Abstract
The main objective of this research is to determine the internal and external factors of a four-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur that influence its energy conservation. The relationship between the energy consumption versus the number of guest night is also being studied. The findings indicate that there is a significant relationship between the electricity consumption and the number of guest night, and between the water consumption and the number of guest night. No significant relationship between the gas consumption and the number of guest night is found. The findings of this research will benefit other medium-sized hotels that may want to start up with an energy conservation plan as the hospitality industry is now going towards a more environmental conscious trend. In order to be energy efficient in daily operations for medium-sized hotels, it is important that these establishments to look into all factors that are illustrated in the conceptual framework. The researcher also provides the four-star hotel a number of recommendations for further improvement and suggests some relevant areas to be included for future studies.
