Collecting energy-related data using a tailor-made tool
Accor, in collaboration with Schneider Electric, has developed a tool for hotels that allows them
to track energy, carbon, and water performance.

Collecting non-energy-related data through an annual survey
The methodology is based on physical data, allowing qualitative variables to be included in the calculation. This
approach reflects reduction levers and accounts the efforts made by hotels.
Primary data are centrally collected (asset attributes, VOLUME/UNIT PRODUCED
activity metrics, etc.) (Kg, Liters, etc.)
Each year, hotels receive a survey aimed at capturing Modulation
