In today's economy, hotel operators must constantly look at the bottom-line as the first step in considering any environmental initiative. The good news is that it makes great economic sense to implement environmentally friendly "green hotel" initiatives.... Green Suites International has refined the concept of a "green room" into the EcoRoom offering for traditional guestrooms and the Green Suites Accommodation offering for expanded lodging suites. These green guestroom solutions offer hotel operators a one-stop source for conserving water, energy and significantly reducing waste as well. EcoRooms are a great way to bring together all the pieces of the environmental economic puzzle. In addition to the environmental benefits, properties that undertake EcoRoom initiatives reap the benefits of reduced operating costs, improved guest and staff satisfaction, and enhanced public image. 3, record 6, English, - ecological%20room

One method used to uncover all the things that could go wrong is the "event tree/fault tree" analysis technique. Event tree work is not unlike following a multi-branched trail of dominoes as they knock each other over in sequence. Such analysis allows the tracing of things that could occur after the initiating events. Paths of action and consequences are traced, sometimes to great length. The fault tree technique, a favorite tool of AECB staff members, is a means of finding out what combinations of component and system failures would cause an event in the first place. It provides a systematic method of checking that the systems being relied on to prevent something worse happening won’t be knocked out by the event itself. 1, record 8, English, - event%20tree%2Ffault%20tree%20analysis%20technique
