We’ve Gone Green!
The Embassy Suites Deerfield Beach Resort & Spa has been
recognized as one of South Florida first “Green”
Hotels
by being certified by the Florida Green Lodging Program.
Why Go Green?
-
Average-sized hotels purchase more products in one week than
100 families do in a year. We want at least 50 percent of
those purchases to be environmentally preferable products.
-
Waste generation can be as high as 30 pounds per room per
day; as much as 80 percent of these materials can be
recycled.
-
Hospitality industry spends $3.7 billion a year on energy.
Electricity use accounts for 60-70 percent of the utility
costs of a typical hotel. We can introduce you to
energy-efficient products and practices that will reduce
energy consumption, therefore lowering energy costs.
-
Typical hotels use 218 gallons of water per day per occupied
room. Water-efficient fixtures can reduce water and sewer
bills by 25-30 percent.
