SaveMoneyCutCarbon announces sustainability partnership with global hospitality brand Carlson Rezidor
Key points:
-
SaveMoneyCutCarbon has been selected as sustainability partner with leading hotel operator Carlson Rezidor.
-
The partnership will aid the company’s ambitious Think Planet global initiative in the UK and Ireland across its Radisson Blu and Park Inn by Radisson brands.
-
The wide-ranging initiative focuses on reducing guest water usage, maximising the efficiency of hotel boilers and supporting roll out of LED lighting.
- The LED roll out alone means the electrical load at 32 UK hotels will be reduced by 3.67m watts, saving more than £250,000, with downlights cut by 85-90 per cent and the tubes by 50 per cent.
More details: LED rollout Radisson
Blu and Park Inn by Radisson hotels in the UK are installing 145,000 LED products, including downlights, GU10 lamps, recessed ceiling panels and tubes in front and back of house at 32 hotels in the UK.
The first phase covers corridors and back of house. Phase 2 will cover ambient lighting in restaurants and function rooms and the final phase will focus on the guest bedrooms.
More details on water saving and boiler management
The water and boiler management projects follow a thorough estate-wide survey and financial modelling by SaveMoneyCutCarbon in 2012.
Survey teams from SaveMoneyCutCarbon used their unique iPad app and financial modelling tools which allows surveyors to photograph and record associated data at each hotel, which was sent back to a central database.
The app automatically looks for savings that can be made in water consumption, energy used to heat water and boiler efficiency which in turn lead to the creation of highly detailed business models for each property.

Peter Gee Carlson Rezidor Area Technical Service Director who initiated the original surveys says:
“Once installation is complete, we will see a significant difference in terms of energy use in all our hotels in the UK and Ireland, and importantly a notable improvement in our energy bills.”
Mark Sait, founder and managing director of SaveMoneyCutCarbon, says:
“Our new partner Carlson Rezidor is one of the most forward-thinking companies in the hospitality sector and we are very pleased to be working with a global brand that is fully committed to sustainability. Meanwhile, SaveMoneyCutCarbon has grown year-on-year, increasing its turnover dramatically in the past 12 months even against a back drop of a cautious economy and has earned its place in the sustainability sector as a partner to clients that really delivers.”
