Hospitality utility challenges
Four of the biggest utility challenges for hospitality venues include:
High energy consumption
Hospitality venues typically operate long hours – often 24/7 for hotels and extended late hours for restaurants and bars. Lighting, HVAC systems, commercial kitchens, laundry facilities, and refrigeration units all consume large amounts of energy. For instance, restaurants can consume 5-10 times more energy per square foot than other commercial spaces.
Investing in energy-efficient equipment pays off quickly in hospitality spaces due to high usage levels. Utilising LED lighting and energy efficient kitchen appliances alongside smart thermostats and occupancy sensors can help your hospitality business cut energy costs.
Energy procurement
Hospitality businesses are among the most likely to be effected by energy price volatility due to their high energy consumption – that’s why effective energy procurement in the hospitality sector is essential for businesses looking to successfully manage the cost of their utilities.
We can help you source a tailored energy contract and support you through the full process with a dedicated Account Manager. Your Account Manager will be your central point of contact and communicate account updates, ensuring your energy buying strategy is on track.
As a Consultiv customer, you will also benefit from access to the Consultiv Connect Portal.
Waste management compliance
With greater focus on sustainability within the hospitality sector it’s important for all venues to stay up to date with the latest waste management legislation and practices.
As of March 2025, new Simpler Recycling legislation impacts all businesses with over 10 FTE in England. We can help you source waste contracts that reflect the amount of waste your venue produces and assist you in managing your waste collections with a dedicated waste Account Manager.
Effective water management
From guest services to operation needs, hospitality venues depend heavily on water – with the sector accounting for approximately 15% of total commercial water use in the UK.
Our water team can guide you through the complex business water market – ensuring you choose the most competitive water contract available to your business.
