Courtyard by Marriott - Mt Arlington, NJ

Case Study

For our Courtyard by Marriott, Mt. Arlington, NJ. Rick was proactive in sourcing the idea of utilizing rebates we did not know were available to us and presented it to us along with the supporting documentation for the energy savings, products and installation plan for this property to receive a free lighting bulb upgrade throughout the property that was valued in excess of $33k for product and installation. This measure dramatically reduced the electric consumption and annual operating cost

Green Rebate Program

CGS started with simply advising us on a couple issues we were having on utility bills, then became more active in auditing our utility bills and then proactive in finding us FREE incentive money, and equally important managing the process from start to finish, for our new builds. We have given them a couple hail Mary's and they have scored each time. They are a trusted partner who only brings opportunities to us and our trusted partners that make sense. Selling what we need, not everything they have, and allowing us to focus on our core business and take advantage of real incentives and rebates that are not easily accessible.

“Rick and his team have always been professional. There won't be two months go by where he won’t reach out and ask how we are doing. We have bought energy saving technology from him for years and lean on him and his company to advise us on how to best save money on utilities.”

We like fast ROI’s — but fast ROI’s that also increase productivity and augment guest experience are no brainers. Ozone Laundry falls into that category

CGS has been a great partner for Westmont Hospitality to help us with our energy management program. We have benefited from significant savings using their various programs, including helping us procure the best electricity rates, multiple rebate programs, and even free LED bulbs and PTACs! And they say that people do business with people they like and that’s truly the case with CGS. We love doing business with CGS. They actually make energy management FUN!

One of the highlights of 2021 was the beginning of our business relationship with CGS. Rick, Ricky, Kate, Kevin, and the entire Team have been a pleasure to work with. CGS has found and implemented cost savings in various asset’s utility bills through audits. They have executed several no-cost to us programs like PTAC cleaning and tune-ups, thermostat and PTAC replacements, and LED light bulbs for both interior and exteriors. Their communication is open, honest, and reliable. We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience with Commercial Green!

I have been working with Kevin, Rick and the Commercial Green Solutions team for the past 4 or 6 years now. They have been an amazing partner for our energy and hvac needs. They are always proactive in notifying me of special programs our properties can benefit from. They get me fair and very competitive pricing on our equipment needs. They always answer immediately when I call or email-even on weekends! They’ve been a pleasure to work with and it is a relationship I see lasting well in to the future.

CGS has been a great strategic partner to Neema Hospitality for many years. When Rick West calls I answer the phone because I know that he has vetted programs by the local utilities and will educate me on many FREE programs that can benefit our hotels and the environment by saving energy. We have done many projects with Rick including LED Lighting, PTAC cleaning and occupancy based thermostats. Whenever another vendor approaches me with similar projects I go to Rick and his team to ask if they can do the projects instead. ON top of that Rick is an outstanding individual! I strongly recommend Rick West and the CGS Team.

Just a quick email to let you know the team you sent was a pleasure to work with. Our hotel guests were not inconvenienced in any way. Hardly even knew work was being done. Your crew chief in particular was fantastic. Not only was she always pleasant but was also flexible. In the hospitality business, you never know what each day will bring. She understood that and adapted when plans had to be changed. My Maintenance Manager had some questions and without hesitation she spent time with him yesterday. Thank you and your team for everything.

New Build Incentive

CGS has been a great value partner for our company over the last year. Rick has been involved in many areas of savings for us and has stayed involved even after the transaction. What started out as a conversation on new build incentives and savings on utilities turned into many opportunities across all platforms and we have taken advantage of many of them. They will be a great partner for us for years to come!

Ozone Laundry

People don’t realize how many utility dollars are spent in the laundry. But we easily save $20,000 a year by using Ozone Laundry. Rick and his team have always been professional, and he still reaches out years after the sale. There is no reason that everyone on the Islands (Hawaiian) should NOT have this technology. Therms, electricity and water/sewer are not cheap here — this technology reduces all three…

I have worked with Rick and his team at Commercial Green Solutions for a few years now and there is no better group that works in concert to find opportunities to improve your building operations AT NO OR LITTLE COST. I was as skeptical as anyone else when approached with this concept, but I was made a believer after we partnered on the first job of cleaning and tuning up PTACs in an entire hotel at no cost to ownership. Since that job, we have partnered on many time and money saving opportunities offered through various utility providers across the country that are difficult to find and pay big dividends. I foresee a long a stable partnership with this group.

Utility Audit

The CGS team has been a great partner for us for many years now. What started as a few utility audits has grown into one of our top vendors who we check with before any big project. They have grown into so many other arenas in the hospitality world that we use them across multiple platforms. Rick, Kevin and the team do a great job at finding us savings in so many areas. We recommend them to all of our partners on future projects and our current hotels. Let the CGS team take a look at your project and I guarantee they will save you some money every time!

CGS Team. I remember reaching out to Terry to make sure CGS was a QV and the rebates were legit😊 Terry confirmed, and then the reach out to Kevin was made. I believe I was the only AD that had reached out to Kevin to learn more about CGS and the services. Fast forward to now: I am so grateful to not only having a professional partnership and playing a very small part in the success of enrolling properties in my portfolio and serving as the liaison with CGS to get my AD colleagues involved, but the friendship that has been built is even more important. Thank you so much for all you do to support our Owner’s profitability (bottom line) and keeping me in the loop of every rebate that exists or coming soon. I hope you, the CGS team, the contractors, your family and loved ones have a blessed Holiday season. I know we are going to do some amazing things with our partnership in 2024.

I began partnering with CGS two years ago and remain impressed with their breadth of offerings and their creativity in finding ways to bring deals together. Kevin and Rick are consummate professionals who bring about new opportunities along with pragmatic solutions…and the tenacity with which they are able to broker deals is remarkable. They leverage their vendor relationships to benefit their customers, and in doing so are able to bring projects to fruition that benefit all parties involved. They are professional, responsive, and persistent without being pushy. I consider them to be strategic partners who play a critical role in my organization’s long-term goals, and highly recommend their services.
