Hospitality

For hotels, resorts, QSRs and convention centers, decarbonization targets HVAC & hot water, kitchens & laundries, refrigeration and guest-facing operations. Key levers include heat pumps for DHW, BMS-led scheduling, low-GWP refrigerants, food-waste reduction and renewables + PPAs. Constraints: 24×7 uptime, comfort, and occupancy variability across seasons & events.

Sustainable hospitality operations

Key drivers & challenges

  • HVAC & IAQ: VAV/VRF optimization, heat recovery, setback schedules.
  • Hot water & pools/spas: heat pumps, solar thermal, DHW recirculation control.
  • Kitchens: LPG/PNG metering, hoods/MAU balancing, induction/electric transitions.
  • Refrigeration: walk-ins/ice machines; HFC leak detection; low-GWP retrofits.
  • Waste: food waste tracking, composting/anaerobic digestion; linens/laundry efficiency.
Scope 1 — On-site
  • Boilers & DHW heaters (HSD/gas), LPG/PNG cooking.
  • Fugitives: HFCs from refrigeration/HVAC.
  • On-site vehicles/buggies & emergency gensets.
Scope 2 — Electricity
  • Chillers/VRF, lighting, elevators, laundry, kitchens, IT.
  • Rooftop solar/PPAs; market vs location-based accounting.
  • EV chargers & amenities.
Scope 3 — Upstream
  • Food & beverages, linens, amenities, cleaning supplies.
  • Capital goods (chillers, boilers, kitchen equipment).
  • Supplier & contractor logistics.
Scope 3 — Downstream
  • Guest travel (optional), event services, franchise disclosures.
  • Waste disposal & recycling; linen & amenity end-of-life.
  • Leased assets & multi-property consolidation.

Compliance & Frameworks

BRSR / SEBI

Energy, emissions, water, waste and sourcing indicators with audit trails.

CSRD / ESRS E1–E5

Scope 1–3, intensity KPIs (tCO₂e/occupied room-night, kWh/m²), targets & plans.

GHG Protocol + Sector Guides

Refrigerant accounting, renewable sourcing & contractual instruments, waste mapping.
