Bruce Becker's Hotel Marcel in New Haven, transformed from an abandoned tire factory, is a pioneering zero-emission hotel. With the aim to eliminate fossil fuel emissions, it employs local sourcing for its restaurant, uses an advanced microgrid system, and encourages sustainable practices among guests with initiatives like the Climate Wake-Up Call. Meanwhile, Indonesia’s Bawah Reserve exemplifies sustainable construction by avoiding heavy machinery and integrating its design with the natural landscape, powered by renewable energy and supporting local ecosystems.
"We created Hotel Marcel as a blueprint to show other hoteliers and brands how the entire industry can quickly and cost-effectively eliminate 100% of fossil fuel emissions from hotel operations."
"The construction process was designed to work in harmony with the existing landscape, using minimal land and creating structures that seamlessly integrate with the natural topography."
