Author: SSLighting Design News Staff

February 25, 2010... The Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando, Florida recently completed a multi-million dollar renovation that included replacing traditional, antiquated lighting fixtures in its 54 hallways, as well as its freshly refurbished 10,000-square-foot lobby. The Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress began its remodelling to comply with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Green Lodging program, a voluntary initiative for hotels and motels across the state to adopt cost-saving green practices to conserve energy, reduce water consumption, protect air quality and reduce waste. Resort management turned to Regency Lighting to consult on energy conservation measures and to install LED lighting throughout the hotel.

"We are constantly looking for ways to cut down on utility costs, and our lobbies and hallways are lit 24-hours a day, seven days a week," said Rick Jackson, Chief Engineer, Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress. "Working with Regency Lighting, we were able to compare the cost and energy savings of Cree LED products with the traditional lighting we had been using. The LED lighting installations in the hotel hallways and lobby are not only significantly reducing our electric bill and saving on maintenance costs, but are providing better quality lighting for our guests."
