Energy Consumption

Hornblower companies are taking bold actions to get our carbon meter dials headed in the right direction. As part of Respect Our Planet, we want to inspire visitors to identify and implement measures to reduce energy consumption in their own lives. We all play a part and we can all make a difference.

Here are some simple changes we have made to reduce our energy use in facility and vessel operations, and we encourage other businesses to do the same:

  • T-8 Fluorescent lighting retrofits
  • Use XLERATOR® Hand Dryers which use 80% less energy
  • Purchase ENERGYSTAR® rated electronics, appliances, office equipment, lighting, food service equipment, and other products wherever they are available
  • All new photocopiers and printers have duplex and sleep capabilities
  • Utilize water conserving fixtures and appliances
  • Use of low VOC or ZERO VOC paints and adhesives
  • Exclusive use of environmentally friendly cleaning products
