Boston Doubletree Earns Energy Star from EPA
MARCH 28, 2008. The Doubletree Hotel Boston Downtown celebrates its ENERGY STAR achievement as part of a year-long project undertaken by both the hotel's executive management as well as team members across every discipline of the business.
The Doubletree(R) Hotel Boston-Downtown is proud to announce that they have earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) prestigious ENERGY STAR(R), the national symbol for protecting the environment through superior energy performance. Located in the heart of Boston's Chinatown and downtown Theater District, the 268-room hotel is operated by Corcoran Jennison and managed by Hilton Hotels Corporation.
The Doubletree Hotel Boston Downtown celebrates its ENERGY STAR achievement as part of a year-long project undertaken by both the hotel's executive management as well as team members across every discipline of the business. A continuous improvement plan has been in place for several months to determine opportunities where different parts of the building and/or its everyday operations could be enhanced for energy conservation. A conscious effort was also undertaken by the hotel engineering team to research and install new energy efficient fixtures and appliances, wherever possible.
In the U.S., energy loss from commercial buildings represents almost 18 percent of our greenhouse gas emissions. According to the EPA, Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved $12 billion and prevented greenhouse gas emissions equal to those from 23 million vehicles in 2005 alone. The EPA reports that more than 3,200 buildings have earned the ENERGY STAR since in 1999.
"The Doubletree Hotel Boston-Downtown is proud to accept the EPA's ENERGY STAR in recognition of our energy efficiency efforts,' said Stephen Pole, hotel general manager. 'As a business that firmly believes in caring about our employees, our hotel guests and the community we serve, each of our team members that represent the hotel are making individual and collective commitments towards environmental stewardship as a result of this achievement.'
