What makes a green hotel?
For a hotel to be a ‘green hotel’, Five-Leaf System requires a number of different factors to be considered and actioned by the lodging, such as:
Lights
Energy-saving lights installed throughout the accommodation.
Energy
Building is fitted with energy-efficient technology & appliances.
Eco-Labels
Ecolabels or other environmental certifications are already in place.
Recycling
Waste is separated appropriately with bins onsite for recycling paper, glass, plastics, and cans.
Water
Water flow restrictors in place to reduce water consumption.
Rainwater
Recovery & reuse of rainwater is in operation for plumbing & gardening.
Renewable Energy
Renewable energy used for power by the accommodation.
Eco products
All cleaning products used are made from natural products including natural & organic products from guest.
These are but a few of the many factors the Five-Leaf System considers when classifying and rating lodgings.
Other factors would also include an active participation and investment in the local economy and community, consumption and production of locally grown organic foods, and use of fair trade products.
