As a step to reduce its carbon footprints and increase efficiency, the hotel has installed India’s first and only dual solar power and water heater system that heats 4,000 liters of water per day and produces 9 kilowatts of electricity per day significantly reducing electricity consumption.
The dual solar system which produces 136 units of electricity each day or one hundred units, or 48,960 KWh of energy, sufficient to heat 4,000 litres of water. As a result, 34.6 metric tonnes less carbon dioxide (CO2) is emitted at the property.
There will be 1,224,000 KWh of energy produced over the course of a solar power system’s 25-year lifespan. This results in a significant energy reduction.
NHCC, through the innovative technology, will annually offset under a million litres of ground water, by supplying the hotel’s rooms, restaurants, and coffee shops having a significant environmental impact.
With O by Aria LifeWater, Novotel will offset 9 lakh liters (little less than a million liters) of groundwater a year by serving the rooms, restaurants, and coffee shops in the hotel.
Furthermore, the hotel has also entered into strategic a tie-up with Orbisk which helps professional kitchens reduce food wastage and get a grip on their food consumption. Orbisk measures and automatically recognizes what kind of food is getting wasted and provides right guidance to hotel staff to improve consumption.
