Utility Health Check
HCW, a business alliance forged in 1992, is energizing communities with new development in several states. HCW, LLC has become widely known for its unique ability to assess the needs and wishes of a community and bring esthetically appropriate development that blends with the best features of each community. Today HCW has 6 hotels open and 6 more under construction.
The problem
The Midwest Hilton Ownership group had been very proactive with energy efficiency—specifically LEDs and HVAC controls—but had never hired a firm to audit utility bills.
How we solved it
Vurge reviewed all of the Hilton facilities. There were multiple energy cost savings opportunities related to natural gas rates and sales tax.
Vurge completed the predominant use studies and worked for months with the utility and suppliers to find the best natural gas rate.
In addition, Vurge helped maximize energy incentives for a new, energy-efficient construction project.
