Residence Inn Essen City and Moxy Essen City have been awarded LEED Platinum by the U.S. Green Building Council. A standard of LEED Gold, or higher, is being sought for all further hotel projects.
LEED is the most widely used green building rating system in the world. LEED certification provides independent verification of a building’s green features, allowing for the design, construction, operations and maintenance of resource-efficient, high-performing, healthy, cost-effective buildings. LEED is the triple bottom line in action, benefiting people, planet and profit.
