Hilton Worldwide has released the 2010 results of LightStay, the company’s sustainability measurement for its portfolio of 10 brands. Hilton saved more than $74 million in utility costs as a result of the following reductions:
- 6.6 percent reduction of energy use
- 7.8 percent reduction of carbon output
- 19 percent reduction of waste output
- 3.8 percent reduction of water use
Over the next three years, Hilton Worldwide will continue to invest in their owned assets to improve building performance. Projects will include the installation of energy-efficient chillers, boilers, motors, building automation systems, water reclamation systems, high-efficient windows, and white roofs. The Hilton New York, for example, will be installing an onsite cogeneration system, which will offset 54 percent of its electrical needs and 33 percent of its thermal needs.
