Energy Efficiency Audit Completed by Q2 2025

Demonstrating its proactive approach to resource management, Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra partnered with EEG to conduct an ASHRAE Level 2 energy audit.

The project was successfully completed in Q2 of 2025. The final assessment delivered to the hotel management outlined a roadmap of 15 distinct Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs). If fully executed, these measures have the potential to deliver substantial annual energy savings in excess of 25%.
