Abstract
This paper presents the results of a study on energy savings strategies in maritime accommodations. An offshore accommodation with a capacity of 37 persons on board is used as a case study. A base case model is built in dedicated software where yearly simulations are run using weather data from hot and cold environments. The relation between the number of person on board (POB) and the total yearly energy consumption (W) is given by the following equations for hot and cold environments: W total, cold environment = 0.013·POB 2 + 23.84·POB + 160.83 W total, hot environment = 0.044·POB 2 + 18.32·POB + 93.04 Most energy is consumed by the HVAC system. A package of energy saving strategies is proposed and evaluated, leading to 32% yearly energy savings with a payback time of 2 years for newbuilds and 4 years for retrofits.
