Reflection 11

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.
