In conjunction with the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, the American Hotel & Lodging Association has launched an Energy Slasher Challenge. The year long challenge asks hoteliers to track their quarterly energy and natural gas consumption from April 1, 2010 thru April 1, 2011, and report the totals via www.ahla.com/slasher.
Participants can benchmark their progress through GreenQuest, a web-based service free to AH&LA members; EPA's Energy Star Portfolio Manager, or your brand or corporate benchmarking program.
