Hospitality industry in China has undergone a breath-taking development in recent years. However, it is burdened both by tremendous energy consumption and the responsibility of environmental protection. The paper is trying to find out the potential in the energy saving and emission reduction. Energy consumption data, in the recent five years, are collected from more than 20 hotels in Shanghai and other eastern China regions. Through the energy conversion factor matrix, these energy consumption factors can be converted into Tce value. Though the analysis of the Tce value, the paper provides a key solution to the problem at hand and possible ways of realizing the goal of establishing basis of carbon emission assessment modeling and cumulative comprehensive energy consumption database suitable for this industry, in the hope of establishing a foundation for future study of carbon footprint of the hospitality industry and its technical proposal for energy saving.

Recent years the hospitality in China has undergone a rapid growth, yet "high input, high consumption, high pollution" characteristics of hospitality have become a burden for future development. The prerequisite for energy saving and emission reduction in hospitality is to establish an effective energy consumption assessment system, which is suitable for the hospitality industry. Though the analysis of the data collected from the hotels in the eastern China, the paper establishes the frame of Monitoring Reporting Verification (MRV) and a multi-dimension comprehensive energy consumption assessment system. Then, the paper assesses the energy consumption of various hotels by using the Monitoring Reporting Verification (MRV) and draws a few conclusions, which provide firm foundations for carbon trading in hospitality and benefit energy saving and emission reduction.
