Plaza Alice Springs - your green accommodation
option |
Crowne
Plaza Alice Springs is the only green accommodation
option for the Global Eco Conference and combines
luxury, elegance and resort style facilities.
The hotel offers a wide range of services for
corporate travellers in a relaxed and stylish
environment and is situated only 200
metres from the Conference venue (5
minute walk). |
The
Crowne Plaza Hotel has today set the benchmark
for Australia's business sector and hotel industry
with the largest building mounted solar photovoltaic
(PV) system in the Southern Hemisphere and it's
$50,000 in-house energy efficiency program.
The
ground-breaking $3.3 million PV installation
will reduce the hotel's energy consumption by
40-80 per cent dependant on the time of year,
with the energy program further reducing consumption
by 18 per cent. |

The rooftop
solar PV installation will provide the greatest
overall energy saving and reduce the hotel's
annual carbon footprint by 420 tonnes of CO2.
The system will generate over 530,000 kWh
per year, which is enough to power a further
60 family homes.
Further
changes include the replacement of more than
3110 light bulbs with energy efficient options,
saving enough power for 30 family homes each
year and an 'energy eye' that manages heating
and cooling in guests' rooms, detecting whether
or not the room is occupied.
