Understanding where your energy goes is the first step to reducing it. Here are the common hotels energy challenges we help businesses overcome.
24/7 energy consumption
Hotels never close — heating, lighting, hot water and HVAC run around the clock, creating a constant base load.
Multiple meters & buildings
Hotels often have separate meters for the main building, leisure facilities, kitchens and outbuildings — complex to manage.
Guest room energy waste
Unoccupied rooms with heating/cooling and lighting left on waste significant energy — often 15-25% of total usage.
Pool & spa facilities
Swimming pool heating, spa hot tubs and associated HVAC are among the biggest energy costs in leisure hotels.
Commercial laundry
On-site laundry facilities use significant gas and electricity for water heating and tumble drying.
Complex contract management
Multiple meters with different end dates make it easy to miss renewal windows and roll onto expensive rates.
Typical energy usage patterns and costs for hotels businesses like yours.
Typical hotel electricity usage
A medium hotel (50-100 rooms) uses 150,000–400,000 kWh of electricity per year.
Typical hotel gas usage
Hotels with gas heating use 100,000–300,000 kWh of gas per year, with winter peaks 3-4x summer usage.
Average monthly energy spend
Medium hotels typically spend £3,000–£8,000/month on combined energy; larger hotels spend £10,000+.
Potential savings
Hotels typically save 20–35% by switching — a hotel spending £4,000/month could save £9,600–£16,800/year.
Practical strategies to reduce your hotels energy costs — alongside switching brokers for the biggest savings.
Portfolio-wide broker review
Consolidate all meters under one broker or negotiate group rates for multi-site portfolios.
Guest room energy controls
Install key-card controls or motion sensors to automatically reduce HVAC/lighting in unoccupied rooms.
Pool & spa optimisation
Optimize pool heating schedules, use pool covers, and upgrade to efficient heat pump systems.
LED lighting throughout
Replace all corridor, room and exterior lighting with LEDs — hotels save 50-70% on lighting costs.
Half-hourly metering

BMS optimisation
Review and tune your Building Management System to optimise heating, cooling and ventilation schedules.
