1. We are meeting with the City of Palo Alto to discuss rebate options for installing photovoltaic panels on roof to generate energy which can be used for electricity

2. 10-15 percent of storm water runoff is permeated in the ground. Additionally we are proposing to renovate the hardscape area of the parking lot to pervious paving allowing almost all storm water runoff to permeate below grade

Lastly I am an Architect working as a Project Manager for Carrasco & Associates in Palo Alto. I am well aware of the USGBC LEED guidelines to get certification, but due to the economic downturn we are unable to afford the commissioning costs and soft costs included in getting certified. My parents and I are the owner and operators. So I know everything that goes on at my hotel.
