In terms of science methodology, the research utilized the methods of analysis and generalization. The research sample consisted of 23 accommodation facilities with the best results in the evaluation of the use of compact fluorescent lamps and LED lights (96%), central light switches (77%) and the replacement of bed linen and towels upon request (68%).
