Additional information:
– Hilton, the leading 5 Star Hotel in Bucharest.
What were the needs of Hilton ?
– To test a urinal solution in one restroom of Hilton with the objective to change all pissoirs after a period of 6 – 8 months;
– Clearly to go green and reduce the water and energy consumption at Hilton.
What did we implement with the customer ?
– In a joint initiative between Hilton, the Romanian Green building council and Calidus we agreed to fit the most frequented restroom with our Urimat Ceramic urinal;
– In order to make consumer that visit frequently Hilton aware of the green initiative we decided to develop some advertising material for the restroom.
What are the potential benefits for Hilton with this project ?
– If Hilton decides at some point to fit all restrooms with our Urimat Ceramic urinals it will save about 4’100 Euro per year on our valuable drinking water;
– On consumables each urinal is estimated to change 4 times per year the siphon, uses about 30 MB active cube, about 10 liter of MB Active cleaner and about 2 sieves. The total cost for cleaning and maintenance per urinal therefore is about 284 Euro. The total running cost for all urinals would be about 6’800 Euro. This will result in another saving of 400 Euro per year compared to the old system used.
– However Hiltons objective is not just to save cost, its more a principal to do more for the environment.
What were the issues related to this project implementation ?
– Absolutly no issues occured as the technical team from Hilton and Calidus worked together perfectly.
