Outside air supply to guest rooms is published as a rate. The hotel states over 40 cubic feet per minute continuously; the USGBC project page recorded 60 cubic feet per minute at certification in 2008, tempered by energy recovery against exhaust air. The two are consistent, the lower figure being a floor. The air is described as triple filtered with no grade published.
Air quality is improved by circulating large amounts of outside air into guestrooms (60 cubic feet per minute) by employing "energy recovery" technology where the outside air is tempered by the air being exhausted.

What is not publishedthe gaps we looked for and did not find
The seasonal pool is described as saltwater in a travel piece the hotel republished, but the hotel's own pages name no sanitation method or chemistry, and nothing is published on the drinking water source, treatment or shower filtration, so Water Integrity is empty. No filter grade is published for the triple filtered supply air, and no carbon dioxide, particulate or volatile organic compound readings are published.
Other standards held
Useful context. A held standard does not move a pathway score on its own. It moves a score only through the evidence that standard publishes.

Regional context1 public figure about the area, none of which scores
Public data about the surrounding area. None of it contributes to the score, because a property cannot be marked down for the conditions outside it.
- Safely managed drinking water, USA: The World Health Organization reports 98 per cent of the population nationally, 98 per cent in urban areas using a safely managed drinking water service. This describes the country, not this property, and says nothing about what reaches a guest room here. It is recorded because it is the background against which a property's own treatment is worth publishing. Source
Not published is not unsafehow to read these scores, and what this index does not promise
A low score means a property has not published information. It does not mean the property is unsafe, unhealthy or poorly run.
These scores measure disclosure. These scores describe disclosure, not property quality. This index has no commercial relationship with the properties listed unless a badge on the listing says otherwise.
Conditions change, and we will not always know. Every record is a snapshot of what a property had published when we read it, and that date is on the page. Conditions change: a property can refit, change suppliers or replace a system at any time, and nothing requires it to tell us. We re-read records and ask properties directly for updates, but there will always be a gap between what is true today and what was published when we looked. Use this as a frame of reference for what to ask, not as a substitute for asking. Take your own questions to the property before you book, and tell us if you find something we have wrong.
We report what properties publish. We do not inspect, certify or vouch for any property on this index unless a listing says we assessed it on site, and we accept no responsibility for decisions made or outcomes experienced on the basis of what you read here.
