Since its launch in 2000, Hospitable Climates has seen combined cumulative savings by over 4000 members exceed the £14 million mark!  To encourage the sharing of best practice between businesses, a Discussion Forum has been launched on the Hospitable Climates website www.hospitableclimates.org.uk.  The Forum will allow hospitality businesses around the world the opportunity to network.

Do you have an energy question that you want an answer to?  Do you have some information that you would like to share?  Perhaps you are about to install CHP but don’t know how to go about it - chances are that someone out there has done it before and can help you avoid mistakes form their lessons learned.

Maybe you have discovered a great staff motivation technique and want to share it to improve your industry as a whole.  The Hospitable Climates Forum can put you in touch with your peers in the industry.

Hospitable Climates helps the UK hospitality industry improve its bottom line profits and customer experience through the reduction of energy consumption and carbon emissions. 

Bob Cotton OBE FHCIMA, Chief Executive of the British Hospitality Association (BHA) says:

"This is a very valuable initiative which could help many hospitality businesses.  Energy costs are rising rapidly and need to be contained through good practice.  The site has the potential of saving businesses in the industry significant sums of money - not to mention valuable time in investigation and research."

HCIMA Chief Executive Phillipe Rossiter FHCIMA added: "Achieving greater energy-efficiency is the cornerstone of most hospitality industry environmental policies, and the new on-line 'Discussion Forum' will encourage the global exchange of ideas and information that will lead to enhanced 'best practice' energy-efficiency management.  Against a backdrop of soaring energy costs and the Climate Change Levy, which has added as much as 15% to energy bills, it is more important than ever for UK hospitality businesses to sign-up to Hospitable Climates."
