Each month, we try to share with you interesting ideas and developments in the world of energy efficiency and sustainability, with the hope that something we and our customers have learned or done may spark an interest with you.  This month we are proud to feature our newest case study, describing the success we had working with a large hotel chain driving down energy reduction and cost over a 3-year period.  I hope it creates a spark within you, and gets you started or reinvigorated in your own journey.

Over the period of the 3 year energy program with this customer, Servidyne faced a daunting challenge:  Our fees and the relationship itself were tied to a commitment to reduce consumption by an average of 3% or more each and every year, meaning a total reduction target of roughly 10%.  This had to be achieved, as you might imagine, with no sacrifice in guest satisfaction and comfort.  Please read to find out how the program was designed and delivered, and what the results have been.  If you would be interested in challenging us to deliver similar results, and to drive a similarly impressive improvement in the bottom line of your buildings' operations, please give us a call.

Happy readings, and we'll be back in touch again soon!

Featured Case Study

Servidyne Enables $11 Million in Energy Reduction at One of the World's Largest Luxury Hotel Chains  

Energy Management Solution Program
Servidyne's relationship with the hotel chain began with its proprietary CMMS called
iTendant, benchmarking and utility monitoring. It then grew to a three-year Energy Management Solution Program designed to reduce energy consumption through applied engineering services. 

 

The three-year challenge began with conducting assesments of the properties through comprehensive baseline energy audits for new hotels, continuous commissioning assessments for existing hotels and the identification and analysis of new energy savings opportunities throughout the portfolio. After the initial assessments were completed, Servidyne and the luxury hotel chain began developing a strategic annual operating plan for implementing improvements, maintaining performance, and measuring results.

 

Find out how the program proved to be a success. With more than 400 energy projects were undertaken and $11 million in cost savings for the hotel brand.

Energy Audits are Your Roadmap to Greater Energy EfficiencyEnergy Audit Road-map

 

Conducting an energy audit of your building or facility is an essential starting point for increasing building performance and increased energy efficiency. Audits are a road-map of your asset infrastructure, energy usage and costs. Conducting an energy audit at the start of your program implementation allows you to gauge where you are today, and what you can do to realize a better tomorrow.

 

The key to implementing a successful sustainability program and/or energy efficiency measures is to use the knowledge gained from your energy audit. With this knowledge, Servidyne can help you identify ways to lower costs, improve efficiency, improve maintenance and operations, and improve your bottom line. Our energy audits can tell you whether or not your systems are performing efficiently and effectively, and whether or not they are properly meeting the needs of your tenants, guests, customers, and employees.

How Did You Celebrate Earth Day 2011? 

 

We hope you didn't forget that April 22 was Earth Day. Did you know that Earth Day is a relatively new holiday and was first celebrated in 1970? Since its start, Earth Day activities have grown more popular every year - now making it one of the largest civil observances in the world.

So how did you celebrate Earth Day?  Here are a few suggestions to keep in mind for next year:

  • Plant a tree
  • Go outside an play / visit a park (the world's first national park was started in 1872 at Yellowstone National Park in the U.S.)
  • Walk, bike or take the bus to work (one bus carries as many people as 40 cars)
  • Start recycling (84 percent of all household waste can be recycled)
  • Switch to more energy efficiency light bulbs
  • Cancel junk mail (catalogs, credit card companies)

 

 
Servidyne at the ALCA Conference

 

ALCA The Missing PieceServidyne participated in the Spring 2011 Advanced Load Control Alliance conference in San Antonio April 6-7. Utility representatives from across the country attended this event. During the conference, Servidyne presented a proven approach to enable complex building owners and operators (commercial office, hotels, healthcare) to successfully participate in and benefit from Utility Demand Response Programs across the U.S. and Canada.
