Refurbishment and electrification in the hotel sector: four hotels in the historic centre of Rome

A study on four hotels in Rome's historic center reveals significant potential for energy savings and emission reductions through refurbishment and electrification. The research demonstrates that transitioning to fully electric heating and hot water systems, combined with storage solutions, can align with EU targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 60% and final energy consumption by 14%. These interventions not only enhance energy efficiency but also ensure compliance with modern regulations on accessibility, seismic resistance, and sustainability. The approach integrates building envelope upgrades with system-level optimizations, offering a model for sustainable hotel sector development in UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
