Facilities Management

Commercial and residential buildings use 65.2% of total U.S. electricity and over 36% of total U.S. energy. In addition to energy consumed, buildings use 40% of the world’s raw materials, 12% of US potable water, and contribute over 136 million tons of construction and demolition waste to landfills each year. That’s a lot of impact! This consumption also creates a substantial expense for cost-conscious businesses.

Targhee is committed to increasing the energy, water, and material efficiencies of all its facilities.

The following is a list of some of our current facilities projects to do just that:

All showers have been retrofitted with low-flow fixtures.
Teewinot Lodge’s room water heaters were upgraded to high efficiency units in the summer of 2005.
Targhee’s space heating propane boilers have been upgraded to more efficient units.
During the off season, heat is turned off in select buildings. This simple measure saves enough energy to power ten residences in Driggs, ID for 1-year.
Hotel guests are asked to request clean towels and sheets only as needed to save water, detergents, and energy.
