Intelligent energy management for the hospitality sector

The Context

The hospitality industry faces a complex energy management landscape. Hotels consume more energy per square foot than most commercial buildings, operating continuously with diverse energy demands across guest rooms, common areas, kitchens, laundries, and leisure facilities.

With utility costs representing 3-4% of total revenue and increasing faster than general inflation, effective energy management has become critical to maintaining profitability. Simultaneously, hotels must meet growing sustainability expectations from guests, investors, and regulators.

About PHI

Performance Hotel Insights is a comprehensive benchmarking and analytics platform developed specifically for the hospitality sector. Drawing from decades of operational experience across major hotel groups, PHI provides the intelligence needed to optimise energy and water consumption whilst maintaining guest comfort.

The platform evaluates property performance against evolving industry best practices, accounting for factors unique to each location, construction type, and facility configuration. PHI serves individual properties and multi-property portfolios with equal effectiveness.

Cost Optimisation

PHI identifies opportunities to reduce utility expenses through intelligent analysis of consumption patterns and operational practices. The platform provides clear recommendations prioritised by return on investment, enabling informed decision-making about energy efficiency initiatives.

ESG & Compliance Reporting

As sustainability reporting becomes mandatory across many jurisdictions, PHI simplifies compliance through automated data collection and report generation. The platform supports major certification frameworks including EDGE, BREEAM, and LEED, whilst providing the metrics needed for comprehensive ESG reporting.

Portfolio Management

For hotel groups and property managers, PHI offers centralised monitoring across multiple properties. Comparative benchmarking highlights performance variations, enabling targeted interventions and sharing of best practices across the portfolio.

The Business Case for Energy Management

Recent industry data underscores the urgency of effective utility management:

  • Electricity prices have risen 3.6% annually, with demand projected to increase further due to electrification trends
  • Water and sewage costs are increasing 4% annually as infrastructure modernisation drives rate increases
  • Operating expenses are growing at 6.6% annually whilst revenue growth averages only 2.6%
  • 85% of large companies now have net-zero emissions targets, creating pressure throughout supply chains

Hotels that fail to address energy efficiency risk both financial underperformance and reputational damage. Conversely, properties that embrace intelligent energy management can achieve significant cost reductions whilst enhancing their market position through improved sustainability credentials.
