Kevin Anderson

Kevin Anderson has worked for Hyatt Hotels and Resorts since 1977, taking on his first Director of Engineering position in 1980 at Hyatt on Hilton Head Island, in South Carolina. Anderson came to Hyatt Regency Washington as Director of Engineering in 1989. His responsibilities include overseeing the maintenance and equipment operations throughout the entire hotel and taking charge of the conservation and recycling efforts for Hyatt Regency Washington.

In 1990, Anderson began a large-scale water conservation program for the hotel. This program included modifying the guestrooms with new low-consumption toilets and low flow showerheads, which reduced water consumption by 57%. He then directed his attention to major energy conservation efforts in 1994, updating the hotel with energy efficient lighting, chillers, variable frequency drives, and motion detectors, saving 2.5 million kilowatt-hours on an annual basis. A major effort toward recycling and waste reduction began in 1995 reducing waste trash sent to landfills by 900 tons per year.

Kevin Anderson was awarded with the Pepco "Encomp" (Energy Competition) Honorable Mention Award in 1995 for these efforts. In addition, Hyatt Regency Washington became certified as a Green Seal hotel as part of the D.C. Green Hotels Program in August 2002.
