💡 Low-energy doesn’t mean done.

Even UK hotels running at 80–120 kWh/m²·yr still leak carbon. The blind spots? Hot water 🚿, kitchens 🍳, and grid timing ⚡.

The numbers tell the story:
• Hot water can be 30–40% of use.
• Kitchens running fixed fans waste ~50% of ventilation energy.
• And the UK grid has already shifted from ~419 to ~124 gCO₂/kWh in a decade.

A 100 EUI all-electric hotel has dropped from ~42 to ~12 kgCO₂/m² — with no building changes at all. Same energy, lower carbon. 📉

The message is simple:
Benchmark. Model. Invest. Owners, boards, and banks buy into numbers they can trust.
