The Coronado Island Marriott and Resort is among the businesses participating in the port’s Green Business Challenge.Two Port of San Diego tenants in Coronado are making a difference when it comes to conserving water and energy – and saving money at the same time.
The efforts by Coronado Ferry Landing and the Coronado Island Marriott and Resort are part of the port’s Green Business Challenge, a joint program between the port and San Diego Gas & Electric. The program encourages port tenant businesses to increase energy efficiency while reducing their environmental impact.
“We joined (the Challenge) to try and make a difference,” said Denise Schwab, the property manager for Coronado Ferry Landing. “Our goal is to identify if there are any deficiencies, and where we can, save money and energy.”
Bud Stevens, the director of engineering for both the San Diego Mission Valley Marriott and Coronado Island Marriott, said the hotel is committed to its energy-conservation efforts.
“The hotel has invested $120,000 in conservation measures,” he said.
