InterContinental Geneva Pumps the Energy Savings

Energy Management Systems

Since 2015, the hotel has been part of InterContinental Hotel Group’s (IHG) Green Engage Program. This innovative and advanced online system allows individual hotels to measure and track their energy, water and waste and monitor progress and impacts. The hotel is unique in that water from Lake Geneva is used to cool the hotel building. Water is pumped from deep within the lake at temperatures between 5°C and 8°C and carried via large pipes to cool the premises. This method reduces energy consumption and GHG emissions by using local natural resources.
