The hotel industry is equipped with energy intensive equipment and lighting. Air conditioning, heating, ventilation, refrigeration, motors, cooking, laundry, cleaning and office equipment are purchased and used in most hotel operations.
Energy costs over a bulb's useful life are many times the original purchase cost.
Evaluate bulbs by comparing lumens per watt. Consult with refrigeration experts when replacing old compressors and motors to guarantee proper sizing. Water use in hotels varies depending on geographical location, occupancy, property type and season of the year. The average water use is 218 gallons per occupied room per day. Larger properties use more water due to the water intensive facilities often found in the larger hotels, i.e., pools, laundries and restaurants.
