Consider the load: climate, massing, and orientation
What’s wrapped up in the envelope?
15-20% of the energy!
Envelope performance
reflects glazing properties
and insulation levels
typically found in buildings
during the 1970s
ENERGY– where does it go?
What’s going down the drain?

Hotel Renovation Projects
• Courtyard by Marriott Tremont
• Lighting upgrades
• Plumbing fixture upgrades
• Hilton Hotel Boston
• Multiple bay suites converted to individual
guestrooms
• Lighting
• Plumbing
• Outdoor air upgrades
Making the Case: Energy + Deferred Issues
• Mold and mildew = Poor Air Quality• Leaking pipes = Excess Water, Excess Energy • Malfunctioning Equipment = Excess Energy
