A "Green Roof" was installed on the building to decrease heating and cooling costs and to help maximize energy efficiency.
Efficient Purchasing of Natural Resources:
Our Boston Hotel utilizes a Bi-fuel Converter, allowing the most efficient natural resource to be purchased for Hotel energy.

Guest Room and Meeting Room Energy Management System:
The Boston Park Plaza Hotel & Towers employs a state-of-the-art energy management system that detects when a Guest room or public meeting room is vacant and turns off heating and air conditioning. The system also detects when an occupied room is vacant and sets it to room temperature.

The laundry department employs a water reuse system which allows water to be cleaned and used 3 times before being disposed.
