Understanding How Hotel Engineering Systems Really Work — and How They Interact
Master Technical Operations to Achieve Your Sustainability Goals!
🎯 Why This Hospitality Engineering Training Matters?
This online hospitality engineering training is designed to provide a clear, structured understanding of how engineering systems operate within a hotel and how they interact with one another. The objective is not to turn participants into technicians, but to give them the ability to read, understand, and question technical systems intelligently.
Eco-certification frameworks such as Green Globe are used in this course as a practical context, not as the core subject. They provide a concrete way to illustrate how engineering systems are assessed, documented, and audited — but the primary focus remains on engineering logic, system interdependencies, and operational impacts.
This course is therefore equally relevant for hospitality professionals, non-technical managers, and future auditors who need to understand what actually happens behind the scenes of hotel operations.
📚 What You Will Learn in This Hospitality Engineering Online Training
How Core Hotel Engineering Systems Function
This module explains how the main technical systems found in hotels work in practice, including HVAC, hot water production, electrical distribution, lighting systems, and water networks. The goal is to understand functioning principles, not technical installation details.
How Engineering Systems Interact with Each Other
Participants learn how systems are interconnected and how changes in one area can create impacts elsewhere. This systemic approach is essential to understand real operational performance and avoid simplified interpretations.
How Engineering Performance Is Observed and Assessed
Using eco-certification audits as a practical framework, this module shows how engineering systems are evaluated, what auditors look for, and how technical performance is translated into measurable indicators.
Reading Technical Evidence and Documentation
Participants learn how to interpret maintenance logs, monitoring data, technical reports, and operational records — skills that are critical for both audit preparation and audit execution.
👥 Who This Training Is For?
This training is designed for a broad range of hospitality professionals who need engineering literacy without technical specialization, including:
- Hospitality managers and department heads with no technical background
- Sustainability managers who work closely with technical teams
- Quality and compliance professionals
- Professionals preparing for hospitality audit roles
- Consultants and advisors working with hotels
It is particularly valuable for professionals who need to understand, question, or assess technical systems without operating them directly.
🎯 What This Hospitality Engineering Training Will Enable You to Do
By completing this comprehensive 6-hour online course, participants will be able to:
- Understand how hotel engineering systems operate and interact
- Identify how technical decisions affect operational performance
- Communicate more effectively with engineering teams
- Interpret technical documentation and performance data
- Approach eco-certification audits with a structured technical understanding
This knowledge is transferable beyond certifications and applies to daily hotel operations, audits, and strategic decision-making.
📚 Course Content
Basics of Hospitality Maintenance
This module introduces the fundamental principles of hotel maintenance, focusing on how maintenance supports operational continuity, guest comfort, and asset longevity. Participants gain a clear understanding of maintenance logic beyond day-to-day troubleshooting.
Overview of Key Technical Equipment
A structured overview of the main technical equipment found in hospitality properties, including HVAC systems, hot water production, electrical installations, lighting systems, and water distribution networks. The emphasis is on understanding purpose, function, and typical performance issues.
System Interconnections and Operations
This section explains how technical systems interact with one another and why they cannot be managed in isolation. Participants learn how changes or failures in one system can impact others, affecting energy consumption, safety, and operational stability.
Essential Maintenance Procedures
An introduction to essential preventive and corrective maintenance procedures commonly expected in hotels. The focus is on understanding why these procedures exist, how they are documented, and how they contribute to consistent system performance.
Hygiene and Safety Standards
This module covers hygiene and safety requirements linked to technical operations, including water quality, air treatment, chemical handling, and equipment safety. It highlights the operational risks associated with poor technical oversight.
Aligning Technical Operations with Green Globe Criteria
Using Green Globe certification as a practical framework, this section demonstrates how technical systems and maintenance practices are observed, evaluated, and documented during audits. Certification criteria are used to illustrate expectations — not as the primary learning objective, but as a real-world assessment context.

📌 Frequently Asked Questions
Can non-technical professionals follow this course?
Absolutely. The course is specifically designed to make engineering systems understandable for non-technical hospitality professionals.
Is Green Globe Certification the main focus?
No. Eco-certifications are used as a structured reference framework, not as the main objective of the training.
Green Globe is used throughout the course because it is one of the most comprehensive and technically demanding certification systems in hospitality. Its criteria provide a clear and concrete way to understand how engineering systems are observed, evaluated, and documented.
However, the knowledge gained in this training is not limited to Green Globe. The same engineering principles, system interactions, and operational logic apply to other eco-certifications — and remain equally valuable even outside any certification context. The primary focus is on understanding how hotel engineering systems function and interact in real operations.

Who delivers this training and provides ongoing support?
This training is delivered by two complementary hospitality professionals with hands-on field experience.
Nicolas is an experienced sustainability auditor in the hospitality sector, with extensive exposure to eco-certification audits and real-world compliance challenges across different types of properties.
Sébastien brings a strong engineering background, with a specialization in HVAC systems. He is a former Chief Engineer in resort environments and is also a Green Globe auditor, combining deep technical expertise with audit-level understanding.
Both trainers are directly involved in the course and personally provide support to participants, answering questions and clarifying technical or audit-related topics throughout the training.
Is this training relevant for professionals preparing for sustainability audit roles in hospitality?
Yes. This training is particularly well suited for professionals who plan to work as sustainability auditors or assessors in the hospitality sector.
A solid understanding of hotel engineering systems is essential to correctly interpret operational realities during audits. This course helps future auditors develop the ability to read technical setups, understand system interactions, and ask the right questions on-site, even without an engineering background. It provides the operational insight needed to assess sustainability performance beyond documentation alone.
