The hotel and leisure sector comprises many different types of business such as hotels, motels, guest houses, pubs, bars restaurants and other catering establishments. Regardless of this mix of businesses there are several common areas where energy is wasted, the most common being heating, lighting, and energy management.

​

• Heating: this can account for 60% of total energy costs. By implementing energy efficient equipment could reduce your heating costs by up to a third.

• Lighting: on average, 25% of an organisation’s electricity costs come from lighting. Installation of energy efficient lighting can significantly reducing energy consumption and improve the working environment for staff.

• Energy management: creating an energy saving plan and giving relevant training to staff can ensure that wastage from staff apathy is greatly reduced.
