SUSTAiBALE pRACTiCES
CONSERVING RESOURCES
Replaced incandescent lamps with low wattage
fluorescent lamps in public areas in doing this in guest
rooms as well.
■■ Ultra low-flow shower heads and low-flow fixtures
■■ Completed extensive energy conservation retrofit of
HVAC
■■ New main dishwasher reduced water consumption
by 55%
■■ Paperless check-in process and post consumer
paper products when available
■■ During the fall and winter months, use a free
cooling heat exchanger to cool the entire City
Block.
PREVENTING POLLUTION
Utilize grease waste traps in all food operations to
prevent waste grease from entering sewer system.
■■ Wastewater containment to prevent run-off from
entering drains that flow to S.F. Bay
■■ Toxic waste diversion program with toxic waste
disposal companies to dispose of all known toxic
waste
■■ Utilize hand pump dispensers for cleaning solutions
rather than aerosol containers
MINIMIZING WASTE
Separate newspaper, white paper, cardboard,
plastics, aluminum, grease, light bulbs, and glass for
recycling.
■■ Establishing a solid waste diversion program for
compostable food waste for hotel and neighboring
complex of 8 office buildings and 13 restaurants
■■ Implemented a linen re-use program eliminating
linen washing each day
■■ Employ a “daily newspaper optional” program
■■ Employ a “two-sided” copy program for printing on
the reverse of all documents
THIS DESCRIPTION IS NOT AN EXCLUSIVE
OR EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF ALL THE FUNCTIONS
THAT WE EMPLOY.
GEO-CONGRESS SUSTAINABLE
PRACTICES
■■ Conference registration bags 85% recycled content
■■ Badge holders recyclable and biodegradable
■■ Lanyards made out of eco-friendly Bamboo Fibers
Please help ASCE stay “green” and reduce
extra costs by returning your badge holder at
