Energy analysis is important to analyze energy consumption pattern, monitoring on how the energy used varies with time in the building and how the system element interrelate. In this case study, a preliminary energy audit is done on lighting and air-conditioning system. The lighting and airconditioning system consume the highest amount from the total building energy usage. The study was conducted in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Building, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia (UTeM) Technology Campus. From the result shows  that the air-conditioning system has contributed approximately 48.8% from the total monthly energy usage. The estimation of Building Energy Index (BEI) for the cooling load is 655.19 kWh/m²/year. Meanwhile, the BEI for lighting system is found approximately 150 kWh/m2/year.

The paper addresses an important long-standing question in regards to the energy efficiency renovation of existing buildings, in this case hotels, towards nearly zero-energy (nZEBs) status. The renovation of existing hotels to achieve a nearly zero-energy (nZEBs) performance is one of the forefront goals of EU’s energy policy for 2050. The achievement of nZEBs target for hotels is necessary not only to comply with changing regulations and legislations, but also to foster competitiveness to secure new funding. Indeed, the nZEB hotel status allows for the reduction of operating costs and the increase of energy security, meeting the market and guests’ expectations. Actually, there is not a set national value of nZEBs for hotels to be attained, despite the fact that hotels are among the most energy-intensive buildings. This paper presents the case study of the energy retrofit of an existing historical hotel located in southern Italy (Syracuse) in order to achieve nZEBs status. Starting from the energy audit, the paper proposes a step-by-step approach to nZEBs performance, with a perspective on the costs, in order to identify the most effective energy solutions. Such an approach allows useful insights regarding energy and economic–financial strategies for achieving nZEBs standards to highlighted. Moreover, the results of this paper provide, to stakeholders, useful information for quantifying the technical convenience and economic profitability to reach an nZEBs target in order to prevent the expenses necessary by future energy retrofit programs.
