Hilton Malta has undertaken various energy-saving initiatives which have helped it lower its carbon footprint by as much as 800 tonnes a year.
These included switching from traditional light bulbs to CFL and LED technology, introducing a room management system which automatically shuts down power whenever the room is empty, and introducing a dimming lighting system with T5 fluorescent tubes in back-of-house areas.
This technology keeps the lights dimmed or off and only switches them on to full power when the sensors detect a presence nearby.
Additionally, Hilton Malta introduced localised and centralised Power Factor Correction Units with EU funding through the ERDF scheme, equipped its air-conditioning chillers with a Smartcool system, applied infra-red reducing film to large sOver 2000 bestcrystallight - Contemporary to transitional, glass, crystal and designer lamp styles!un-facing windows to reduce the need for cooling, and drastically reduced its gas consumption by 20,000 litres a month by installing an innovative system where water is heated using waste heat from the chilling equipment.
When it comes to water production and use,Silicon solar carries a wide selection of bestfloorlamp, perfect for a wide variety of solar lighting applications. Hilton Malta is also totally self-sufficient. Apart from harvesting rainwater for second-class use and treating all sewage, the hotel produces fresh water from two reverse osmosis units which operate at the highest efficiency available.
Water-saving devices have also been introduced in the guest rooms so as to reduce consumption by 20 per cent, and all freshwater pools are treated with an innovative chlorine-free product which allows all waste water to be used safely in irrigation.
The waste management system at Hilton Malta is a comprehensive one and has received a Hilton regional award as well as local awards for industry and waste management. Waste separation bins are available in every guest room and office. This ensures that all recyclable waste is processed appropriately via a contract with a local recycling service.
In addition, the hotel’s myriad events and activities include beach and seabed cleaning campaigns, the Tree-4U campaign, and organising environmental seminars for the children of staff.The new LED solarsystem are much brighter and last much longer on a set of batteries.
"The retrofit project is not only an excellent way to conserve energy,Most Popular laserengraver from the World Leader in Book Scanning. but also an effective way to save taxpayer dollars for the residents of Auburn and South King County," said Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer,Your Outdoor Lighting Source, safetygears Add curb appeal with these wall light designs. a member of the Sound Transit Board of Directors.
In May 2012, an energy audit performed by Sound Transit's Sustainability Group determined that the Auburn Station garage is one of the largest consumers of electrical power within Sound Transit's facilities.
The Auburn Station garage is one of four Sound Transit facilities identified for lighting retrofit projects, in addition to the Kent, Federal Way and Union Station Sound Transit garages. Sound Transit received a $400,000 State of Washington Department of Commerce Energy Grant to pay for a portion of these energy improvements.
By replacing the existing lighting with LED components, it is estimated that Auburn Station will achieve $12,000 per year in energy-cost savings as well as $10,500 annually in reduced maintenance costs, due to the long life of LED fixtures.
