As explained in the accompanying report, the tool consists of two outputs: full data tables, and a searchable index. Twelve full data tables are provided, each on a separate tab containing the benchmarks for a single measure. Each data table contains the list of geographies and the benchmarks per segment. The data tables can be used for research and calculation purposes for multiple properties and regions.

Using the tool, a hotel could view the statistical range of the location and segment's data for the metrics of carbon footprint per room, per occupied room, and per area unit (either square foot or square meter); hotel energy use per occupied room or per area unit; and water use per occupied room or per area unit. A benchmark for HCMI carbon footprint for rooms and meeting space is also included. The benchmarks are for calendar year 2013, the most recent year with complete available data.
