Sustainability Every hotel room and apartment has access to natural lighting and ventilation in addition to a fully functional , partitioned HVAC system .
Climate control is via a centralised energy efficient plant that balances the production of cooling medium during low electrical consumption times . These systems are linked to a BMS which controls the optimal functioning of all mechanical and electrical components in the building . A heat transfer system also assists in providing hot water which is stored in tanks . The hot water system is balanced , allowing for a constant circulation of hot water via insulated pipes , thereby reducing hot water lag and consequential wastage of cold water .
All light fittings are high efficiency LED ’ s . Water efficient fittings are used throughout the building , resulting in a calculated saving of 28 %. The building is designed to achieve an energy consumption efficiency of over a 42 % saving when compared to a notational building .
Conclusion Radisson Blu uMhlanga and the subsequent completion of the Oceans uMhlanga complex heralds the beginning a new era for this coastal town .
