Additional information

The study develops a new method for tourism carbon footprint assessment, Life Cycle Energy Analysis (LCEA), and tests its applicability in the hospitality industry by conducting a holistic carbon impact appraisal of two hotels in the UK. It also outlines a new approach to estimating the carbon footprint of hotel laundry and catering services.

The article has been short-listed by the Environment research division of the European Commission as an exemplary study of high quality and relevance for policy-makers in the EU (energy efficiency category),http://ec.europa.eu/environment/integration/research/newsalert/research_repository/resourceEfficiency/EnergyEfficiency.html, ref. 10 (Accessed 15 October 2013).
