The best reward we can think of receiving are the accolades from our customers for the way we've helped them be more successful. Here's what Kelowna's Best Western said about us:
"Swiss Solar Tech (Pro Eco's original company name) installed and integrated a number of energy-saving techniques that reduced energy costs and resulted in elimination of 90 tons of CO2 emissions annually.
Through the use of several different energy saving techniques employed in an integrated fashion, [the team] was able to create a system that is easier to maintain, costs less to run, and operates without substantial input from Best Western staff. The solution set included thermal solar collectors, large water storage tanks, heat exchangers, heat pumps, and laundry hot air exhaust recovery systems. The integrated system greatly reduces the hotel's reliance on its traditional gas boilers.
In addition, Kelowna's Best Western now markets itself as an environmentally friendly hotel, attracting guests who choose to stay there specifically because of its ecologically sound approach to heating and cooling.
By creating a hybrid of independent, energy-efficient upgrades, Swiss Solar Tech delivered great savings at a fraction of the cost by augmenting the hotel's existing infrastructure. With the help of this dedicated team, Best Western has reduced its operating costs by over $6,000 per month in the summer, increased its occupancy, and enhanced its public image."
