Luxor and, by the way, a very efficient green transportation system.
Heritage and tourist attraction
Heritage sites and tourist attractions consume 24.3 GWh/year in electricity. This consumption is mainly due
to lighting sites in the evening and at night. It is hard to understand why heritage sites should be lighted up
at night. If this is a security requirement there are probably other solutions to be explored to avoid having
lights up all night. Anyway, even if lighting is unavoidable it would be good to run a detailed assessment of
the current lighting system as there are probably significant gain to obtain from modern technologies that
would offer the same service while reducing consumption.
4.2.2.3 Expected results
Assumptions:
- Awareness raising and improved management of energy could easily result in a 10% reduction of
energy consumption in hotels and resorts and a 10% reduction in land transport management,
- Awareness raising and improved management of cruise boat occupancy could lead to a 30% cut in
energy consumption for the cruse boats,
- On the longer term, a cruise fleet refurbishment programme would result in a 30% cut in GHG
emissions (switching from fuel and diesel to natural gas for cruise boats),
- Likewise investing in modern engines could lead to another 20% cuts in energy consumption from
buses and taxis,
- Refurbishment in hotels and resort could lead to another 40% cuts, and
- Efficiency in lighting heritage sites could lead to 20% electricity consumption reduction.
