Energy advice and strategy for hotels and resorts

Occupancy, weather, and amenities can all affect a hotel’s energy use. Heating and cooling, hot water, kitchens, pools, and common areas have different operating needs, making costs difficult to forecast from room bookings alone.

5 reviews your usage, utility bills, and contracts to recommend purchasing strategies and prepare energy budgets. We also help identify opportunities to manage consumption and evaluate sustainability investments across one property or a portfolio.

How we help

  • Electricity and natural gas procurement: Evaluate purchasing timing, pricing structures, and contract terms based on your property’s usage and operating needs.

  • Price risk and budgeting: Assess exposure to market changes and prepare budgets that account for contract terms and seasonal consumption.

  • Utility bills and rates: Review charges and rate classifications and work with utilities and suppliers to address identified issues.

  • Efficiency and peak demand: Review usage patterns and assess opportunities to manage consumption within guest service and facility requirements.

  • Sustainability: Evaluate renewable energy purchasing and solar opportunities, with support for sustainability planning and reporting.

  • Project incentives: Help identify applicable incentives and rebate opportunities based on the property’s location and proposed improvements.
