Working closely together, the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel and Willdan developed an implementation plan that substantially reduced the baseline energy consumption, without disrupting hotel guests. Even with increased guest occupancy, meal service, laundry processing, and ballroom and meeting space utilization, these measures have reduced the hotel’s energy use more than 15% in just nine months. San Diego Gas & Electric honored the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel with its 2014 Energy Champion Award for outstanding conservation efforts in the hospitality segment—establishing the hotel as a recognized leader in the implementation of energy efficiency projects in the San Diego region.
