As the second largest expenditure for most lodging establishments, energy can play a big role in your business' success. Increasing energy efficiency can raise comfort levels and provide a more satisfying experience for guests, in addition to reducing operating costs and maintenance demands.

Starting Points

• Lighting comprises one-third of the electricity costs for a typical lodging facility. Improving your lighting efficiency is relatively simple and it can reduce your cooling load by up to 30 percent, so it's a smart place to start.
  
  
• The cost of cooling and heating your facility typically comprises half of your electricity bill. Lodging owners can reduce cooling costs without sacrificing guest comfort.
  
  
• You can also save with refrigeration, IT, motors and custom projects.

Financing
APS is partnering with National Bank of Arizona (NB|AZ) to offer low interest rate financing to commercial rate customers participating in the Solutions for Business program. APS rebates can reduce a significant portion of the project costs and financing may cover the rest.
