Hotels are energy-intensive buildings; therefore, in this study, we investigate the indicators used for measuring the energy efficiency of one- to five-star hotels, in temperate and tropical regions of Asia, Europe, and Africa. There are several indicators for measuring energy intensity, but we found that the “total average annual energy use intensity index”, measured in kilowatt-hours per square meter per year (kWh/m² year), was most often used. Surveys and energy audits are the methods used most often to collect the indicator data. Hotels in the tropics tend to consume more energy than those located in temperate zones, with four- and five-star hotels consuming the most energy.

Luxury beach hotels in tropical climates are large consumers of electricity, negatively impacting the environment and their profit margins. Energy efficiency and the incorporation of clean energy are among the main actions contributing to reducing this problem, but the implementation of this second solution is minimal among these types of hotels. A case study was conducted and found that this is primarily due to a lack of space in their facilities. Solutions are proposed by implementing agrovoltaic farms in the areas adjacent to the destination studied. The project is technically, economically, and legally feasible, and the proposed agrovoltaic farms could supply nearly 580 million kWh annually, mitigating emissions of just over 390,000 tCO2e/year and making Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta a "Green Destination," thus contributing to meeting international GHG mitigation targets.

The Technological University of Bahía de Banderas offers the career of Advanced University Technician and Engineering in Renewable Energies. Considering that its program of studies is 70% practical and 30% theory, it is of the utmost importance to have inside a system that serves to perform tests of operation and assembly of hybrid systems (wind, photovoltaic) so that students can acquire the necessary skills to a demanding work field. In addition, a space for solar pumping is contemplated, due to one of the eco-economic areas of the regios; agriculture and livestock, although there are irrigation channels there are remote areas with water needs. It is intended to use equipment, accessories and conditions attached to a common facility in the field of work, so that students when they arrive at a private facility are familiar with real, not theoretical marks, models and diagnoses, as the academic modules normally do. of manufacturers.
