Flex your power: Hotel Energy Efficiency

Good sustainability resources for multifamily were once so hard to find that I spent much of my time immersed in the hotel world. I still wander through it periodically to see what new developments might be co-opted for longer-term residents.

Flex your power, a project created by the California Public Utilities Commission, has a multi-page summary of efficiency and conservation practices. The ideas aren’t all new and they’re not particularly detailed, but as something to give your site and service managers, it works very well.

In the DC area, many of our best service managers came from the hotel world and were already familiar with these ideas when we started to introduce them to multifamily projects.
