Cornell has gathered information from more than 8000 hotels worldwide so they can benchmark how their hotels are managing their environmental impacts. As reported on greenlodgingnews.com, “The results are presented in the CHSB2016 Index report, where users can obtain the range of benchmarks for energy consumption, water consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions for hotels within specific segments and geographic locations.”
Cornell is providing the report free of charge.
