Switch to compact fluorescent lightbulbs in guestrooms, lobbies, and hallways. Use sensors and/or timers for areas that are infrequently used.
Use daylight exclusively in your lobby, bar, and restuarant for as much of the day as possible. Consider installing skylights if needed.
Replace exit signs with Light Emitting Diode (LED) exit signs.
Change your exterior lighting timer switches to turn on and off by zones. For example, create zones of every third lamp, and have each zone turn on 30 minutes apart, and turn off 30 minutes apart, instead of all at once.
Where fluorescent lighting is impractical, convert lighting to low wattage bulbs wherever possible. Remember that "watts" cost and lumens measure light output.
Install low-wattage bathroom and foyer night lights to discourage guests from leaving on less-efficient lights.
Increase guest-room light levels by installing translucent lampshades. Switch to high-pressure sodium or low-wattage metal halide lamps for outdoor lighting.
Install motion sensors in offices and shops (including laundry and housekeeping). This makes sure the lights are off when no one is in the room. Great for public restrooms also.
