2. WHAT IS ENVIRONMENTAL
SUSTAINABLITY?
• sustainability is the endurance of systems and processes
• Environmental sustainability is the rates of
– renewable resource harvest,
– pollution creation,
– and non-renewable resource depletion
• that can be continued indefinitely. If they cannot be
continued indefinitely then they are not sustainable
• Several hotels around the world have implemented
creative cost saving initiatives to reduce their impact on the
environment.

3. SUSTAINABLE PRACTICS

4. Energy
 Use Renewable energy, Maintain energy efficiency
installing energy-efficient technologies such as
appliances, lighting and heating/cooling systems
installed tinted windows and digital thermostats in
guest rooms to reduce the consumption of energy
 For Eg: The Willard Intercontinental located in
Washington D.C. is now running on 100% wind energy

6. Cochin international airport
World first airport fully operate on solar energy

7. ENERGY MANAGEMENT
• Hotel designed in a way that does not require air-
conditioning units in the rooms and public area.
Eg: Tenorio Lodge - Costa Rica
• Hot water is produced with solar heated water with
electricity back up.
• Guests and employees are constantly reminded to
save energy, by switching off the light when necessary
for example.
– 90% of compact fluorescent bulb and replaced now by
LEDs.
– Use of laundry dryer minimized, bio-climatic room built to
dry clothes naturally.

8. Water
• Several hotels have implemented water saving
initiatives.
• Sewage treatment plant
• Grey water is being cleaned and reused through
biofilters
• Water free urinal
• Installation water softener for laundry
• Ice machine and freezer unit discharge water and
this water used to cool the compressor, heat
energy from the unit used to heat domestic hot
water
• Water recycling plant. Eg: Otani Hotel in Jappan

10. Waste
To make sustainable environment in hotel by
reducing the amount of waste produce
In Hotel solid waste, 46% is from food waste that
can be used as organic fertilizer
Electronic waste and other waste creatively used
other part of building
Eg: Willard InterContinental Hotel Washington
D.C., 2009

11. WASTE MANAGEMENT
• Three “R’s” (Reducing, Reusing and Recycling) solid
waste program is respected.

materials such as cans, plastic bottles, tins, paper, etc.
• To avoid the waste, most of the food is bought in bulk
and reusable packaging when available (beer, sodas,
etc.).
• Encourage staff and guests not to use disposable
plastics.
• More than 50% of the waste goes to the compost, to
be used then as nutrients for plants, avoiding the use
of any chemical fertilizer, pesticides or herbicides.

12. Waste Reduction
• Decreasing the amount of waste generated
and disposed using strategies such as
– waste prevention,
– reuse,
– recycling,
• using recycled products
• composting,
• or energy recovery

13. Environmental Health

mixture of plants.
• An edible hill is being planting right in front of
the kitchen to offer a larger variety of fruit
trees, various wild native greens, native
tubers full of protein and minerals and
ornamentals that frame the rejuvenated
landscape.

16. CONSTRUCTION
• Green building practices are increasingly being
used in new and retrofitted developments,
mainly for energy and water efficiency and to
reduce hazardous waste.
