Lowering Energy Costs In Hotels And Resorts

Managing energy costs in hotels, resort properties and the hospitality industry is a big challenge for facilities managers. Considering the needs of the traveling public for health, safety, comfort and efficiency all enter into the decision making process when considering energy usage. Over 60% of hotel utility costs come from their demand for electricity. That high electric energy demand comes from HVAC systems, elevators, escalators, laundry facilities and lighting not to mention extensive dining and conference facilities. MPTS devices have the ability to reduce the total electrical energy consumption of many of these systems by as much as 20% to 30%. Not only can the MPTS technology reduce consumption but also the energy demand charges which can account for 50% or more of the cost of electricity in many markets.
