The accommodation achieves 100% of irrigation via recycled waste water through waste water treatment plants installed. Endemic plants are privileged to reduce irrigation needs and on Le Morne Peninsula, the hotels/resorts produce their own water from desalination. This allows 800m3 of potable water to be redistributed to the nearby villages on a daily basis.
Advanced pool water quality monitoring and control systems have been installed on all the main pools and help greatly in reducing the number and period of backwash required for these pools. This, in turn, has helped reduce the volume of water lost to drain via backwash. All staff zones are fitted with automatic faucets, toilets and urinals to further reduce wastage.
Aerated taps and water saving shower heads have been installed in all rooms as well as dual flush toilets in all rooms and public areas. Linen Change Cards are in place in all our rooms helping guests to indicate when they would like their linen and towels to be replaced and washed.
Beachcomber works with the Youth Employability Project (PEJ) to promote employability of 300 out of schools youths, from vulnerable backgrounds every year.
The roofs of the hotel are gradually being waterproofed with white liquid polyurethane membrane or white solid membranes. The effect is to reduce the irradiation effect on the roof and achieve a 5°C cooling effect on the inside of the buildings. Variable speed drives have been installed wherever possible but mainly on the pumps, industrial fans, water chillers and compressors. These devices have allowed them to save up to 40% on the energy usage of the aforesaid equipment.
Centralised cold room systems, similar to those systems used in supermarkets, installed in all the kitchens with electronic controllers generating energy savings of above 30% as compared to standard unitary systems. The kitchens are fitted with micro load shedding control systems with thresholds that are assigned for maximum energy consumed by each kitchen. Once these thresholds are reached, the load shedding system kicks in to reduce the consumption without affecting any cooking process.
All refrigeration equipment converted to zero ODP refrigerants. Usage of fossil fuels for the production of domestic hot water is gradually being eliminated and is being replaced by a combination of solar generated hot water and utilisation of high temperature heat recovery on air conditioning chillers. Great care is given to design of hot water and chilled water distribution networks, with special emphasis placed on proper insulation. This not only provides a high level of comfort to their guests but allows very interesting energetic savings.
Room energy management systems are gradually being deployed in the hotel rooms. These systems combine motion detection, door switches and electronics to ensure that lighting and air conditioning are not left in operating mode when a room is unoccupied or when doors are opened. These systems have been proven to save 11% of their overall energy bill wherever they have been deployed. The outdoor lighting is controlled by timers with the majority of light bulbs within our premises being replaced with energy saving Light Emitting Diodes (LED).
36% of all the waste generated under the brand name of Beachcomber is recycled. They have a collaboration in place with a waste management company called “Don’t Waste”. This organisations handles the relationship with all the waste recyclers and handlers while keeping precise records of what is done and where it is done.
Elimination of single use plastic straws and stirrers since august 2018 in all the properties. This represents a saving of 350,000 single use plastic straws and 525,500 stirrers over the last year.
