Case Study

HOTEL INDIGO ATHENS

Hotel Indigo Athens is Athens, Georgia’s premiere privately owned LEED certified building. It is located at 500 College Avenue in the heart of downtown. The hotel is a testament to sustainability and Athens’ focus on supporting local businesses.

Hotel Indigo features:

• A high efficiency VRV HVAC system
• Efficient lighting controlled by keycards in guest rooms and
• Two ERVs to pre-condition fresh air.

Water use in the building was reduced by 35% through the use of pressure-assisted toilets, low flow showerheads, and Watersense faucets. A cistern collects HVAC condensate for use in the courtyard.

A strong emphasis was placed on the use of local materials. Granite from the project site used in the design of the courtyard, a tree that was taken down was formed into a bench, and all steel, concrete and drywall were sourced from within 500 miles. Even the coffee is locally roasted just down the road at Jittery Joes.
