Eco-efficient aspects of the Sustainable Resort include;
-Hydroelectric energy powered by a waterfall to generate electricity.
-Reuse of grey water for day to day bathroom utilization.
-Recycling through the filtration of rainwater to supply water for basic kitchen appliances throughout the building.
-Sea water is pumped from near by beaches and reused for the building after it has been filtered, then sterilized and reused for the waterfall feature.
-Over populating trees in the area are converted into biomass energy that the building takes moderate use of.
-Solar panels are used to convert sunlight into general electricity that can be utilized throughout the entire resort.
-The use of skylights is incorporated throughout the building to save electricity during day time and therefore saving on the use of power being used daily.
-High ceilings and spacious areas throughout the structure are used to create a fluidity throughout the resort, but to also provide a natural airflow throughout the building and provide areas with a natural cooling.
-Natural Ventilation will be incorporated in the resort by the use of natural airflow from the exterior atmosphere of the building through open areas of the building such as the front lobby area.
-The building consists of eco-efficient escalators which function through a highly-efficient drive system which achieve new levels in energy-efficiency, space saving, and aesthetics.

Probably the most important part of the building has just been finished. Ive been contemplating for a while now how to make the water fall feature in my resort but i think its finally completed and looks fairly convincing that its a waterfall. The water fall feature surrounding the rear of the building isn't just for general building aesthetics, It's  is a detrimental part to the buildings functionality. This feature is the very thing that powers majority of the buildings electrical, and energy based systems, not to mention adds to the overall buildings conveyed message of the reuse of natural resources. What your seeing when you look at this feature is the production of Hydroelectricity. This form of electricity is made through the use of falling or flowing water. The use of falling or flowing water not only creates energy and is in that way Eco efficient but it is a easy, aesthetically pleasing, and modernized way to show the public the many inventive ways energy can be produced.

My building has come along really well, it's basically complete and is the way I imagined it would be. I feel it has met the requirements of the brief and although it has been difficult acquiring all the different materials from school, craft shops, and home I believe it was all vital to get this final result.
The most difficult part of the resort I think would have to be the painting for everything which was a very messy and long process to get it looking like a resort but I am pleased with the colour of everything and the final painted result. The rocks around the pool area and Under the grass, aswell as the general silver base of the building was probably the most time consuming jobs.
The easiest part I think was probably the water features and roads which where both quick processes that where fairly simple, and we're the least time consuming.
