Energy use and its contributors in hotel buildings: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Energy use is the major source of carbon emissions in hotel buildings. Past studies presented contributors to energy use, most related to hotels' physical and economics characteristics. In search of effective variables affecting energy use in hotels, this systematic review and meta-analysis aims to synthesize empirical evidence. A descriptive picture of 28 previous studies, the arguments for the direction of effects in each variable, and a quantitative synthesis of the mean effect sizes were presented. Among 18 selected contributors from past studies, 15 were statistically significant (0.05 level). The analyses also revealed that the operationalization of the energy variable is important in evaluating the relationship with a contributor. Studies considering Energy Use Intensity (EUI) indic
