Alcor’s Combined Heat and Power systems can be an excellent solution for controlling energy costs while improving the reliability of power supply in hotels and casinos. Energy represents one of the few cost elements within a hotel's control. Three-quarters of the industry's total energy use is devoted to air conditioning, lighting, and heating water—all of which can be supplied cost effectively by CHP. With Alcor, your hotel can do the following:

• Reduce operating costs
• Ensure the availability of reliable hot water and electricity
• Increase energy efficiency and improve environmental performance
• Provide reliable electricity for gaming venues, even during utility blackouts
• Reduce future cost uncertainties by creating a hedge against fluctuating energy prices
  
The market analysis for hotels and casinos developed by the U.S. EPA's Combined Heat and Power Partnership shows that more than 9,000 of the nearly 48,000 hotels in the United States have energy characteristics suitable for current CHP technology.



	Is My Hotel a Good Fit for CHP?
	Do you have more than 300 rooms? Do you pay more than .07¢ per kWh for electricity? Are you concerned about rising utility costs? Do your guests complain of insufficient hot water? Has your hotel ever experienced a utility outage? Does your hotel have a central chilled water system? Are you planning to add new boilers or replace existing boilers?
	If you answered "yes" to three or more of these questions, your hotel is likely a good fit for Alcor’s CHP systems.
