In
April, the Doubletree Hotel San Diego, a
237,000 square foot, 11-story, 300-room Hilton Hotels
Corporation property in Mission Valley, signed on to the
San Diego RCx Program. A
customized, in-depth investigation of the hotel is being
conducted by EMC Engineers.
The
investigation is uncovering multiple RCx opportunities
that will reduce the Doubletree hotel's environmental
impact while also saving money. Investigation
efforts are focusing on finding energy savings with the
building's chiller, central air handlers, and HVAC
control systems.
The Program
is providing the Doubletree Hotel with:
·
An
in-depth, customized RCx investigation to identify
energy savings opportunities
·
Documentation
and training for building staff on implemented
measures
According
to Joseph Kruvi, Southern California Area Vice President
and Managing Director for Hilton Hotels, "The
San Diego Retrocommissioning Program offers a
comprehensive incentive package and a great team of
experienced engineering staff. The
application, screening and investigation process has
been very efficient, and we are confident the Doubletree
will achieve significant energy and cost savings. We also value
retrocommissioning's additional benefits, especially
improved occupant comfort and environmental
stewardship."
