Radisson Blu, Bengaluru, Outer Ring Road First in India  to be Awarded LEED V 4.1 Platinum Certification (Operations & Maintenance)by US Green Building Council

Radisson Blu, Bengaluru, Outer Ring Road, is the first hotel in India to be awarded the prestigious LEED V 4.1 Platinum Certificate (for Operations & Maintenance of an Existing Building). 

Issued by the US Green Building Council, this top-level certification reflects Radisson Blu, Bengaluru, Outer Ring Road’s outstanding commitment to sustainability. 

The hotel has taken many, impactful steps, including investments in renewable energy and innovation, to consistently reduce its carbon footprint. The hotel building is 100% powered by green energy, which is generated from its own solar plant. This makes it de facto a net zero energy building. Most of the hotel’s cars used for guest commutes are EVs and in addition, these cars charge on-site with electricity that is generated from the hotel’s solar plant 

The hotel has an in-house bio-gas plant, which converts waste into biogas which is sufficient to fully supply the staff canteen for cooking purposes.  The useful by-product of the process is high-quality organic sludge, which is further used to fertilize the gardens. This has allowed the hotel to completely move away from non-organic fertilizers. This system has allowed the hotel to achieve 100% circularity as far as organic waste management is concerned, making it an industry first in the hospitality sector in India.

To avoid using single-use plastic bottled water, the hotel has installed an in-house water bottling plant and refills glass bottles used in all guest rooms, restaurants, and banquet facilities. This system alone has allowed to avoid more than a tonne of plastic waste every year.

The hotel excels in minimizing water use. It has a robust rainwater capture, reuse, and recharge system in place. Over 40% of the roof area is used for storing in the rainwater sump and re-using the captured rainwater for domestic purposes through a filtration plant. The water used for the large on-site laundry is 100% circular. An ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant) of 40 Kilo Litre Per Day has been installed to recycle all of the hotel’s laundry water. The same water goes to an STP (Sewage Treatment Plant) for further processing and to bring it back to the required quality for reuse, the water is then run through UF (Ultra Filtrations) and RO (Reverse Osmosis). 

Mr. Austin Roach (Chairman, Radisson Blu Bengaluru Outer Ring Road – A venture by Roach Lifescapes) says, “At Radisson Blu, Bengaluru, Outer Ring Road, sustainability is not about following a trend, but is a sincere way of life. For over a decade, we are deeply committed to the environment and we are acutely aware of the impact that the hospitality industry alone can have on our planet. We are honoured to have been awarded LEED Platinum certification, which is a recognition of our efforts and impetus for us to do even more, to continue creating a positive environmental impact.”
