Sheraton Orlando North Hotel Recognized with Florida Green Lodging Program Designation
The Sheraton Orlando North Hotel announces that it is now a designated member of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) Green Lodging Program. To become a designated member of the Florida Green Lodging Program, hotels must implement a variety of green practices. At the Sheraton Orlando North Hotel, these practices include water conservation, a linen reuse program, energy efficiency achieved with ENERGY STAR appliances, and programmable thermostats. The hotel also reduces waste by providing the opportunity to recycle, purchasing items in bulk, purchasing recycled materials, and by recycling ink and toner cartridges. In addition, the hotel uses green cleaners and high efficiency air filters.
"This designation is the result of an ongoing conservation commitment from all of our associates and the hotel's owners," says Peter Valenzuela, general manager of the Sheraton Orlando North. "It's an honor to receive our One Palm designation and our goal is to carry that commitment to the Three Palm level over the next two years. We're thrilled by this challenge and will work collectively to make it a reality."
Launched in 2004, the Florida Green Lodging Program establishes environmental guidelines for hotels and motels to conserve natural resources and prevent pollution. There are three levels of designation, including One Palm, which designates that a hotel/motel must have completed the core green lodging activities; Two Palm for maintaining One Palm status for at least 12 consecutive months; and Three Palm for maintaining Two Palm designation and demonstrating continual improvement for three consecutive years.
The Sheraton Orlando North, a joint venture of AMC Delancey Group, Inc. and The Paramount Hotel Group, is a 390-room conference hotel located in the heart of the bustling Maitland, Fla., business corridor, just five miles north of downtown Orlando.
