The Simplest Benefits of Energy-Efficient Hospitality Design
Sustainability isn't just a feel-good trend – it's also smart business. By incorporating sustainable and budget-friendly materials into your hospitality design, we can:
Reduce operating costs: Energy-efficient lighting, water-saving fixtures, and locally sourced materials can significantly lower your utility bills.
Boost your brand image: Showcasing your commitment to the environment can give you a competitive edge in a crowded market.
The Numbers Don’t Lie: Research on Sustainable Design:
Per the EPA’s research into sustainability in hospitality development:
American hotels spend $2,196 per available room each year on energy alone.
Energy represents the single fastest-growing operating cost in the lodging industry.
This represents 6% of total operating costs. Through energy efficiency design alone.
With basic sustainability design, hotels could show a 10% percent reduction in energy consumption that would have the same financial effect as increasing the average daily room rate (ADR) by up to $1.35 while also improving investments like capital equipment.
