Save Money by Going Green

In the Timeshare industries, management is always looking for ways to save on operating cost. In doing so, it can help keep down maintenance fee's. As a member of a Board of Directors of a Timeshare in Miami Beach, Fl., there are a number of things we have done to reduce our utility bills. In the area of electric bills, we replaced every incandescent light bulb in the resort, with the new energy saving CFL florescent bulbs. We have also installed digital thermostats, that have a lock out feature, that keeps the maids from using the air conditioning to dry the floors, after they mop them, and then forget to go back and adjust the thermostat, back to the proper setting. I hope this will help keep down your overhead. Because with the constant increases in utilities, this is an area of the operation of our resorts, that is in our control. Then hopefully we are able to stabilize maintenance fees!!!
