The 486-room
Orlando Airport Marriott has just been named a designated property with
Florida’s Green Lodging Program, recognizing it as an environmental leader. The
Florida Green Lodging Program was established in 2004 by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) with the intent of recognizing and rewarding environmentally conscientious lodging facilities in the state. Each hotel is required to meet a minimum set of environmental practices.
The set of practices each facility implements may vary from one hotel to another. In terms of the Orlando Airport Marriott, the hotel has a linen reuse program, low-flow faucets and showerheads and water-efficient laundry equipment. To conserve energy, the hotel has a computerized energy management system with programmable thermostats and sensor lighting. The hotel also has a property-wide recycling program and purchases recycled paper products.
Other states have similar Green Lodging Programs including Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Vermont, California and Virginia.
