Marriott
Goes LED at International Headquarters
How many of you travel?
Probably a lot. What’s your
favorite hotel (chain or not) to stay in?
Since my family is part of the HiltonHonors program, we try to find a
Hilton-run hotel. If Hilton owned
Marriott or vice versa, today’s story (yes, I traveled out to the Internet
again for today’s entry) would not tear me in two directions the way it does.
GE (a brand we now carry on the website) Lighting LED
solutions were recently installed in several locations throughout Marriott
International’s headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland. Eventually, the company will replace every
light with LEDs. The company estimates
that with the energy savings provided by LEDs, the international headquarters
will use 860,000 kilowatt hours less
in electricity and over $120,000 in combined maintenance and energy costs a
year to light the nearly two-million-square-feet of parking and garage space at
the headquarters.
Over 200 of GE’s Evolve LED Area Lights now shine down on the
outdoor lots, while inside the parking deck there are about 400 Evolve LED
Garage Light fixtures and numerous Evolve LED Tunnel Light installations. Added to that, the new garage lighting can be
dimmed with the help of GE’s ProSys™ Lighting Control system with motion
sensors.
And that’s just outside.
Hopefully what they do inside is just as great.
