As consumers demand more eco-friendly vacation choices, the tourism industry is responding with energy-efficient and carbon friendly resorts and hotels.
In the U.S., as an example, the Hyatt Regency New Brunswick in New Jersey recently installed a SunPower solar power system, marking the hotel’s initial step towards generating clean, renewable solar power. The hotel partnered with SunPower Corp. to design and install the 32,000-square-foot, 421-kilowatt system over the top floor of the hotel’s garage.
Hyatt Regency New Brunswick’s solar power system uses SunPower’s high-efficiency solar panels with its patented PowerGuard roof tile technology. PowerGuard is a non-penetrating, wind-resistant system that lies flat on the roof and provides added thermal insulation for the building and environmental protection to the roof membrane.
