“According to the U.S. Travel Association, nine out of 10 travelers seek sustainable travel options.” - Lodging Magazine. Sustainability is showing time and time again to be more than worth the investment for any industry, including hospitality! Four Points by Sheraton in Austin Texas has clearly caught on, because they brought the Green Building Center’s sustainable architecture firm Designs for Life on to complete an adaptive reuse, addition, and gut renovation of the hotel to LEED standards. With the help of Designs for Life, Four Points now boasts sustainable features such as efficient HVAC, lighting and building envelope, an Energystar roof, and healthy environmentally friendly materials. These features help Four Points save on their utility and maintenance costs for the building long-term, and the sustainability of the building appeals to the majority of travelers who look for greener options when planning their trips. If you’d like to make these improvements or get your hotel LEED/WELL certified, reach out to us at designs4life.net/con to get started today!
