High performance hotels are designed, constructed, and operated sustainably, using energy, water, materials, and land efficiently. But are sustainable hotels financially feasible? Yes, and they are the future of the hospitality industry. This solid analysis of sustainable hospitality development presents eight detailed case studies of successful, sustainable hotel projects representing a cross-section of hotel types: mid-size, conference center, and luxury (small and large) branded and independent properties. Available on CD or in print format (using post-consumer recycled paper and non-petroleum inks).

Funded by AH&LEF and developed in response to industry-wide concerns about rising energy costs and usage, this Guide will serve as a tool for properties to review and evaluate usage, and incorporate strategies for energy reduction. The Energy Management and Conservation Guide details the steps necessary to initiate, implement, and maintain a cost-effective energy management program. Included is information to: understand a property’s energy usage; establish a property’s historic baseline and compare it to industry benchmarks; develop an energy management team and establish incentives; know how to reduce overall energy usage; establish a preventive maintenance program; implement an energy management system; and attain continuous improvement in energy management. The Guide is in a three-ring binder format, which will allow for easy updating.
A series of seminars, also AH&LEF-funded, are being developed with member state associations in conjunction with the publication of the Guide for managers and engineers to learn the strategies detailed in the Guide.
