Being ALTernative means caring about the environment
ALT is the first Canadian hotel chain designed to follow the principles of ecological architecture, particularly in its use of geothermal heating and cooling. And that's not all. We believe that our responsible use of resources will help you to appreciate your stay with us. We're proud to list the energy-conservation features of our hotel:

Geothermal heating and cooling in every room
Heat recovery from air exhaust to preheat cold exterior air
Geothermal energy to condition the fresh air intake
Domestic hot water heating from air conditionning heat rejection of the building
Heat recovery from water used in commercial washers.
Direct digital control (DDC) system for ventilation, cooling and heating
Air quality sensors in all meeting room
Energy-efficient lighting
Detection sensors that reduce lighting in unoccupied stairwell areas by 50%

Toilet with dual-flush option (3/6 liters/flush)
Radiant floor heating of lobby and main entrance using geothermal heatpump
Low-E oversized windows providing maximum natural light
Recycling bins in all guestrooms and public areas
The hotel's green heating system will reduce CO2 emissions usually associated with this kind of building by 430 tons/year. This is an average of 2.7 tons/year or 7 kg/day for each room
ALT is a smoke-free environment
 
Being ALTernative means being "eco-proactive"
In the age of global warming, this attention to energy conservation will become the new standard in the hotel industry.
