Abstract
Due to social and physical environmental unsustainability of fossil-based fuel, mankind diverted focus on new energy sources. Smart buildings and renewable energy technologies are crucial in reducing dependency on fossil fuel. Utilization of these technologies by hospitality enterprises are essential in elevating the tourism industry to an environment- friendly level as well as supporting the perception of sustainable tourism. This study consists of five sections. First section focuses on the relationship between fossil energy and environment, second section relationship between renewable energy and environment, third section Smart Building applications, fourth section examines the certificate programs for environment friendly tourism entities from a sustainability perspective. World's very first hotel that runs by 100% renewable energy has been visited and the president of Austria hoteliers federation, the owner as well as the marketing manager of the hotel have been interviewed, the investment and implementation processes have been analyzed to the conclusion that it is not possible for a hotel to run 100% on renewable energy only without cutting down on its room equipment and general services, however there is no obstacle to the integration of renewable energy technologies into hotel operations.
Özet
Fosil tabanlı yakıt kullanımının, sosyal ve fiziksel çevre açısından sürdürülebilir olmayışı, insanoğlunu ikame yeni enerji türleri arayışına yöneltmiştir. Yüksek enerji performansına sahip akıllı binalar ve çevre dostu yenilenebilir enerji teknolojileri, fosil yakıtlara olan bağımlılığımızı azaltabilmemiz açısından önemlidir. Bu teknolojilerin konaklama işletmeleri bünyesinde kullanılması da turizm endüstrisinin daha çevreci bir seviyeye erişmesi ve sürdürülebilir turizm algısının desteklenmesi açısından önemlidir. Araştırma kapsamında Dünyanın ilk %100 yenilenebilir enerji ile faaliyet gösteren oteli, Boutiquehotel Stadthalle Wien ziyaret edilerek incelenmiş, Avusturya otelciler federasyonu başkanı, otelinin sahibi ve pazarlama müdürü ile mülakatlar gerçekleştirilerek, otelin yatırım ve uygulama süreçleri analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular neticesinde bir otelin hizmetlerinde kısıntıya gitmeden %100 yenilenebilir enerji ile faaliyet göstermesinin mümkün olmadığı, ancak yenilenebilir enerji teknolojilerinin otel işletmelerine entegrasyonunda bir engelin bulunmadığı tespit edilmiştir.
