Grand Targhee Resort

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.
  • We are currently evaluating opportunities in:
    • Building tightening (to keep the heat in!)
    • Lighting efficiency
    • Refrigeration efficiency
