Book excerpt: Worldwide, hotels and motels are one of the most dynamic areas within the tourism sector, employing a considerable part of the population in many countries. In some countries, the hotel sector accounts for more than 50% of employment in the entire tourist industry. Due to its size, this sector offers great opportunities for substantial energy savings, both at a global level and at a local level within each site. Before implementing any energy conservation measures, it is necessary to decide which would be the most beneficial, who is responsible, how the effects are controlled, etc. To sustain the positive effects of implemented measures, they must be part of a planned maintenance and follow-up prgramme tailored to each site or organisation. This brochure outlines how to start such an energy management programme, and how to maintain it over time. It also outlines different energy conservation measures, among them inexpensive measures where staff can participate.
