The sustainable
construction technologies used in the
development include:
1. Natural Energy
from the Earth ground-source
heat pumps will use the earth's natural
energy to cool and heat the bedrooms
and restaurant, and provide hot water
throughout the hotel
2. Inventive
Insulation The hotel and
restaurant will have high-efficiency
thermal insulation, achieved by using
natural and recycled materials that
reduce energy usage by 50%
3. Clever Lighting
Automated light controls
with motion sensors which ensures lights
are only on when needed
4. Energy Efficient
Kitchen Equipment Including
induction hobs, energy efficient fridges
and dish washing machines
5. Re-using water
Rainwater harvesting and
grey water recycling will include providing
100% of the hotel's toilet water use
and saving 20% of the entire water use
6. Low-flow showerheads
Showers will deliver the
feel and effect of a powerful shower
without the water consumption
7. Here comes
the Sun Solar panels will
heat bath water
8. Timber frame
construction Both the Premier
Inn hotel and Beefeater Grill restaurant
will use timber frame construction methods
from sustainably sourced wood
9. Waste management
- The restaurant will use an Anaerobic
digestion waste recycling scheme, where
waste materials are broken down by microorganisms,
which is then transformed into green
electricity and biofertiliser for local
crops.
