EPA WaterSense program encourages hotels to take the H2Otel Challenge
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has decided to help hotels check into the benefits of saving water.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) WaterSense program and its partners are encouraging hotels to take the H2Otel Challenge. Since hotels and other lodging businesses account for approximately 15% of all water used in commercial and institutional facilities in the United States, the EPA has decided to help hotels check into the benefits of saving water.
WaterSense will provide hotels with tools and training on best management practices to save water, energy and money. Hotels need only to visit the WaterSense website and sign a pledge to “ACT”: assess water use and savings opportunities; change water-wasting products or processes to save water; and track their results.
