Abstract: Energy efficiency has become extremely important in recent decades. We can identify two factors leading to the search for energy efficiency. One of the factors is economic spending cuts and the other factor is a concern about environmental issues. Since 1968, with Club Rome, 92 in 2012 and Eco92 at Rio +20, these concerns have been intensified. This paper presents a case study on energy efficiency in hotels, using as base data, the Hotel Brazil, located in Espigão do Oeste - RO, in the State of Rondônia.
