How Your Hotel Can Be More Energy Efficient

Hoteliers in the U.S. spend approximately $2,196 per guestroom on energy costs each year, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Energy efficiency is a great way to not only lower your expenses but also keep guests more comfortable and satisfied with their stay. Upgrading heating and cooling, lighting and other energy-related equipment can help meet new requirements.

National Grid can help hoteliers make their facility more sustainable with programs and incentives for energy management systems, network lighting controls, high-efficiency heat pumps for heating and cooling, compressed air, hot water usage, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and other custom projects*.

It doesn't matter what type of business or building you want to upgrade, National Grid can help, with programs tailored to your specific region: Massachusetts, Upstate New York, New York City or Long Island.

How Incentives Can Help
Replacing technologies that use fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas, with using electricity as the source of energy, benefit the environment and hoteliers. Financial incentives on energy-efficient equipment, such as heat pumps, lighting and controls, and kitchen equipment help hoteliers decrease the amount of greenhouse gasses and lowering energy usage — a win-win for the environment and for the bottom line.

By working through the community and directly with customers, National Grid has solutions to improve energy efficiency. They offer financial incentives that help offset the cost and the technical assistance to assist in upgrading to new more efficient commercial equipment. Unchecked energy use is harmful to the environment, contributing to the release of greenhouse gases.

Improving your hotel’s energy performance not only reduces your property’s carbon footprint, it provides comfort to guests while improving staff productivity, processes and safety on your property.
