Global hospitality company Hilton has revealed plans to open its first net-zero hotel in New Haven, Connecticut, US under its Tapestry Collection brand.
According to Hilton, the new all-electric property will operate independent of fossil fuels that will result in zero carbon emission on site.
The hotel will use renewable solar powered sources to generate electricity required for daily operation.
The electricity will be used in different areas of the hotel including restaurant, common areas, laundry, meeting rooms, guest rooms and suites.
The green hotel will include triple-glazed windows to provide ultra-efficient insulation, which will stabilise the temperature of guest rooms and reduce noise levels.
The hotel’s restaurant and laundry will run on electricity instead of natural gas.
