The EYEPOWER™ Solution can help you gain substantial positive visibility for your operation and market your property as a sustainable, green enterprise. An Energy Star (Energy Star is a program organized by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and is only applicable inside the USA) rating is the foundation for achieving both the US Environmental Protection Agency’s highly coveted Energy Star building label, as well as the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED rating (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).

As an Energy Star Partner, Energy Eye’s goal is to improve the performance of your buildings with our energy management solutions. Energy Eye is also an approved vendor of the highly respected Green Hotels Association, one of the longest standing industry authorities on green hospitality. Because of its superior performance, the EYEPOWER Solution will help you achieve higher Energy Star and LEED ratings by contributing more energy savings than any other occupancy-based HVAC efficiency solution.

Energy Star and LEED ratings are highly visible “green” qualifications Being sustainability oriented can help you to attract environmentally conscious travelers, as well as corporate and government travelers who have been mandated by green initiatives to stay in environmentally sustainable lodging.

Recent travel industry research shows that nearly half of all travelers are willing to spend more for sustainable lodging facilities. Not only that, but the majority of them said that they would pay up to a 9% premium.* In IBM’s 2008 CEO study, a full 69% of leaders in private and public organizations world-wide expect Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to have a positive impact and they are making their largest investment increases in this area among all the topics surveyed, including agreed-upon environmental standards of companies they do business with.**

Several major U.S. cities are currently considering legislation to mandate Energy Star performance labels on all commercial buildings, including hotels. In the United States, Europe and many places around the world governments are already requiring commercial and residential buildings to carry energy performance “labels” to show their benefactors (tenants, renters and investors) the efficiency of the buildings energy usage.  The implications for the future are clear: your environmental rating will significantly impact your ability to compete effectively in the marketplace over the coming years.
