Ecologically sensitive design and redevelopment

PA was retained by a publicly held Swiss real estate company that plans and builds eco-sensitive and energy-efficient buildings. It requested PA to advise them on the various aspects of the Windermere Island Club Eco Development in the Bahamas.  The work included redeveloping the hotel based on best practices for energy efficiency, solar energy, water conservation, wastewater management, solid waste management, and chemical use.  PA reviewed over 50 different product areas, technologies and supplies, ranging from treated lumber to energy-efficient lighting.  Many of the products and systems employed in the hotel redevelopment will also be incorporated into the design of million-dollar home sites, all part of the Windermere Eco Development project.
