AH&LA

Why is an energy management program important to AH&LA members? 
Typically utility costs represent the second largest expenditure for hoteliers, after labor costs. Over the past few years energy prices have increased to historical highs, and market volatility has placed an emphasis on buying electricity and natural gas when market conditions are favorable. Intelligent commodity purchasing, combined with comprehensive energy conservation practices and proactive utility billing procedures, can significantly reduce energy costs at any hotel.

The AH&LA Energy Program , in partnership with Burton Energy Group, is available to all corporate and multiunit members that own and/or manage a minimum of 2,000 rooms. All Burton services are provided in the program and there are no up-front fees or forms to complete. Members are offered a complimentary assessment of energy management opportunities within their portfolio of assets, and can then determine if they want to move forward with an energy management program.

Energy program fees correlate to total room count. AH&LA corporate members also receive a 20% discount. Contact your AH&LA account representative or Burton Energy Group for additional information.
