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?

How to Optimize your Hotel’s Energy Performance:
Tracking your energy is just the first step—maximizing its value is the next.
- Share your hotel’s ENERGY STAR® score for a professional advisory review. Our advisors translate your benchmarking metrics into competitive advantages, identifying targeted improvements that reduce peak demand, eliminate energy waste, and strengthen your bottom line.
- Optimize your central plant. For most full-service hotels, the chiller plant is the property’s largest electrical load. Consult our advisors before planning chiller modernization or central plant upgrades.
- Upgrade to LED lighting with networked lighting controls.
- Deploy smart HVAC controls with demand response capability.
- Keep conditioned air inside. In gift shops, restaurants, and other air-conditioned spaces, keep exterior doors closed whenever practical to reduce cooling losses.
