Green-Certified Vacation Rentals Program

(January 16, 2008 - DTN) -- VacationRental.org (VRO) has announced its Green Certified Vacation Rental program. The certification identifies environmentally friendly vacation rentals that meet recycling, energy efficiency and energy conservation standards. Properties qualify for the designation if they meet three criteria: A recycling program available for guests, and encouragement of its use; compact fluorescent bulbs or LED bulbs for lighting wherever possible.

Finally, guests must be encouraged to reduce energy use as much as possible by turning off lights and appliances whenever rooms are vacant and by turning off heating and air conditioning when doors and windows are open. Individual vacation rental owners are responsible for implementing the standards themselves, and must apply to VRO to receive the designation. For more information, visit www.vacationrental.org.
