Hotel Sustainability Certifications

For hotels, environmental certification depends on their life cycle stage when analyzed.  Different versions of environmental certifications are available for new builds and existing structures as well as the assessment of the sustainability of the operation of the buildings and business.  Hotels, which generally require vast amounts of energy, water, and other natural resources and produce lots of waste, can have a large impact on the environment throughout their whole life cycle.  The circularity and sustainability of hotels during the construction and operation of hotels must be considered in achieving the net-zero carbon emissions goals of hotel owners and operators.
