DESIGN ASSISTANCE, REBATES AND INCENTIVESARE AVAILABLE FOR THE FOLLOWING MEASURES:NATURAL LIGHT – Utilize natural daylight to illuminate common areas such as lobbies,reception areas, and conference halls. Daylighting can substantially minimize energyuse while enhancing the functionality of interior space. Choose appropriate windowglazing to control direct thermal gain from sunlight. The sun’s energy can be used asan energy saving heat source, or blocked to reduce cooling load, depending on localclimate conditions.

LIGHTING – Install compact fluorescent lighting in guest rooms and common areas.Substantial energy savings can be achieved with minimal impact on lighting quality.

HEATING AND COOLING – Utilize heat pumps for guest room heating and cooling.Water-source and air-source heat pumps are typically among the most efficient unitaryheating and cooling units available.CONTROLS – Install guest room occupancy sensors to control thermostats and lighting.By turning off light fixtures and allowing heating and cooling set-points to float inunoccupied rooms, significant savings may be achieved without compromising occu-pant comfort. Install occupancy-activated bi-level light fixtures in stairwells and linenclosets. Areas that see transient or infrequent use can reap large energy savings byusing self-adjusting light fixtures.PROCESS LOADS – Specify pre m i u m - e fficiency motors for pumps and cooling equipment.DEMAND RESPONSE STRATEGIES – Shift on-site laundry operations to off-peak times.Avoiding electricity use during peak utility periods can reduce energy demand anddrastically lower utility bills

COOL ROOFS – Use highly reflective roofing material to reduce the absorption of thermal energy from sunlight and lower air cooling requirements within the facility.

COMMISSIONING – Insist on new construction commissioning, retro-commissioning, orre-commissioning to ensure that building systems are built and operate as intended

OTHER STRATEGIES• Install low-flow showerheads in guest rooms; faucet technologies can save large

amounts of energy and water with little or no loss of functionality. • Implement an optional towel-sheet reuse program; by allowing guests to choose

to re-use their sheets and towels for more than one day, major energy, water,and cost savings may be realized.

• Train employees to conserve energy and promote efficiency.

“The Fairmont Hotel has a‘Green Initiative’ so we are verypleased with all the savings weare able to achieve: significantsavings in energy consumption,as well as maintenance costs. We retrofitted lighting withlonger-lasting compact fluorescents, installed variablefrequency drives on the fan systems, and installed occupancysensors in the ‘back of the house’.We achieved a load reduction ofabout 34.79 kW, and receivedover $3500 in rebates to boot. A great program all around.”
