Hospitality
Good for Your Business, Good for the Environment
The success of your hospitality property depends on guest satisfaction and reducing operating costs. Take advantage of PG&E services that can help you use energy more efficiently, increase guest satisfaction, reduce operating costs, and green your property. In 2008, PG&E paid more than $6 million in program incentives to hospitality properties, resulting in annual energy savings of over 50 million kWhs and 580,000 therms. This is the equivalent of taking 3,000 cars off the road for a year.

A technical specialist will conduct an assessment to analyze your current energy use and identify savings opportunities. To schedule an audit, contact your PG&E representative or call the Business Customer Service Center at 1-800-468-4743 to determine which type of analysis is right for you.
Benchmarking

Our Automated Benchmarking Service (ABS) makes benchmarking with ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager easy by automatically uploading your historical energy usage and updating it monthly. Benchmarking helps you identify buildings to target for energy efficiency efforts, set goals for improvement, measure progress, and achieve recognition for high performing facilities.
