How Sustainability Can Offset Costs for Hospitality Users

Los Angeles

Sustainable practices can mean big cost savings for hospitality users. Implementing sustainable practices could reduce both utilities costs as well as labor costs, according to Eddie Navarrette, hospitality permit expert and chief consultant at FE Design & Consulting. In addition there are several environmental regulations that can impact the bottom line of hospitality users.

“First, we need to look at sustainable infrastructure, which is something that can be implemented at the start of concept,” Navarrette tells GlobeSt.com. “There are many refrigeration or ice machine systems available which have the option for remote condensers. This, together with placement of these refrigeration/ice systems, could be vital in the design or layout process. All these components can help your location become more profitable, as you’ll be saving a lot on your power bill. From a labor perspective, clustering workstations to reduce travel time for staff is a sure way to cut down labor costs. Look at your operation and consider how you or staff can do more by doing less.”
