Environmental Management for Hotels


Environmental Management for Hotels, the industry-acclaimed guide to quality environmental management and sustainable operations, is now available in its third edition.

This manual provides hotels and other related businesses with the knowledge and means to develop practical solutions to 'green' their operations. The manual focuses on key areas such as energy management, water conservation, waste management, purchasing and supply chains, food safety and environmental health, as well as case studies to guide companies as they implement these practices. This is an invaluable working tool with its wealth of reference material designed to promote successful resource management.

This latest edition includes 350 pages of fully revised and updated technical advice, handy charts, tables and supporting materials and a wealth of further sources of information. Case studies showcasing best practice in the management of each issue have been grouped at the end of the publication for easy reference. The new format also makes the manual more user-friendly with dividers that clearly separate the sections for quick reference and a ring-binder design that is eco-friendly and allows you to add your own material overtime.

Robert Kennedy, Vice President Technical Services Europe, Hilton International commented: "Hilton issued the first edition to all of its hotels when it was initially published. I used it as a property engineer and found it to be very useful. Since then I have ensured that all of our new acquisitions have been issued a copy. This is one of the most practical and certainly the most thumbed informational publication in any Engineer's office."
