Carbon footprint is defined as the total sets of greenhouse gases that are emitted by a product, organization, services or an organization. This is a recent area of development on the field of climate change and global warming, where a base line for carbon dioxide equivalent emissions are calculated that are useful in tracking the future emissions. The greenhouse gases are to be reduced to the maximum as it is a threat to the global mean temperature’s increase and it destroys sustainability. In this study different star categories of hotels in a metropolitan city are taken as the fields of study, whose carbon footprint is calculated so that it will give an idea of what carbon emissions is happening actually in a metropolitan city due to these hotels. It is a comparative study which gives light on which type of hotels can be chosen for a long run so that the environmental sustainability is achieved and the emissions are to a minimum level. The area chosen for this study is Chennai, which has a various attraction for tourists and business people all over the year, and always there is a high demand for the hospitality sector to cater the needs of the customers. All the three scopes of Carbon emissions according to the greenhouse gas protocol has been taken into account for the calculation of emissions which are direct, indirect and other indirect emissions. Thus by arriving at a base line it will be useful to measure the further reductions on a yearly or monthly basis. Suitable energy conservation measures are also given accordingly to address the areas where energy can be conserved and best practices are also discussed so that energy optimization is possible.
