November 7, 2008—Americas Best Value Inn (ABVI) in Las Vegas is on target to realize energy savings of 260,000 KW hours per year, as the 7th smaller hotel to benefit from Telkonet’s in-room energy management solutions for the Sure Bet Program.
Telkonet, Inc., a leading provider of innovative, centrally managed solutions for integrated energy management, networking, building automation and proactive support services, has now installed a total of 7 hotels with the Telkonet in-room, occupancy-driven Telkonet SmartEnergy system, as a preferred supplier under the Nevada’s NV Energy Sure Bet Program.
The 256-room Americas Best Value Inn Las Vegas is the latest property to be installed with Telkonet’s system, which controls guestroom heating and cooling usage based on occupancy, with savings expected to net $26,000 in the first year alone.
NV Energy’s Sure Bet program, which started in 2007, is designed to help smaller hotels achieve significant energy savings through heavily discounted energy efficiency products and free installation in qualifying facilities. The program focuses on improving energy efficiency across four key areas guestroom HVAC control, in-room lighting, common area lighting and vending machine controls. Based on the properties installed to-date in this program, energy savings have been estimated between 15 to 30%, with paybacks typically achieved in less than six months.
