Wei Ding on 11 Feb 12It is important that hotel company focus on develop green IT which can play a big part in a corporate social responsibility. At the same time, it is an important part of the strategy to ensure the power down by essentially forcing. Hotel should have back up plan for some unexpected thing happen.

Ligia Elizondo on 11 Feb 12That's a good green IT strategy that The Fairmont is applying. I just read an article about the green practices that The Double Tree is applying and although they were very good and interesting the article do not mention anything about a green IT strategy.

Marcia Brown-Kelly on 01 Mar 12It is amazing how even a small initiative of shutting down work stations after an hour inactivity can be this impactful generating such savings. My only question is that the fact that Fairmount is a global company can they really have a centralized center controlling all work stations? In any case this initiative is driven by their corporate leader and is a powerful message in terms of social responsibility.

Yue Li (3011472) on 19 Sep 12Fairmont Hotels & Resorts announced a comprehensive green IT strategy by addressing technology infrastructure and IT operations for all 56 of its hotel properties worldwide. A key part of its green initiatives is a central-managed power-down schedule that all of its internal desktop will be shut down one hour of their activities. One of the spokesmen said that this green IT approach is suitable for hotels that do not traditionally have a data center. He also pointed out that this new green IT approach is easily applied in North America and part of the Europe, whereas a little harder in Asian countries because of the different standard that they use. So what they are working on is to getting everyone to understand its value and set up international standards.
