Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
The Source Hotel + Market Hall holds a LEED Certification — the most widely used green building rating system in the world. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED promotes sustainable building and development practices and recognizes projects that implement strategies for better environmental and health performance.
Green from the Ground Up
Our contemporary spaces were constructed with low-emitting materials to reduce VOC off-gassing and provide superior indoor air quality throughout the building, including low-or-no-VOC adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings, and flooring. Materials with recycled content were given preference over virgin materials, as were products extracted and manufactured within 500 miles of The Source Hotel. Relying on locally sourced materials helps to support regional economies while reducing transportation-related emissions.
Water Wise
At The Source Hotel, water stewardship is approached with the same intentionality as design and guest experience thoughtfully place-driven and rooted in the realities of the RiNo landscape. High-efficiency flow and flush fixtures are implemented throughout the property to reduce overall water consumption, while outdoor irrigation is carefully calibrated to support native and adaptive plantings, minimizing waste and prioritizing resilience in an urban, high-desert environment.
Exploring Denver, Emission-Free
We all have a part to play in reducing emissions. The Source Hotel offers ample bicycle storage, along with changing rooms for staff and visitors. It’s just one of the many small ways we encourage guests and members of our community to do their part for the environment.
