Fairfield Inn & Suites, Baltimore Inner Harbor
Overview
Baltimore's first Green hotel, awaiting LEED Gold certification, also incorporates historic facades from the brewery that originally occupied the site during the early 1800's. The building was designed to be 24% more energy efficient than current code. 2.4 Kilowatt hours of renewable energy certificates offset power consumption. Hotel provides a hypoallergenic environment - fragrance free, all natural, biodegradable cleaning products are used throughout. Among its observable green features:
• Green Roof insulates the building while it reduces the radiant heat that impacts the city and reduces the volume of storm water flowing into drainage channels
• Landscaping is native plants and recycled materials such as the artificial pervious turf made from recycled tires in the interior courtyard
• Entry lobby includes a wall made from recycled brick from late 1700's
• Natural lighting is maximized through solar powered, GPS guided reflectors for skylight in Great Room
• Storm water runoff collected in an enormous rain barrel, made by recycling the Baltimore Brewing Company’s grain storage silo, serves all hotel landscaping irrigation needs
• Alternative transportation available for both guests and associates: bicycles supplied; bike racks provided; convenient to public transportation; Smart Car used for hotel business
