San Francisco Energy Watch has assisted a wide spectrum of industries, including restaurants, schools, retail stores, offices, residential properties, hotels, and more. The primary purpose of this program is to reduce energy use in San Francisco in keeping with the city's long-range plans to make San Francisco more environmentally sustainable.
" As the only San Francisco hotel to earn the US Energy Star Award six years running, we take our carbon footprint seriously. San Francisco Energy Watch has helped us maintain our energy consumption low."
- Joseph Curran, Marketing Director
Hotel Nikko has been operating for 22 years in the heart of San Francisco . The hotel consists of 510 guest rooms and 22 suites, an atrium-covered 15-meter pool, a dinner theatre, as well as a 24-hour health club featuring the latest cardiovascular equipment, steam rooms, dry saunas, and a whirlpool spa.
Hotel Nikko employed their own contractors to replace incandescent bulbs and MR-16s lamps with 2,270 energy saving bulbs, CFLs, in guestrooms, elevator and escalators. About 340 CFLs were installed in the lobby and 64 in the exterior of the hotel. In the swimming pool area, 30 T8s linear fluorescent lights were retrofitted and 26 energy-saving bulbs were installed.
The hotel's management realized the quick payback on their investment by taking advantage of San Francisco Energy Watch's high financial incentive and free technical services. Hotel Nikko not only reduced its energy consumption but also received positive feedback from employees and guests, enabling it to respond more affirmatively to its green initiatives.
