Lighting is a major energy consumer in any hotel and, as part of ongoing efforts to implement sustainable conservation measures, top leaders at the hotel hired PCG to upgrade their outdated, energy inefficient light fixtures. At the same time, it was important that they maintain the historic and world renowned aesthetic of the hotel.
