CLEVELAND, OHIO—Hasek Communications, the Cleveland, Ohio-based publisher of Green Lodging News, has added a new case study to the Vendor Case Studies section of Green Lodging News. The case study focuses on the Tremont Plaza Hotel in downtown Baltimore and its installation of compact fluorescents (CFLs) from Osram Sylvania. The 300-guestroom property replaced 2,200 60- and 100W incandescent lamps with more energy-efficient CFLs. Energy savings was the primary goal of the lighting replacement, but it was equally important to Tremont Plaza Hotel that the suites’ aesthetic appeal and guests’ comfort not be sacrificed. A number of solutions were evaluated, but hotel management ultimately selected the Osram Sylvania 23W Living Spaces CFL.
By replacing more than 2,200 incandescent lamps with energy efficient CFLs, Tremont Plaza Hotel reduced its annual energy consumption by 135,780 kWh, resulting in $17,651 of savings annually. The hotel has also benefited from the lamps’ long life by reduced frequency in lighting maintenance.
