1Our Energy Efficiency Program
At IHG we believe that our actions speak volumes. Our Sustainability program supports and strengthens IHG’s vision, brands and values,
and ensures that we continue to perform with purpose.
In 2012 we revised our Sustainability agenda. Our Strategy provides clear direction for our initiatives through a framework that allows
flexibility to suit the specific needs of our diverse locations, markets, and brands. It supports that work we are already doing for our
employees, our owners, our guests, our business partners and the environment. The increase in those who positively advocate our
brands and business as a result of our sustainable operations helps IHG sustain growth and improve business performance for our
shareholders and owners.
We have established a long term program of Sustainability
actions based on our assessment of the material issues
involving our business and the role we play in the
experiences of our guests, owners, employees and wider
community.
Our Sustainability Framework highlights our focus on
efficient operations in Australia.
2Assessment Outcomes
The organisations approach to Energy Efficiency Opportunities Assessments has required the use of an external energy consultancy firm.
This firm have completed Level 2 Energy Audit, NABERS rating and Energy mass balances across our representative sample of sites. \
Our assessment methodologies have included:
1.Physically inspecting an entity and collecting information on how it operates
2.Collecting energy usage data from suppliers invoices and our internal data capture tool (ESCAP)
3.Holding workshops with each entity’s senior management team and engineers to understand to operation and the suggested
opportunities presented by the external energy consultancy firm
4.Identify saving opportunities through level 2 audits
5.Meeting with finance teams to understand parameters for capital expenditure on energy efficiency opportunities found
Assessors work closely with management to review and determine energy saving opportunities to implement or investigate further.
MAJOR CANGES TO CORPORTATE GROUP STRUCUTRE/ OPERATIONS
This year has seen several changes to our groups structure.
•The Holiday Inn Surfers Paradise and the Holiday Inn Brisbane both left our group. These hotels we not to be assessed under the
representative assessment of hotels so did not impact our ability to undergo the required audits and program.
•The Intercontinental Adelaide which was originally going to have an audit and energy mass balance as apart of the representative
sample is in the middle of renovations. As such the Holiday Inn Sydney Aiport was chosen to be included in the sample set.
•Our COO, Bruce McKenzie is no longer employed by IHG, with bill Edwards acting as COO for the Australasia region

9Examples of Significant Opportunities
The Group is required to provide at least 3 examples of significant opportunities for improving the energy efficiency that have been identified in
assessments.
Opportunity 1: Install Motion Activated Lighting Controls
This initiative proposes to install new motion sensors to control the operation of the lighting within selected areas of the hotel. Generally these areas
were identified as having sporadic and short occupancy levels in which the use of motion controls can reduce the operational
period of the lighting. Although motion detectors sensors have already been fitted in most of the amenities and staff rooms, it is proposed to install a
movement sensor in the loading dock. The Passive Infra-red (PIR) motion detector sensor will ensure that lights are off when areas
are unoccupied; this will save power consumption and will prolong the lifespan of the lamps.
Opportunity 2: Implement Building Tuning Program
Since 2008, the hotel has seen various upgrades such as the installation of new guest room controls, new compressor for one of the chillers, and just
more recently a BMS system. Building Tuning is an integrated approach to make the best of what the building has and it is a cost driven approach
that achieves tangible results in energy efficiency. The program can be structured, but not limited to the following activities:
• Building specific and HVAC system performance focused activities.
• Coordination of controls and mechanical maintenance.
• Integrated Approach, Structured Tuning Program linked to Maintenance Regime.
• Management, monitoring and reporting.
The proposed building tuning phase will extend the commissioning process through to a monitoring-based program. The program will utilise the BMS
and additional utilities sub-meters to monitor, adjust and assess energy and system performance data to enable the various
systems and the site operators to perform at its peak efficiency. This process will include a weekly interval program which consists of a sequence of
tuning adjustments that will be executed at specific times and assessed over the following week to
evaluate its performance and impact on services and will be structured to address the key issues that impact on customer experience.
The Building Tuning Program will allow the review of strategies at code level, and develop, document and prioritise initiatives for energy and water
reduction. In addition, seasonal adjustments and occupancy considerations are developed and built back into the system over two seasons. This will
also allow feedback provided into maintenance regime to prioritise maintenance tasks Through this monitor-execute-assessment process, the
building will undergo continuous and incremental improvements such that at the end of the tuning program, a significant amount of
savings will have been achieved.

Opportunity 3: Car Park Lighting: Install VRU’s in existing Luminaries
This initiative proposes to install Voltage Reduction Units (VRU) in the car park lighting. The VRU adjust the voltage applied to the fluorescent
luminaries once the lamps are activated in regular voltage settings.
VRU has almost a negligible impact in the lumen output of the fluorescent lamps and can achieve electricity reductions of almost 30% of the nominal
load.
For the purpose of this recommendation calculations have been developed considering power costs reduction of 20%.
The units are easy to install and generally are wall mounted next to the switchboard.
DECLARATION
The information included in this report has been reviewed and noted by the board of directors and is to the best of my knowledge, correct and in
accordance with the Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006 and Energy Efficiency Opportunities Regulations 2006.
