Abstract

Scholars are increasingly prioritising sustainability as the driving force behind their research efforts, and many businesses are placing the customer at the centre of their agendas. Hospitality facilities, such as hotels, are also making concerted efforts to mitigate climate change. The present study proposed a sustainability analysis of the installation of a photovoltaic (PV) system and the replacement of conventional lighting with light emitting diode (LED) bulbs in a hotel, considering economic, environmental and social sustainability dimensions.
