Resource Efficiency in Hotels

Reducing resource use in hotels does not mean making any compromises in customer service. Take three key resources used by hotels:

• Water use in some hotels can be 3-4 times higher than in others with similar service levels. Try our water savings calculator to see how much your hotel could save.
• Energy saving opportunities exist behind the scenes and during periods of lower occupancy. See the Hospitable Climates website for energy-saving tips.
• One study put food service and consumer food loss at 26% ¹. Another put UK consumer food waste at 6 million tonnes per year². How much does food waste cost your kitchen?"
