The St. Regis Resort in Aspen contracted Altech Solar to install its custom solar thermal technology, which has already dramatically decreased the resort's dependence on natural gas; the price of which has skyrocketed in recent years.

The Resort has made major strides in decreasing its carbon footprint, as the system is expected to decrease the hotel's natural gas usage seasonally by as much as fifty percent.  Both Altech Solar and the St. Regis expect a return on the investment of two to four years, including government rebates, tax credits, tax depreciation and current gas prices.
