Hotels: Please Save Energy, One Degree At A Time

I have written about hotel air-conditioning before on this blog, and I have to raise the issue again. I am just leaving Las Vegas and one thing that drove me completely nuts was the over zealous maids at the MGM Signature that kept turning on the air-conditioning when I was out of the room. As a rule I don’t use aircon in hotels, favoring ambient temperatures where possible, even though it means I have to sleep on top of those Scandinavian style duvets they have in hotel rooms otherwise I’d die of overheat.  Why do mains turn on the air con when you’re out. It is insane!

Hotels- its time to do your bit with some kind of automation to more effectively manage this sink. Hey – you could even crow about it and get some greenwash points. Peace out. Now I am off to fly thousands of miles and emit a ton of carbon dioxide….
