The Challenge
The Renaissance Suzhou Wujiang Hotel, located at the borders of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, is the only internationally branded hotel in the area. It provides business travelers, families, couples, and discerning locals with modern and stylish accommodations and expansive and sophisticated event spaces for weddings, corporate functions, and other special events. The hotel must consistently exceed their guests’ high expectations for comfort, ambiance, and safety. As a Marriott International property, the hotel must also manage construction and ongoing expenses, and meet annual energy savings goals. The challenge was to maintain an exceptional guest experience while reducing energy costs through improved efficiency.
