range of complementary measures and recommended actions.
A.T.E.'s solutions for auto and auto ancillaries include cooling solutions for spaces, processes, and controlled environments. Our IIoT solutions enable an energy savings of up to 10% annually, in additio to increase equipment uptime. In wastewater treatment, A.T.E. provides ETPs, STPs, ETP monitoring and comprehensive sludge management solutions. Our static charging and discharging solutions help improve quality and productivity in plastics and rubber processing and other applications. Click on the link below to learn more.
2. Unit Objectives
Describe the role and responsibility of engineering and
maintenance department
Explain the importance of managing maintenance in
relations to guest comfort
Relate the impacts of utilities and hotel profitability
Suggest ways to promote environmental awareness in
accommodation business
3. The role of engineering and maintenance
department
The primary job of the
engineering and
maintenance
department is to
properly maintain the
hotel building,
equipment and
grounds.
4. ROLE OF THE ENGINEERING AND
MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT
• Protecting and enhancing financial value of the building
and grounds for the hotel’s owners
• Supporting the efforts of all other departments through
the timely attention to their E&M needs
• Controlling maintenance and repair costs
• Controlling energy usage
• Increasing the pride and morale of hotel staff
• Ensuring the safety of those working and visiting the hotel
5. Maintenance and Engineering
• Designing and constructing the bulding, maintaining it and
periodically renovating and modernizing it
• Application of physics, chemistry and mathematics to
design and operate buildings
• Maintaining hotel physical property. Must be planned,
implemented and recorded
• The cost of maintaining a building. Durable finishes, hi
quality and long life equipment will save money in the
long term
• Predictable life span.
6. Managing Maintenance (Routine)
Exterior Interior
Routine roof
inspection,repair, seal
inspection and care and
painting
Changing of light bulbs
Guestroom and public
space items that
malfunction, wear out or
break and need repair or
replacement
7. AN EFFECTIVE PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE PROGRAM WILL SAVE THE
HOTEL MONEY BY REDUCING THE FF.
Long-term repair costs by prolonging equipment life
Replacement part costs because purchases of these parts
can be planned
Labor costs by allowing PM to be performed in otherwise
slow periods
Revenue losses from refunds and charge backs due to
guest dissatisfaction
The costs of emergency repairs by minimizing their
occurences
8. The E & M department should
create a specific PM program for
the ff areas:
PUBLIC AREAS
Public Spaces such as lobbies, corridors, and meeting areas, PM
programs should also include items such as windows, HVAC
units, furniture, lights, elevators, and carpets.
Carpet care is one of the most challenging PM areas for an
area an E & M department.
9. GUESTROOMS
The most important and the most extensive, areas for
PM
Guestrooms are the most critical to the sales effort to
the hotel’s ability to retain guest and to the maintenance
of the asset’s monetary value.
10. FOOD SERVICES
There are 3 major PM concerns in the food service area:
1. Back of the House like kitchen equipment
2. Dining space used by guests.
3. Food and Beverage that is required for special
functions.
11. LAUNDRY
The washers, dryers, folding equipment, water supply
lines, drains, lighting fixtures, and temperature control
units require PM programs.
12. OTHER EQUIPMENT
Additional areas of concern when developing a PM
program include those related to pools, spas, front desk
equipment, electronic locks, exterior door locks, motor
vehicles, and in hotel transportation( luggage carts and
R.A carts.
13. EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE
The strongest rationale for implementing well-designed
and aggressive routine and preventive maintenance
programs is the ability to manage repair costs.
14. MANAGING UTILITIES
Those in the hotel industry , take strong measures to
conserve resources and to implement energy
management programs.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Specific policies and engineering, maintenance and facility
design activities intended to control and reduce energy
use.
15. Managing Maintenance (Preventive)
Benefits Program
Long term repair cost by
prolonging equipment life
Replacement part cost as
purchases can be planned
Labor cost by allowing
maintenance performed
slowly
Revenue losses from refunds
and charge backs due to
guest dissatisfaction be
prevented
Cost of emergency repairs
minimized
Public space
Guestroom
Food Service
Laundry
Others
16. Managing Maintenance (Emergency)
Define
Unexpected
Threaten to negatively
impact revenue
Require immediate
attention to minimize
damage
Require labor and parts
that needs to be
purchased at a premium
17. Technology and Maintenance
Should be done in all properties of the hotel
Bar codes can be used to tag equipment
Automated equipment maintenance system can be used
18. Utilities
Include water, sewage, gas, electricity, fuel for heating/
cooling the building
This is incurred whether or not hotel is occupied
Age of building, design and construction affects energy
use
Energy cost represent 3 to 10% of total operating cost
19. Utilities
Electricity Heating Component
Most expensive form of
energy used in hotel.
Includes lighing and HVAC
(heating, ventilation and
airconditioning)
Heating of hot water by
having a furnace or heat
pump seating (water
heater) for boiling.
20. Utilities
Cooling component Natural Gas
Factors include air
temperature and humidity
of room
Quantity of chilled air
entering the room
Operational efficiency of
airconditioner
It is used to
Heat water
Power clothes dryers
Directly or indirectly
provide heat to guest
rooms, and public spaces
Cook food
21. Utilities
Water Solid Waste
Aggressively managing
consumption is good
because:
It reduces no. of gallons
uses
It reduces amount of
sewage disposal
It reduces hot water,
heating cost
Hotel laundry is a big water
user
Packaging materials
Cardboard, crates, bags
Yard waste
22. Green hotels
The management should work with engineering and
maintenance to evaluate the benefits, costs, societal
pressures and marketing impacts on environmental
management issues such as
Recycling waste water for landscaping
Implementing basic recycling
Purchasing energy efficient appliance
Utilizing thermo pane windows, energy efficient insulation
