Greenview co-authored the landmark 2011 publication Developing a Sustainability Measurement Framework for Hotels, which was published bythe Cornell University School of Hotel Administration’s Center for Hospitality Research. Commissioned by leading hotel companies, the study proposed a structured reporting framework for hotel sustainability metrics, addressing the industry’s need for standardization and comparability.

A key outcome of this research was the recognition of the need for a common sustainability dataset across the hotel sector – a concept that would later form the foundation for the Cornell Hotel Sustainability Benchmarking (CHSB) Index.

Building on this work, Greenview wrote the report Determining Materiality in Carbon Footprinting, which analyzed key factors influencing hotel carbon footprints and explored materiality and relevance in sustainability reporting. The report introduced default coefficients for refrigerant leakage and mobile fuel emissions, which remain among the most widely referenced benchmarks in preparing corporate greenhouse gas inventories today.
