Marriott-Whistler Completes Hybrid Heating System

The Residence Inn by Marriott at Whistler in British Columbia (Canada) completed its third and final installment of  Sempa Power’s Hybrid Heating System. The installation will help reduce GHG emissions while cutting energy costs, Marriott said.

“The first two implementations of Sempa’s hybrid heating system have surpassed our expectations by providing GHG emission reductions of over 45 percent while lowering energy costs by over $125,000 each year,” stated Ian Lowe, general manager of The Residence Inn by Marriott-Whistler.

The hotel’s upgrades are part of  Marriott International Inc.’s effort to reduce the chain’s GHG emissions by 6 percent (per room) by 2010.

Last year the company made the switch to green products. Marriott also said it would publish its environmental policies on the web.
