In 2006, Wyndham Palm Springs Resort achieved its lowest energy consumption of the past four years. The resort completely redesigned and refocused its energy management policies and procedures and cut electricity use by 871,000 kWh (15.8%), all while keeping guest comfort as their #1 goal. Electricity consumption was down through rigorous employee training, load shifting and SCE's web-based energy tools, allowing the resort to save $109,000. During July's record heat wave, Wyndham Palm Springs Resort earned $5,000 in savings and cut 45% off their highest total peak energy use through SCE programs.
