BackgroundLocated in the heart of Buenos Aires, the Sheraton Buenos Aires Hotel & Convention Center is a landmark for international travelers.Its large meeting facilities and services ensure business travelers and convention attendees have a pleasant experience.The 24-story hotel offers 742 tastefully decorated guest rooms and spacious suites, including five executive floors fully equipped for business travelers.

The challengeBuenos Aires Sheraton Hotel & Convention Center works hard on issues related to environmental care, with the conservation of natural resources and ecology being one of its main pillars.Under a social awareness framework, an internal “Green council” was created, whose goal is analyzing potential situations that require the implementation of new technologies that can be measured in terms of quality and consumption. We support sustainable development and share the idea of a world for all focused on future generations.

The solutionIn order to reduce power consumption, different technologies and products were analyzed. Philips MASTER LEDspot MR16 10W lamps enabled us to directly replace 4060 lamps in corridors, rooms and common areas without changing the existing system. This new technology not only allowed us to achieve energy savings of up to 80% at the same light delivery, but also -because of its duration- allowed us to increase 12.5 times the replacement period in comparison to traditional lamps, which automatically translates into a reduction of maintenance costs. The latter was an important point when deciding the change.

BenefitsAlthough installation met the expected technical results, the most surprising thing was the positive comments received. A significant stimulus to pursue new challenges was generated. We seek to optimize the use of this vital resource that provides us general welfare while trying to achieve the greatest possible awareness impact among our associates. This change equates to a saving of more than 948,000 kWh, equivalent to 474 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission reduction. To neutralize this emission, 47 hectares of forest would be needed.
