Despite ongoing uncertainties due to the impact of COVID, the post-pandemic restructuring of travel and work is creating a new normal for the lodging industry. Nationally, hotel performance has stabilized and is anticipated to improve over the next few years. However, a significant shift has started in the travel industry, with an increasing number of travelers choosing environmentally friendly options.
This trend is not lost on major brands and operators as they realize the financial and environmental importance of sustainability.
A clear example is the requirement of major brands to log monthly energy, water, and waste metrics in their brand-specific reporting tools – IHG Green Engage, Hilton Lightstay, Marriott MESH, etc. – for ease of peer comparison and identification of energy/water efficiency opportunities.

Burton’s Hospitality Energy Services
With 24-hour 365-day operations, hotels come with a significant environmental footprint, accounting for approximately 1% of global carbon dioxide emissions, an amount roughly equivalent to 46 million homes. The biggest lever that owners can pull to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (and operating expense) is investing in energy efficiency. A key factor however is knowing which measures to invest in that will provide the greatest ROI.
An effective utility management strategy is multifaceted and may include energy procurement options as well as energy efficiency upgrades such as LED lighting, controls, BMS scheduling, or HVAC replacement. Additionally, with water and sewer expense increasing 50% over the past decade, water upgrades to plumbing fixtures, laundry equipment, cooling towers, kitchen equipment, and irrigation systems can often lead to over 30% reduction in water use.
Working with over 1,000 hotels on energy, water, and sustainability initiatives for the past 20 years has earned Burton a reputation as an industry leader. Our goal is simple; provide actionable insight into utility expense that reduces operation costs without sacrificing brand standards or guest comfort. We do this all while ensuring the return on investment is 5-7x our fees, which is typically less than 1% of utility expense.
