EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson commended EcoGreenHotel for embracing environmental responsibility and making informed energy choices, which contribute to a positive energy and environmental outlook for the nation.
Since its inception in 1992, ENERGY STAR® has been a voluntary effort to diminish greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency. The ENERGY STAR label is now present on over 50 different product categories, as well as new homes and commercial and industrial buildings. These ENERGY STAR-certified entities meet stringent energy-efficiency criteria set by the government. In 2007, ENERGY STAR helped Americans save approximately $16 billion on energy bills and reduced greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 27 million vehicles according to the EPA.

Interesting statistics and facts that are often overlooked include the significant impact that the hospitality industry can have on energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. For instance, according to the International Tourism Partnership, the hotel industry accounts for approximately 1% of global carbon emissions. Moreover, the adoption of energy-efficient practices in hotels can lead to substantial cost savings. The American Hotel & Lodging Association reports that energy management programs can reduce hotel energy costs by up to 10%, which is a significant margin given that utilities are the second largest operating cost for hotels. These statistics highlight the importance of partnerships like the one between EcoGreenHotel and ENERGY STAR® in driving the industry towards a more sustainable future.
