Abstract:
This thesis focuses on designing a sustainable hotel franchise that will reduce the consumption of resources on the built environment. By conducting this research, it will enable the hotel industry to begin to control their impact upon climate change. The information gathered in this thesis on sustainability and the Living Building Challenge will be used in formulating a design which limits the amount of resources used in a regional franchise hotel. Research methods include a literature review and several interviews from representatives of the hotel and design industry.
