The PMI GoGreen Cockpit provides a centralized view of a hotel’s environmental performance. It brings together key sustainability metrics such as energy, water, and waste, allowing hotel teams to monitor, analyze, and improve performance in a structured way.

By combining operational data with sustainability indicators, the GoGreen Cockpit supports both cost control and environmental responsibility.

What the GoGreen Cockpit Does

The GoGreen Cockpit aggregates and visualizes sustainability data across the hotel.

Typical areas include:

• Energy consumption
• Water usage
• Waste generation
• Food waste (where available)

This allows hotels to move from isolated data points to a complete view of environmental performance.

Why Centralized Sustainability Data Matters

Sustainability data is often spread across multiple systems and departments.

Without a centralized view:

• Performance is difficult to track
• Inefficiencies are harder to identify
• Improvement actions are less targeted

The GoGreen Cockpit brings this data together, making it easier to monitor trends and take action.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

The GoGreen Cockpit focuses on normalized KPIs that allow meaningful comparison.

Examples include:

• Energy per occupied room
• Water per occupied room
• Waste per guest or cover
• Food waste per cover

By relating consumption to activity, hotels can better understand efficiency rather than just total usage.

Using the Cockpit to Identify Opportunities

The GoGreen Cockpit helps identify where improvements are needed.

Examples:

• High energy use compared to occupancy
• Water consumption spikes without operational reason
• High food waste relative to covers served
• Inconsistent waste patterns across outlets

These insights allow teams to focus on the most impactful areas.

Connecting Sustainability with Operations

Sustainability performance is closely linked to daily operations.

To get value from the cockpit, data should be interpreted together with:

• Occupancy and forecast demand
• Restaurant and banquet activity
• Operational schedules and staffing

If consumption does not follow operational demand, there is an opportunity to optimize.

Supporting Continuous Improvement

The GoGreen Cockpit is designed to support ongoing improvement.

Best practices include:

• Review performance regularly (weekly or monthly)
• Compare current performance with historical data
• Identify trends and anomalies
• Define improvement actions based on data

Small, consistent improvements can lead to significant long-term impact.

Cross-Department Collaboration

Sustainability is not owned by a single department.

Effective use of the GoGreen Cockpit involves:

• Engineering (energy, water systems)
• Housekeeping (linen, water use)
• Food & Beverage (food waste, resource use)
• Management (performance tracking and decisions)

Aligning departments ensures that actions are coordinated and effective.

Linking Sustainability to Cost Control

Reducing resource consumption also reduces operational costs.

Examples:

• Lower energy use reduces utility costs
• Reduced water consumption lowers water and sewage costs
• Lower food waste improves food cost

This makes sustainability a key part of financial performance.

How PMI Supports GoGreen Initiatives

PMI integrates sustainability into daily hotel operations by:

• Providing data-driven insights
• Linking resource use to demand and activity
• Supporting performance tracking and benchmarking
• Enabling structured improvement processes

This helps hotels move from reporting to active management.

Summary

The PMI GoGreen Cockpit provides a clear and structured way to manage sustainability performance.

By:

• Centralizing environmental data
• Tracking normalized KPIs
• Linking performance to operations
• Supporting continuous improvement

Hotels can reduce costs, improve efficiency, and strengthen their sustainability performance.
