Green Technology
It’s official! The Comfort Suites Hotel – Southgate, Michigan has gone green!
We have just completed the install of two solar hot water heating systems. One system is specifically used to heat the indoor pool and the other heats the hot water for the hotel’s rooms, laundry, and common areas. This particular system was custom designed and engineered to maximize savings in all utilities by thoroughly researching & utilizing existing wasted water and heat. The result is a system that will save the hotel over 50% in water heating expenses, a 20% reduction in water usage and 10% reduction in electric usage.
Green Technology is not only good for the environment, it’s good for you wallet! Business owners really need to consider integrating green technology into their strategic planning for long term reductions in operating expenses.
At the Comfort Suites – Southgate, we continuly look for ways to innovate to better serve out guests, the environment, and the community.
