Energy Benchmarking
With guest room energy usage typically exceeding 50% of the property’s utility bill, decreasing your energy usage by 10% can equate to an increase in RevPAR by $0.60 for limited service hotels and by more than $2.00 for full-service hotels — imagine the savings!
Benchmarking reveals the relative efficiency of a building’s underlying operational systems. It enables owners and managers to evaluate operational performance in comparison to similar buildings.
We’ve helped our clients benchmark their hotels using various energy benchmarking tools including:
- ENERGY STAR® Benchmarking (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency program)
- Hilton LightStay Support
- IHG Green Engage Support
- WasteWise (recognized by the EPA)
Why benchmark?
The benchmarking process allows hotel owners, management companies and operators to view an energy usage profile of their hotels. This energy profile provides insight into which areas of consumption should be focused on to increase efficiency and provide a roadmap of potential green hotel improvement projects.
Benchmarking can also be used as a baseline for the building against which these future improvements and operational changes can be measured. Each year, the building can be benchmarked to see whether or not upgrades had the desired impact of energy use reductions.
