The hospitality sector is a substantial energy consumer, driven by the demands of heating, cooling, lighting and guest amenities. This study explores consumption patterns across different hotel types, highlighting luxury hotels’ higher usage compared to mid-range budget establishments. Key drivers include HVAC systems, hot water. Legislative frameworks, such as Paris Agreement, Sustainable Development Goals European Union directives, set ambitious efficiency emissions targets for sector. Through case studies on Marriott, Hilton Hotel Verde, demonstrates effective energy-saving practices, including LED lighting, smart systems renewable integration, which can reduce use 10–20%. findings show dual benefits these measures, enhance environmental sustainability operational costs. By adopting hotels align with evolving regulatory standards cater growing demand eco-friendly accommodations.

Researchers and companies are placing increasing importance on sustainability to fight climate change. This study analyzes the of hotel installation, photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, transition from traditional lighting light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs. The results show that for PV system, NPV (net present value) varied between 3191 11,959 kTND/kW installation panels has a positive 100% in case high market scenario 79–84% with reduced activity. Regarding energy optimization, use LED bulbs generates an 346 713 TND/bulb, depending self-consumption cost electricity. Ecological studies installing would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 424 gCO2eq/kWh, or 61 tCO2eq/year. Furthermore, social evaluations have shown renewable optimization point view ecological transition. In conclusion, green investments improve hotels. However, fully exploit this potential, change consumer attitudes is needed. Hotels must continue promote their efforts while making guests aware eco-friendly choices. Only combined approach, involving both hoteliers guests, will achieve sustainable sector. objective article therefore examine multidisciplinary interactions development highlighting inherent opportunities approach success hospitality Our methodological combines theoretical numerical study. These play major role projects due economic, environmental, technical, technological contributions, which proves address holistic way.
