"Bayfair’s new sustainability policy is evident in the refurbishment of its public bathrooms. In addition to the pre-plumbing of grey water harvesting tanks, solar panels have been fitted to provide heat to water, and LED lighting which will result in at least a 50 percent energy saving. Other measures include air conditioning systems, water-saving tap sensors, foam soap dispensers, recycling bins, and speedier hand-dryers which reduce energy consumption levels by up to 60%. Display screens showing the water and power savings in real time have been installed to incentivize shoppers to try similar economies at home" Full story: http://www.voxy.co.nz/business/energy-saving-success-bayfair-shopping-centre/5/138622 News service provided by: www.energymonitor.org.nz |
