Client Story: Congress Plaza Hotel
Chicago’s historic Congress Plaza Hotel required new boilers. Another consulting company came in and suggested they remove the existing three large boilers and replace them with nine smaller boilers. This approach was reasonable, but not practical. Then, they invited ACSI to assess their situation. The hotel’s level of hot water needs – especially during the well-known Lollapalooza event – greatly fluctuated and negatively impacted the guest experience. ACSI evaluated the life of the boilers and recommended that they should be rebuilt, including the installation of a brand new energy efficient Weishaupt burners. The work was a success. When the hotel reached its 875-room capacity and nearly 1400 people began to take showers simultaneously, the retrofitted boiler was in high demand and handled the situation “incredibly well” according to the hotel’s chief engineer.
