Hospitality

“The high-efficiency lighting not only saves energy while producing the same levels of visibility, but also reduces a major source of heat, which in turn reduces the amount of energy required to cool the rooms.”

See Where Your Energy Dollar Goes

Ever wondered how your business uses energy? The chart below highlights the biggest energy users in hotels and motels.

Hospitality Energy Usage

This chart shows where the most energy is used in the Hospitality Industry. Lighting and HVAC account for over 60% of energy use.

Consider the following energy saving tips

Installing installation of LEDs in common areas and changing out T8’s with new generation T8’s provides substantial energy savings with minimal impact on lighting quality.

Switch to variable-speed drives, allowing HVAC A/C motors to run slower than standard motors, increasing operating efficiency.

Add room occupancy sensors to control thermostats and lighting, which saves energy without compromising guest comfort.
