Hotel Carlton recently became the first hotel in San Francisco to earn gold certification through the LEED-EB O&M (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design - Existing Building Operations & Maintenance) certification system!
The U.S. Green Buildings Council (USGBC) uses the LEED system to award properties who significantly reduce their environmental impact in several categories, including carbon emissions, energy and water conservation, and more. Hotel Carlton took many initiatives to become gold-certified, such as adding solar panels to provide renewable energy, using eco-friendly lightbulbs throughout the property, purchasing green cleaning supplies and products, incorporating employee and guest green education practices, and much more.
We are very excited to be LEED gold-certified!
