OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL REVIEW MARKET REVIEW LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE PROPERTY PORTFOLIO SUSTAINABILITY & GOVERNANCE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION 109 CDL HOSPITALITY TRUSTS Annual Report 2023 Operational Controls To Curb Energy Consumption Our hotels primarily adhere to the environmental policies and energy management systems established by their respective brand systems. These systems monitor energy consumption practices, guide the implementation of energy-saving measures, and enhance awareness of energy consumption. Primary energy efficiency measures adopted across our individual hotels include the use of Building Management Systems (“BMS”) and Energy Management Systems (“EMS”). These systems assist in monitoring, managing, reporting, and ultimately controlling energy-intensive business operations, thereby enabling hotels to optimise their energy use. Our hotels employ BMS and EMS to determine lighting schedules, operating hours for building functions, temperature settings and other control functions to reduce energy consumption. CDLHT has established a centralised data management platform that efficiently collects, organises and monitors ESG data from all of our properties. This allows for the real-time monitoring of ESG metrics such as energy consumption, waste management, carbon emissions and employee diversity. This data is meticulously analysed to identify areas for improvement and inform decision-making at both the individual property and portfolio levels. Action Across Hotels • All Singapore hotels, Hilton Cambridge City Centre, The Lowry Hotel and Pullman Hotel Munich use Building/Energy Management Systems to manage and control their Air-Conditioning and Mechanical Ventilation operations. This enables the hotels to effectively manage temperatures at optimal efficiency. With actively managed set points, the hotels were able to improve its energy efficiency by approximately 10%. • W Singapore – Sentosa Cove, continues to uphold a commitment to their “2025 Sustainability and Social Impact Goals” aimed at reducing the operational carbon footprint through advancements in energy efficiency and stringent energy consumption monitoring. Utilising industry best practice and the appropriateBMS controls, thehotel is able todelineate areas to optimise 5% - 10% energy usage through alterations to its chillers and Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning system. • After the implementation of solar energy systems at Angsana Velavaru and Raffles Maldives Meradhoo, both resorts have adjusted their operations to utilise energy-intensive equipment during daylight hours, thereby optimising the solar energy generated. • All of our properties conduct regular maintenance and cleaning of critical Air-Conditioning and Mechanical Ventilation Systems to ensure they function optimally.More importantly, in applicable areas, energy consumption is reduced innon-essential zones, limiting supply to equipment like lighting, escalators, and airconditioning to curb energy wastage.
