High-tech features include three vertical axis wind turbines, photovoltaic panels, a grey water recycling system, an intelligent building management system, regenerative drive elevators and power-generating gym equipment.
Buildings were designed modularly in three tiers. Guest rooms are then strategically filled tier by tier so that unused tiers can be shut down when not in use to save energy.
The hotel offers guests a 100% offset carbon-neutral stay.
