15. Master Control Panel Double Glazed Windows
The control panel incorporates a unique feature known as the 'Green button'/ 'Eco button'.
Guests are informed at check-in
On pressing the green button, the temperature rises by 2o C gradually which helps in energy conservation while not affecting comfort.
Double Glazed Windows
The windows comprise of a air tight sealed double glazed unit.
These windows block the heat of the sun from entering the room and help in reducing the load on the air-conditioning units hence saving on energy costs.

16. Energy Management
Rooms are cleaned in natural light whenever possible to reduce energy consumption.
At the buffet counters, Induction plates are used instead of fuel cans.
Having these signage outside the door in turn reduces the waste that would have been otherwise generated by having these signs made from paper.

Water flasks in guestrooms refilled when guest arrives and glasses are kept inverted on coasters.

22. Cloth Mats & Runners Carbon Paper Herbal Pest Control
To reduce the waste generated by our hotels, we use cloth mats instead of paper ones.
This herbal solution contains extracts from herbs and does not contain harmful chemicals, there by there are no health hazards.
No cleaning is required after the treatment is done, hence no wastage of water, detergents, etc.
Chemicals used in carbon paper are toxic which kill the micro organisms that break down solid waste. So we avoid using carbon paper.
