Hampton Inn, Oliver Companies Lauded for Energy Efficiency of New Hotel in Superior

Superior Water, Light & Power

Superior – Oliver Companies was presented an Energy Efficiency Excellence Award on Wednesday for steps the company took to reduce energy waste at its new Hampton Inn hotel in Superior.

Working with Superior Water, Light & Power and Focus on Energy’s energy advisors, the business made energy efficiency a priority when building the hotel last year. Oliver Companies has worked with Focus on Energy in the past at several other properties in Wisconsin, and the company called Focus on Energy in 2015 when they first started planning to build the Superior hotel.

The new Hampton Inn includes interior and exterior LED lighting, as well as energy-efficient heat pumps, water heaters and cooling equipment. The hotel’s annual energy savings will be enough to power 18 average homes for a year. Oliver Companies received Focus on Energy incentives of more than $13,000 for the Hampton Inn project.
