Looking out for an eco-friendly resort for your holidays this Christmas?
Well then, green geeks, head on to Jamaica’s Eco Village to experience
some green tranquility. Not just for your eyes, but also for your
conscious soul (considering that it is often a sin to harm nature in any
way to environmental thinkers)! Sandals Resort International in partnership with Panasonic has come with what is known as Eco Village, an environmentally friendly accommodation in its resorts.
Equipped with
trendsetting energy generation systems, Eco Village is the perfect
holiday destination for those who want to heal their senses in the
canopy of nature, in the literal sense of the word. The two presidential
suites in cottage 5 of Sandals Montego Bay are laden with 98 units HIT solar panels on their top to generate sufficient energy to power electrical appliances. The efficiency of the solar panels
would cleverly be increased by installing them at an 18 degrees pitch.
Moreover, these panels are conjoined with the electricity grid of the
Resort, so that the extra power generated can be utilized elsewhere. Amazing, isn't it?
The suites have some amazing energy saving appliances including LED lights, flat screen televisions and inverter air conditioners. You can control these electricals via a touch screen panel or smart phones. Panasonic
will be providing these appliances. Talking about their efficiency, the
LED lights would save as much as 90 percent of electricity whereas air
conditioners will save around 65 percent of energy, claim the company
officials. The best part comes now - the Resort has a unique Green Room
Controller System which provides insights into the energy consumption.
Eco Village is one of the few examples which we get to see these days.
And, it’s a part of our efforts to a more sustainable living. A welcome step toward green tourism!
