Green Sustainability
We recycle rain water to feed our plant beds. We have self-timing shut offs for our guestroom lighting in case someone forgets to turn out the lights. Traditional light bulbs have been replaced with energy efficient LED bulbs throughout the facility. Our HVAC systems automatically adjust to moderate temperatures to avoid over-use. Each room and common area has its own HVAC system so that those not in use may be shut off. Water pitchers and reusable dispensers are provided for meetings in place of individual/disposable water bottles.
