Opened in April 2011 our hotel in Hyderabad is India´s first LEED GOLD certified green hotel. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ is an internationally recognized certification that measures how well a building or community performs across all relevant metrics such as energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emission reduction, improved indoor environmental quality as well as stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impact.

CII – Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre advised our company, Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels on how to maintain low outdoor heat absorption, high accoustic levels, minimal emission levels, energy–efficient lighting, and also, how to utilize natural lighting to maximum potential. Some of the measures adopted to make The Park Hyderabad, our new property, a green hotel include, recycled materials for construction, sewage treatment plants and Rainwater Harvesting. High energy efficiency was achieved through a very special screen that was designed and installed all around the building. The patterned perforations on this screen not only allow filtered light from within the building, but the screen also cleverly houses the façade luminaries without being directly visible. The Park Hyderabad uses high thermal performance masonry blocks, a high performance building envelope, refrigerants and HVAC help that minimize the emission of greenhouse gases. The building is also equipped with solar roofing systems to maximize energy.

The hotel has eliminated the use of potable water or any other natural source of water for landscape irrigation and uses 100% recycled water for the same. To encourage waste separation, the hotel has put in place separate collection bins at all convenient locations and the signage that accompanies these directs people to separate the recyclable waste. To ensure sustainable reduction of ozone depletion and support early compliance with the Montreal Protocol, while minimising direct contributions to global warming, The Park Hyderabad has also ensured that it is a 100% CFC–free zone. The hotel ensures easy access and provides for alternative and public transportation. It is a matter of pride for us that our hotel has won accolades and awards galore. It was rated the greenest building of 2011 by CNN–IBN.

MIPIM Awards that took place at Cannes acknowledged The Park Hyderabad as being the finest structures in the Hotels, Tourism and Resorts category and also applauded it for its excellence in ´Design and Development´.

It also won the Hotel Investment Conference South Asia (HICSA ) award for ´Best Hotel for Overall Design and Development´. In addition to these was the ´Outstanding Concrete Structure Award´ by the Indian Concrete Institute at the Ultra Tech Awards, 2010.
