Sustainability Efforts 

 

Hotel Zephyr realizes that the world is a small place in which we all inhabit.  We strive to help make a difference in our community and to the overall environment.

 

The following sustainability efforts help us reduce our negative impact on our environment.

 

green office

Hotel Zephyr is doing its part in preserving the environment by consuming less resources and avoiding toxic waste, i.e. keeping digital files on computers and mobile devices, not file cabinets and reviewing digital documents on-screen, rather than printing them out. 

 

To date, the hotel help saved 398 trees, 9,648 lbs air pollution, 114,252 gallons of water, 50.25 cubic yards of landfill, 6,246 gallons of gasoline and 66,994 kilowatt hours of energy.

 

Energy Conservation

98% of hotel lighting is provided by LED lights.

Energy saving thermostats are installed in every guestroom.

 

Recycle

Our goal is simple…minimize waste while maximizing diversion/ recycling

We proudly achieve a 75% diversion rate on a regular basis.

 

Composting

We compost our food waste to divert food from landfills.

 

Limit Water Waste

The Hotel installed low flow shower heads and toilets, as well as sink aerators to greatly reduce water waste on a daily basis.

 

Ditch Disposables

We offer natural and organic toiletries in bulk dispensers to cut back on needless waste.

 

Guest Linens

We offer a linen reuse program to reduce water and energy waste.

 

Eco-Friendly Filtered Water Dispensers

Point-of-use filtered water machines are available on every floor to serve water and reduce use of plastic water bottle waste.
