Intercontinental Hayman Island Resort
This project belongs to: Great Barrier Reef Island Resorts Rejuvenation Program
Project overview
Devastated by a tropical cyclone in 2017, Intercontinental Hayman Island Resort has been rebuilt. With our help, the luxury resort is improving its sustainability and resilience and becoming more energy efficient.
- in-room technology including lights automatically turning off and blinds closing when a guest exists a room to keep the rooms cool and conserve energy
- a unique glass-to-sand crusher to reduce waste transportation to the mainland and maintain the resort pathways with recycled glass bottles
- kitchen waste composters convert organic waste to liquid for maintaining plants and lawns throughout the island
- integrated building management system to identify efficiencies
- sustainable approaches to safeguarding the surrounding environment
- enhanced protection with a reconstructed seawall so the resort can continue to operate even after a natural disaster.
These green technologies will reduce energy consumption, carbon emissions and waste to landfill.
