Hotel Energy Conservation Program     

• Every property should identify one person to drive the hotel energy conservation and efficiency program.
• Use a per occupied room (POR) approach to energy conservation: Set goals and post and communicate results.
• Monitor, record and post rates of hotel energy and water use. Make repairs or replace equipment when rate changes indicate problems.
• Use an energy management system (EMS) to tie in air handling units, HVAC, and lighting to prevent conditioning space when it is not necessary.
• Create an incentive program to encourage your staff to participate in and improve upon environmentally-friendly practices.

• Place tent cards and decals in guest rooms to offer specific energy efficiency suggestions for guests.
• Use low-energy sleep functions on computers, printers, and copiers.
• Choose ENERGY STAR office equipment and appliances.
• Install Vending Miser on vending machines.
