Hotels, motels, and resorts are particularly ripe for energy & sustainability initiatives:
- Energy consumption is high
- Short-term guests are not billed directly for energy
Savings go straight to the bottom line
However, unique conditions also present a variety of challenges to ‘greening’ hospitality properties:
- Continuous operations make implementing changes more difficult
- Controlling, metering, or billing for individual space is typically not feasible
- Sacrificing comfort or disrupting guests is not an option
The timing is ideal for hospitality operators to take action:
- Hedge against rising energy costs
- Capture time-sensitive incentives
- Appeal to eco-conscious customers

Typical Energy Consumption
- Energy is the largest operating expense after labor – on average, $2,196/room/year1
- High demand for hot water – for heating, laundry, kitchens, swimming pools, etc. – is a major cost driver
