Most hotels are counted among businesses who are turning to eco-friendly practices for help. And for HEI Hotels, their efforts have paid off as they have been awarded the 2009 Corporate Energy Management of the Year Award, scheduled to be given at The Association of Energy Engineers (AEE)’s Awards Celebration Banquet, held in conjunction with the World Energy Engineering Congress (WEEC), on November 4 of this year. The event will be held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

“Energy consumption is one of the leading issues facing the world today,” said Bob Holesko, CEM, vice president of facilities, HEI Hotels & Resorts. “This recognition validates our belief that ‘going green’ is something that all companies should work to achieve. Incorporating new technologies that improve energy efficiency and that recycle and reuse goods creates a win-win situation for everyone involved. Reducing energy consumption is just part of HEI’s commitment to becoming a better member of each of our communities.”

The award honors HEI’s dedication to the “green movement” via its concerted effort to reduce its carbon footprint, retrofit the fixtures at its properties with energy-conserving light bulbs, and better manage heating and air conditioning systems to decrease cooling water consumption.
