Post# of 44863
Hotel guests and staff are not directly accountable for a
hotel’s overall utility bill. As a result, room occupants
have little incentive to adopt energy-efficient habits.
Yet, guest room energy consumption accounts for
between 40 and 80% of energy use within the
hospitality industry. In addition, industry data shows
that guests remain outside of their rooms for several
hours a day, on average. This paper analyzes room
energy management approaches that accommodate
both guest comfort and efficiency.
