Hotel’s Turbine Technology - New York

June 23, 2008

Microturbine is the latest energy and emission cutting initiative by Marriot Hotels. Their New York Marriott Downtown is a 500-room property that has recently installed two PureComfort systems creating clean technology to provide electricity, cooling and heating on-site.

Gene Coutu, regional vice president, Market Operations for Marriott’s Eastern Region said: “Our hotel guests are very aware of hotels’ impact on the planet; more and more, they are making hotel choices based upon the company’s commitment to environmental practices. The New York Marriott Downtown’s trigeneration technology is a great example of how committed we are.”

The New York Marriott Downtown is located at 85 West Street in Lower Manhattan. The trigeneration installation comes on the heels of the completion of hotel renovations that include all new guestrooms, brand new meeting space, and a new concierge lounge overlooking New York City Harbor, with additional guest elevator modernization slated for completion by November 2008.
