As consumers become more conscious about how they spend their dollars, hoteliers have read the writing on the wall. Many independent and nonindendent hotels have opted to retrofit and build green properties using environmentally friendly construction methods, recycled building materials and efficient energy conservation systems. "To achieve true green classification, buildings must adhere to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards set forth by the U.S. Green Building Council. Those standards apply to sustainable site development, water and energy conservation, selection of materials and the quality of the indoor environment." Currently there are LEED standards for construction of schools, homes, neighborhoods and college campuses but no specific standards exist for construction of hotels. Despite the lack of specific standards, The Orchard Garden Hotel in San Francisco, which opened its doors in 2006, was the first hotel built in California in accordance to the green building council's standards earning bragging rights for being certified as truly green. The hotel's 86 eco-friendly guestrooms are cleaned with chemical-free cleaning products and include custom recycling bins, organic bath products, compact flourescent light bulbs and even iPod docking stations.
