CHP Business Impact Scenario

Swissôtel Chicago

The Swissôtel Chicago, with its 662 rooms, is situated in the North Loop area, a hub of dense hotel activity. The hotel faces significant challenges in optimizing profitability, particularly concerning utility, labor, and maintenance costs.

Implementing Combined Heat & Power (CHP) systems could address many of these issues. CHP is particularly effective in reducing winter heating costs for the hotel's expansive 1,200,000 square feet. During the slowest season, when competition intensifies and both average daily rate (ADR) and occupancy rates decline, CHP can help control expenses and ensure that the high standards of service expected at a luxury hotel are maintained.

Key Benefits*

Significant Heating Cost Reduction: Cogeneration can cut natural gas expenses by $400,000.
Enhanced Profitability: The annual reduction in energy costs totals $2.4 million, contributing to a projected $25 million increase in profit over 10 years.
Labor Efficiency: Cogeneration can free up 128,000 labor hours, allowing staff to focus more on guest service.

CHP Business Impact Scenarios use current energy data to make projections and exclude financing and incentives to estimate the Internal Rate of Return and Ten-Year Value. These figures are preliminary estimates, with more accurate projections to be determined by the Combined Heat & Power Primary Energy Accelerator.
