Hotel Reservations

What could be better than a hotel located right on the Pacific Ocean? What about one that is working to make itself more energy efficient? Marriott, a leader in efficient practices in the hospitality industry, is doing just that, and this is your chance to see how they do it. This year’s conference host, the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel & Spa, is participating in the SCE Retrocommissioning Program, which offers financial incentives to building owners to optimize existing operations, lower electricity bills and improve occupant comfort.

In your free time, explore the area and try something new – whether it’s kayaking in the estuary of Newport Bay, body-boarding at The Wedge, or embarking on a dolphin safari in the ocean you will enjoy the variety of activities this spot has to offer.

Transformation    The hotel’s retrocommissioning project started in August 2007 and is scheduled for completion by NCBC 2008.

Sustainability    Marriott takes a full-spectrum approach to monitoring and improving energy management systems and procedures, regularly auditing their facility to establish energy savings goals.

Tranquility    After a day of sessions, kick back, put your feet up and watch the sunset from the best vantage point in the US – your hotel room.
