Sustainable Practices Proximity Hotel is one of the first LEED Platinum “green hotels” and the building’s design and construction followed guidelines of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™. A SAMPLING OF THE 70+ SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES: - The building uses 39.2% less energy than a conventional hotel/restaurant by using ultra efficient materials and the latest construction technology. - The sun’s energy heats hot water with 100 solar panels covering the 4,000 square feet of rooftop (enough hot water for a hundred homes). - Newly-engineered variable speed hoods in the restaurant uses a series of sensors to set the power according to the kitchen’s needs and adjusts to a lower level of operation (typically 25% of their full capacity). The sensors also detect heat, smoke or other effluents and increase the fan speed to keep the air fresh. - Geothermal energy is used for the restaurant’s refrigeration equipment, instead of a standard water-cooled system, saving significant amounts of water.
