Through a wide array of 2006 programs, Marriott International has saved 4,700,000 kWh of electricity, 136,000 therms of natural gas and $672,000. Programs include extensive evaluation and planning to ensure maximum energy efficiency, actions to cut CO2 by 2% per room, promotion of a linen re-use program, a "group re-lamp" program to ensure maximum lighting efficiency, and peak-load reductions. Together, Marriott's programs have cut CO2 emissions by nearly 4 million pounds.
