Fairmont Hotels Get Windy at Check-In
The Fairmont
Hotels and Resorts have found a new way to go green. They have announced that the computers at the check-in desk
will now be powered by the wind. The luxury hotel chain has bought Eco-Logo certified wind power for 249 check-in
computers. The new initiative is part of Fairmont's Green Partnership program which is focused on energy issues and
sustainable energy technology. The Fairmont has long been a supporter of green power. Since 1999, The Fairmont Chateau
Lake Louise has been purchasing green power through an agreement with the Canadian Eco-Logo certified Canadian Hydro
Developers. At that hotel 40 percent of the property's electricity needs are met by a blend of wind and run-of-river
electricity generation. The Fairmont has agreed to purchase a total of 116 megawatt hours of wind power through the
Pembina Institute, a non-profit environmental organization. [via Breaking Travel News]
