Hotels are implementing both operational and structural improvements to prioritize energy efficiency across their properties. 

Reducing our environmental impact starts with everyday habits—turning off lights, unplugging unused devices, and adjusting HVAC settings helps both guests and employees conserve energy. Every member of the hotel team plays a role in supporting energy and water savings wherever possible.

Reducing energy use by 10% is the financial equivalent to a $0.62 Average Daily Rate (ADR) increase for limited-service hotels and a $1.35 ADR increases for full-service hotels.

America’s hotels are also making operational and structural improvements to ensure energy efficiency is a priority throughout our properties. Smart-energy sensors help reduce energy use throughout many of our hotels by automatically turning off lights and regulating heating and air conditioning systems while efficient light bulbs such as LEDs use at least 75% less energy and last 25 times longer. Solar panels and geothermal heating and cooling systems help some of our members lower their carbon footprint and reduce the use of energy generated from fossil fuels.
