When a new Marriott Hotel was going to go up in University Circle, we saw a great opportunity to manage stormwater and reduce contributions to the combined sewer system. Here's what it looks like. The hotel is scheduled to open this month.
This document summarizes an early green infrastructure project at the Courtyard by Marriott hotel in University Circle, Ohio. It describes how the parking lot was converted to pervious pavers to allow stormwater to drain into the sandy soil below, eliminating runoff from the site for storms up to 100 years. It also details how stormwater chambers under the hotel roof capture roof runoff and drain it into the soil instead of the sewer system, reducing annual runoff by 1 million gallons.
Our project hotel is located in El Castillo, La Fortuna, Alajuela, Costa Rica, which is just 200 meters south to Lake Arenal. This is a place that enjoys great open views and exciting adventures around. We are marketing at people who want to have a great escape from busy life and to enjoy the breeze from the vast Lake Arenal and the fun of beautiful nature. While making our hotel more comfortable, we are dedicated to conducting green practices to make our facilities sustainable.
INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY FOR GREEN BUILDINGSNischay N Gowda
Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) refers to the quality of a building's indoor environment and its effects on occupant health and well-being. IEQ is determined by factors like lighting, air quality, thermal comfort, acoustics, and visual quality. The goals of good IEQ are to minimize health risks and maintain high quality indoor spaces. Sick building syndrome can occur when occupants experience health issues linked to time spent in a building without an identifiable cause. Common strategies to improve IEQ include controlling pollutants, increasing daylight and views, providing temperature and noise controls, and ensuring good indoor air quality.

Stormwater chambers
This system captures the rooftop stormwater runoff.
It allows the water to drain naturally into the sandy
soils under it, instead of discharging stormwater
runoff to the combined sewer system.
Outlet to combined sewer system
This connection will allow for the stormwater runoff to be
discharged to the sewer system, but only in very heavy storms
when the runoff exceeds the capacity of the system.
Note: No stormwater runoff is expected from this
site through the 100-year storm event. The
system will reduce runoff by 1,000,000 gallons
per year.
