| Partner Profile The InterContinental Miami is a 641-room hotel in Downtown Miami with 101,00 square feet of indoor and outdoor function space, 3 full-service restaurants, and a health & fitness spa. For 2013, the InterContinental Miami is purchasing wind-generated renewable energy certificates (RECs) equal to 100% of its annual electricity consumption. The wind energy purchase supports the creation of green energy and helps to reduce the Hotel’s carbon footprint. Wind Energy is one part of the InterContinental Miami’s efforts to reduce and manage energy consumption, water, and waste under its Responsible Business program, which seeks to have a positive impact in the community and the environment. As a green power purchaser in Florida, the InterContinental Miami is an EPA Green Power Partner. “Our decision to go green was another way to reduce the environmental impacts associated with conventional electricity”, says Robert Hill, InterContinental Miami’s General Manager. “Our Hotel has a reputation as an active member of the community and part of that social responsibility lies in making green and sustainable operating decisions that set an example for others to follow.” | |
