  opportunities to save on the bottom line, while
  doing everything to enhance the brand.

  sidesimproving the guest experience and saving
  on costs. Here are great tips for pulling off
  that kind of management success.

• Identify the biggest energy drains in your
  budget. According to the U.S. Environmental
  Protection Agency (EPA), an average 2,196 per
  room is spent annually on energy, or about six
  percent of operating costs.1
• The big targets are electricity and water, where
  small changes reap greater rewards. Set warm
  water temperatures down to a max of 110 degrees
  for in-room use.1
• Turn off lights in unoccupied areas. In public
  and staff office areas, lower thermostats in
  winter and raise them in summer.

• Service all electricity-consuming systems like
  heating, icemakers, and laundry facilities on
  schedule, adjusting to maintain top efficiency.
• Replace old vending machines with
  energy-efficient ones, reducing energy drain by
  up to 50 percent. Replace old T-12 fluorescent
  lighting with newer T-8s for dramatic savings.1
• Guests will enjoy better service from vending
  machines and perceive better quality lighting
  throughout the property.

• In a recent survey of hospitality
  decision-makers, the average estimated monthly
  allocation for laundry was 7,277.
• Every hotel expends significant resources for
  on-site laundry facilities, yet only 49 factor
  it in as a contributor to energy costs.2
• On-site laundry goes straight to the bottom line.
  Just consider the number of line items involved,
  from the detergent to linens, wages, energy, and
  water.

  represent a major part of your laundry costs.

uniforms, returned on a timely schedule. Put
