Energy Efficiency Upgrades For Hotels and Multifamily Buildings

Energy Efficiency Upgrades For Hotels and Multifamily Buildings isn’t just a catchy idea…it’s a real opportunity. Let’s talk about a challenge every California property owner is feeling right now.

Utility costs are climbing fast. If you own or manage a multifamily building or hotel, you’re probably feeling that pinch even more. Higher water and energy bills don’t just eat into your profits, they can quietly drain your NOI month after month. 

Here’s the good news: There’s a simple, proven way to take control of those costs and put money back in your pocket. It’s called the AutoHot Demand Recirculation Controller, a compact, powerful device that reduces water and energy waste, lowers your utility bills, and improves your property’s efficiency.

And the best part? We’ll provide and install it at no cost to you in California, if you should qualify. Unlock long-term savings without touching your capital budget. For multifamily and hotel owners, this is one of those rare win-wins: lower expenses, happier residents or guests, and a greener property all without an upfront investment.

The Device That Pays You Back

The AutoHot Demand Controller isn’t your average add-on, it’s a California Title 24 compliant, sensor-driven Energy Management System (EMS) that’s custom-built for multifamily domestic hot water systems. It’s designed to make your system smarter, cleaner, and cheaper to run.

Think of it as Precision Engineered for Performance and Results.  

We install the controller in Timer Mode by default, which limits pump run times to optimal windows during the day. That means maximum control, less wasted heat, and a measurable drop in your utility bills.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Up to 90% reduction in pump runtime
• Up to 30% reduction in total DHW energy use
• Lower water and gas bills  
• Fewer pinhole leaks from your pump running constant 
• Remote Monitoring, fault alerts, and data logging
• Boiler modulation and demand-based controls that adjust with real usage

And yes, this device is certified compliant with California Title 24 energy efficiency standards, meaning it’s not just effective, it’s also legally aligned with current and future code requirements.

Want to Know How Much You’ll Save?

We make this easy and transparent. Here’s how:

• We start by assessing your existing pump schedules, runtime, and boiler loads.
• The AutoHot system logs and stores performance data in real time, so you can track your savings live on our Remote Monitoring Platform.
• We also rely on verified metrics, like our GTI (Gas Technology Institute) White Paper and ECRM Work Paper, both of which prove significant utility savings.

Why This Matters More Than Ever in California

If you’ve checked your utility bill lately, you know things are getting worse… not better.

• California utility rates have increased by over 40% in the past decade, according to data from PG&E and SDG&E rate filings and reports from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).
• Many multifamily buildings pay commercial gas and water rates, with little insulation from market hikes. So, you either distribute the costs by raising rents, but it’s harder on your tenants and also, DACA areas are more vulnerable. 
• New construction and retrofits now demand Title 24 Compliant, efficient DHW systems.

The AutoHot EMS controller hits all these pain points, and then some.

You get verified energy and water savings, compliance with California code, and most importantly, peace of mind that you’re not overpaying for basic hot water.

No Costs are Involved Thanks to State Programs

We’ve partnered with leading California programs that pay 100% of the cost for qualifying multifamily buildings. The reason why we are able to do this is because we have the white papers and work papers that prove it works.

No hidden fees. No subscription. No monthly maintenance. Just real upgrades, installed by SoCalGas Trade Pros, backed by data, and funded by California Utility programs because the savings are validated.

Built for Builders, Engineers, and Property Managers

Whether you’re a:

• Developer breaking ground on your next project
• Engineer retrofitting aging systems
• Property manager trying to tame monthly operating costs

…this is for you. The controller works with all major DHW configurations, supports dual pumps, and scales across buildings of all sizes.

Let’s not wait until another rate hike hits. Start saving now.

We’ve already installed thousands of the AutoHot Demand Recirculation Controllers across California. Now it’s your turn.
