The American Hotel & Lodging Association (AH&LA) has unveiled its year-long Energy Slasher Challenge, which invites hotel owners and operators to report their quarterly energy and natural gas consumption from April 1, 2009 thru April 1, 2011.
Every three months the organization will update an online leader board, and Green Guru Pat Maher will provide monthly strategies, assistance, and best practices to help participants cut energy costs. The grand prize for the biggest average reduction in energy and natural gas is a day with Pat Maher, who will help optimize the winning hotel’s eco-strategy and identify areas to streamline operations.
