Hotels
The Aloha State is home to a bustling tourism industry, with over a million visitors traveling yearly in search of a paradise experience. As all hotels strive to gain competitive edge, being environmentally-friendly and technologically-savvy will allow you to operate at a higher level in building energy performance, landscaping, and water management.
Energy is also one of your organization’s most easily-controlled costs. An energy-efficient hotel not only improves guest comfort and reduces operating cost, it increases value to the property and strengthens your brand’s image.
Bottom line: the industry is making the shift as we speak.
Will your hotel get left behind?
