WHY CALCULATE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT?
• Corporate customers are increasingly asking for this information
• To be prepared for mandatory reporting
• To understand the environmental impacts of your business...and start to manage and reduce these
• To demonstrate your commitment to environmental management
• In order to offset it
• To help you reduce costs
www.tourismpartnership.org
BUT COMPARING CARBON FOOTPRINTS CAN BE LIKE...
www.tourismpartnership.org
THE HOTEL CARBON MEASUREMENT INITIATIVE (HCMI)
• Developed by ITP, WTTC, KPMG and 23 global hotel companies • Methodology and tool to calculate and communicate the carbon footprint of a guest stay or meeting/event in a uniform way which includes;
• Scope 1 • Scope 2 • Scope 3: outsourced laundry only
• Reports carbon footprint; • Per occupied room • Per area of meeting space per hour
• Used by over 24,000 hotels globally; over 1,000 requests for methodology in 90 countries

Carbon tool overview : main insights
1. Select your carbon tool depends on your objective !
- Be compliant with a standard or regulation?
- Communicate or not / to the customers or shareholders or institutions?
- Manage action plan or not?
- Including cost analysis or not?
2. To communicate globally: need of a common methodology
- Do not multiply CO2 communications like eco-labels displays
- Need of coherence: same scope, common methodology, same emission factors
- If possible: coherence between hotel / campsite / activities / restaurants

Behavioural strategies don’t work
• Assumes utilitarian,
rational decision-
making
• Solution is to provide
transparent
information to the
market
• Ineffective
– Irrational
– Search limited info
– Assumes people link their
behaviour to impact
– Assumes impacts are
understood, or benefits
promoted are desired
– Habits and cultural norms
lock behaviour
VisitEngland data on English consumers
• 58% would want to stay in accommodation with green awards/environmentally friendly practices
• 51% say that if two hotels were the same, they would choose the one with a green award
• 46% don’t want to think about being green - they want to relax
• 33% believe sustainability claims are often ways to save money and/or reduce service
• 15% think a hotel run sustainably will be less comfortable than one without green credentials.
Reactance to climate change
• Consumerism
• Individuals value
their perceived
freedom to make
choices and why
they react
negatively to any
threats to their
freedom
1. Deny the threat of climate change
2. Realign tensions arising from travel
3. Apportion blame for the impacts of
travel,
4. Increase demand, particularly with
respect to threatened destinations
5. Dismiss value of threatened behaviour

The start
Carbon management training + tool (carbon
calculator)
KEY INSIGHT: Industry-based need for
innovation: an accurate robust strategic
tool for reducing the carbon footprint of
a total holiday package (transport,
accommodation, excursions /activities,
local transport).
The journey
KEY INSIGHTS: Alternative view for the
industry was needed: economic profits
through climate change mitigation can
lead to cost reduction as well as
secondary economic profits (meet
consumer expectations)
When a practical tool on carbon
management is to be developed a strong
need from and collaboration with the
industry is essential
Benefits
KEY INSIGHT:
Make use of a combination of global
web-based sources and technologies
and provide a very user friendly, VERY
detailed and accurate calculator
Level of detail: • 25 accommodations
types • 500,000 real acco’s • FC for 35 million flights • 21 high FC activities • 25 transport modes • Automatic distance
calculations
Challenges KEY INSIGHTS:
Essential to stimulate management
thinking about low carbon product
portfolio development and to include
carbon emissions next to parameters like
market shares and profits
To stimulate carbon management
thinking among travel professionals
worldwide and to get their engagement to
develop lower carbon products
To innovate tourism products combining
lower carbon footprints with creating
better places for people to live and visit
Next steps
KEY INSIGHTS:
Carbon information/labelling should be
actively encouraged and based on
easily understood labels, absolute
performance and a world standard
Strong need for international
collaboration for further development,
replication and finance of this
innovative easy-to-use tool

Benchmarking Methodology
Assumptions
At first, neZEH focused on defining
benchmarks taking into account only
the typical use of the building, as
suggested by the EPBD
EinB2014 - 3rd International Conference “ENERGY in BUILDINGS 2014”
104
Hosting functions Zones in which the standard indoor environmental conditions are required: • Guests’ rooms • Reception hall • Offices • Bar and restaurant • Meeting rooms
Non-hosting functions Additional energy uses, such as: • Spas • Swimming pools • Saunas • Gym • Kitchens • Laundry • Technical rooms etc.
Will be considered at a second phase “modular” benchmarking, to be used in
providing recommendations to policy makers for dealing with nZEH complexities.
Solutions COP21, Grand Palais, Paris, 8th December 2015
Benchmarking Methodology Factors taken into account
Climate zones
• Pilot hotels represent all 5 European climatic zones making sure that outcomes are representative for each of these zones, providing replicable examples for all the regions of Europe.
Hotel typologies
• For the scope of the project, four hotel typologies were defined:
I. Coastal
II. Mountain
III. Urban
IV. Rural
• Each of the target countries had pre-defined the hotel typologies within its region, so as the 5 candidates going to the pre-audits phase would represent these typologies.

• to assess the current energy status, to prioritize appropriate energy efficiency and renewable energy
measures.
Feasibility study
• to identify feasible renovation scenarios and serve as a decision document for the hotel owners
• to identify possible funding sources and produce a rollout plan for renovation
Tender preparation, selection of contractors and monitoring
• to identify suitable funding solutions and proper ways of contracting e.g. through EPC
• to advise hotel owners on how to monitor all phases of the project implementation
Training of hotel management and staff
• to achieve maximum efficiency and best use of the solutions found for the pilot project
Marketing tools
• to help hotel owners build a communication strategy that will highlight the benefits of staying in a neZEH hotel and help them reach to potential guests
Promotion and increased market visibility at national and EU/International level

Hotel Energy Solutions e-toolkit
HES e-toolkit was developed in the frame of the Hotel Energy Solutions project, co-funded by IEE
It enables hotels to assess their current energy use and compare it with an energy benchmark
It also provides recommendations in energy efficiency and RES applications according to the hotel’s characteristics, geographical location and main available natural resources.

Technologies Ranking Tool
Suitable solutions/techniques, to be implemented in hotels towards nZEB, were grouped in different categories
• energy management
• reduction of heating and cooling demands
• equipment efficiency
• system efficiency
• renewable energy
A software tool has been developed to rank – at national level - the identified solutions according to three ranking aspects:
1. potential energy savings
2. size of the financial investment a
3. profitability of the financial investment
