Solutions for Hospitality and Retail Facilities

Guest satisfaction and customers are the number one priorities in the hospitality and retail sectors. Fortunately, owners and operators can pursue energy efficiency while not compromising comfort, convenience, or the overall brand experience.

Energy represents the single fastest growing operating cost in the lodging industry. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found that a 10 percent reduction in energy consumption would have the same financial effect as increasing the average daily room rate by $0.62 in a limited service hotel, and by $1.35 in a full-service hotel.

Furthermore, reducing energy use across the U.S. hospitality sector by 10 percent would help the industry save over $285 million in energy costs. In addition to delivering financial savings, cost reductions through energy efficiency translate into higher asset values for hotel owners.

Retail companies also spend a significant amount on energy each year - nearly $20 billion. Starting wth low-cost approaches to energy efficiency improvements, all retailers can realize significant savings and leverage those savings into more extensive energy performance upgrades in the future. Supplementary benefits of cost-effective investments include increased sales, higher profit margins, increased worker productivity, and an enhanced reputation for your organization as a “climate steward.”

Blue Dot Services can help you reap the financial and environmental benefits of energy efficiency. By instituting strategic energy management programs, hospitality and retail owners can realize energy cost savings that flow directly to the bottom line - all while enhancing guest and customer experience by improving comfort and reliability.

On average, America's 47,000 hotels spend $2,196 per available room each year on energy. This represents about 6% of all operating costs.
