EcoFeature Highlights: Smart Landscaping Can Reduce Water Costs

Smart Landscaping Can Reduce Your Hotel's Water Costs

Summer is here and most green hotels have geared up to make sure their lawn and landscape stays green and beautiful for the enjoyment of guests and improved occupancy rates. As you start switching on those irrigation systems, now is a good time to think about controlling utility costs and being environmentally friendly.
 

 
 
Over watering of lawns and landscapes is the most common cause of water waste. It not only runs up the utility bills, but also can cause other problems including plant diseases as root rot, run-off water that contributes to chemical pollution in streams and lakes, frequent mowing and pruning due to rapid plant growth and excessive "green waste" that has become a costly waste disposal problem for cities and counties.
 
How can a hotel use water efficiently with an irrigation system?
Recent innovative technologies can now help hotel operations reduce waste water and decrease utility expenses. A weather based watering technology, SmartLine, has proven to be an economical choice for green hotels of any size.

How does it work? 
State simply, it's like a thermostat for the landscape. The Weathermatic SmartLine System replaces the existing sprinkler timers that operate like the old egg timer. The SmartLine System uses weather readings from a small, on-property weather station to automatically calculate precise run times for the plants in each zone.
