Grand Hyatt San Francisco “Going Green”
Grand Hyatt San Francisco “Going Green”
“We are committed to integrating environmentally friendly practices,” says David Nadelman, General Manager.
Grand Hyatt San Francisco is a leader in the community and considers it a high priority to continually strive to improve “green practices and initiatives”. In an ongoing effort to reduce energy usage, Grand Hyatt San Francisco is working toward becoming Energy Star rated. Hotel guests automatically participate in the “guest room Green Program”, which program allows guests to choose to reuse their linens and towels. Additionally, hotel staff is responsible for recycling of everything from paper and plastics to cardboards, cans and bottles.
Other initiatives include, but are not limited to:
- Food composting in Hotel kitchen
- Approximately 95% of all hotel lights are energy efficient, incandescent lights have been replaced with compact fluorescent lights
- Occupancy sensor fixtures have been installed in all hotel back-of-house stairwells
- We are installing occupancy sensors in all meeting and function space
- We will be installing variable frequency drives on high horsepower motors
- Use of e-mail is encouraged where ever possible to limit paper distribution
- Guest room showerheads are 2.5 gallon per minute maximum discharge
- Guest room faucet aerators are 2.0 gallon per minute maximum discharge
- Our building Energy Management System controls our HVAC, exterior lights, and water fountain by automatically turning them off and on
- All paints and solvents are recycled through Safety Clean, and batteries, ballasts, and fluorescent bulbs are recycled through Earth Protection
- E-Components monitors and reports all energy usage to alert us of any inefficiencies
- Recaptured refrigerants are recycled with ARS
- Environmentally safe cleaners are used for all mechanical equipment
- Environmentally safe green cleaning products are used to clean guest rooms
- Our kitchen grease is recycled by Got Grease to make bio-diesel
- New high efficiency walk-in refrigerators have been installed
- Annual infrared scan on electrical infrastructure is performed to measure energy conservation efficiency
Whether its offering food that’s been grown in a manner sensitive to its natural habitat for preserving wildlife and other plants, organically grown and raised, or local and freshly harvested, or purchasing in “bulk” to limit container disposal, Grand Hyatt San Francisco is getting “greener”.
