Tozour Energy Systems to Assist with First Atlantic County Pay for Performance Project
Tozour Energy Systems, Inc. a full-service HVAC and building automation provider has been selected to work with the Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Center Hotel to implement an energy reduction plan that will save the hotel hundreds of thousands per year in energy costs. This is the first building in Atlantic City, Atlantic County and the entire Starwoods Chain in New Jersey to take advantage of this program.
The Sheraton Atlantic City is a full-service hotel conveniently located next to the Convention Center and in walking distance to outlet shopping, the world-famous Atlantic City Boardwalk and casinos.
Tozour will identify energy saving opportunities throughout the property during an in-depth energy audit. This will include both capital expenditures such as new energy efficient HVAC equipment, and non-capital changes such as eliminating unnecessary lighting or changing system start times.
Once the energy saving measures are implemented the environmental impact of this project will be equivalent to 2,610 trees planted or 148 cars removed from daily use on Atlantic City’s roads. The initiative is scheduled to be complete in early 2010.
The energy reduction undertaking will be part of the New Jersey Clean Energy Program’s Pay for Performance Program, which incents eligible commercial, institutional and industrial buildings to carry out energy reduction projects with official Pay for Performance partners such as Tozour Energy Systems. Upon completion of specific energy reduction benchmarks, the hotel will earn monetary incentives for helping to reduce the building’s impact on the environment.
“The Sheraton Atlantic City is actively re-engineering every aspect of our business operations, finding innovative ways to implement change that reduce our negative impact on the environment, while positively impacting our businesses bottom line and continuing to offer a world class hospitality experience for our guests,” stated Danny Williams, General Manager of the Sheraton Atlantic City. “Working with Tozour Energy Systems on this energy audit will go a long way in continuing our goal towards a greener future,” added Williams.
Kevin Duffy, COO of Tozour Energy Systems, said “Our goal is to help the hotel improve the energy efficiency of its property while still maintaining a very high level of comfort for guests.”
