Radisson Clark Earns DOE Recognition




Park Inn by Radisson Clark, SM Hotels & Conventions Corporation’s (SMHCC) renowned property in Central Luzon, has been conferred a Special Award for Innovative Use of Technology at the 5th Energy Efficiency Excellence Awards organized by the Department of Energy (DOE). This distinction underscores the hotel’s exemplary Energy Efficiency and Conservation (EE&C) initiatives and its successful adoption of advanced systems that deliver measurable energy savings and environmental benefits.

The award recognizes the hotel’s success in reducing energy consumption while maintaining a comfortable and enjoyable experience for guests. Through the use of a smart system design and shared cooling infrastructure, Park Inn by Radisson Clark has demonstrated how innovation can support both environmental goals and operational efficiency.

At the awarding ceremony, from left: SM Offices Vice President and Head Alexis Ortiga, SM Engineering Design and Development (SMEDD) Assistant Vice President for Mall Operations Charles Singson, SM Hotels & Conventions Corporation (SMHCC) Senior Vice President for Project Management and Technical Support Services Eric Uy, DOE Undersecretary Mario C. Marasigan, SM Supermalls Vice President for Corporate Compliance Engr. Liza Silerio,  SM Supermalls Assistant Vice President and Regional Operations Head for Bulacan and CAMANAVA Ana Datu,  SM Engineering Design and Development (SMEDD) Senior Assistant Vice President for Mall Operations Alford Ronduen, Park Inn by Radisson Clark Chief Engineer Cris Pimentel, and Park Inn by Radisson Clark GM Lorenzo Tang.


Particularly, one of the key initiatives behind the recognition is the hotel’s use of an offsite cooling system that supplies chilled water from a nearby central plant. This approach allows the hotel to operate efficiently without its own chiller equipment, resulting in lower energy use, stable indoor temperatures, and reliable operations with minimal maintenance requirements.

Consequently, the hotel has achieved meaningful environmental benefits by integrating energy-efficient cooling components such as constant flow valves into its air-conditioning system. These improvements generate an annual energy savings of over 240,000 kilowatt-hours, helping prevent approximately 174 metric tons of carbon emissions each year.

“This award reflects our commitment to integrating sustainability into the core of our developments,” said SMHCC Senior Vice President for Project Management and Technical Support Services Mr. Eric Uy. “The success of Park Inn by Radisson Clark illustrates that leveraging on shared infrastructure and modern technology can produce tangible energy savings, measurable operational efficiency, and long-term environmental value for the hospitality industry. At the onset, Park Inn by Radisson Clark was built with these in mind. The property was not just retrofitted for the sake of the award,” Mr. Uy added.

These reductions significantly contribute to SMHCC’s Road to Net Zero by 2040, positioning Park Inn by Radisson Clark as a model for energy-efficient hotel operations in the Philippines.
