Power to People
Public launch Q2 2027
For New Zealand hotels

Take control of your energy.

See how your hotel's energy use compares with hotels like it, then work through a guided energy audit. Your team does it themselves, at their own pace.

We'll only use your email to tell you when Power to People opens, and never share it. You can ask us to see or delete it at any time. Privacy statement

Why is our gas use still high in summer?
Boiler 1 heats your hot water as well as the radiators, so it runs all year. Start with the heating time schedule in your audit, then check the boiler's summer controls.

Tailored actions

Actions ranked by payback and by carbon, kept separate, with a clear flag and a bespoke follow-on scope list when an engineer is needed on site.

Recommendations
Very high payback potential · typically under 1 year
Match heating times to occupancy
High payback potential · typically 1–2 years
Fit weather compensation to the heating circuit
Medium payback potential · typically 2–5 years
Add variable speed drives to the heating pumps
Low payback potential · typically over 5 years
