Environment
The Group’s keen interest in the sustainability of the environment means that the Resort holds a strong environmentally-friendly approach, in line with the National Green Technology Policy, the aim being sustainable development and conservation of the environment for future generations.
The Group’s environmental management systems are constantly reviewed and adapted in relation to four core areas of interests, namely the conservation of natural resources (energy, fuel and water), waste management, prevention of pollution to water, land and air, as well as the use of renewable energy.
The Group employs various schemes to conserve natural resources and reduce the consumption of energy, fuel and water. A professional consultant is engaged to conduct an energy audit to identify costeffective energy-saving opportunities in line with the building energy efficiency index. Measures include installation of energy-saving lights and reduce heat loads from air-conditioning systems. Escalators are switched off during off-peak times and sensors are installed to control operations. Employees are also briefed on Energy Conservation Awareness by the Group’s Engineering Department.
For fuel conservation, the Group employed a heat recovery system by installing air pre-heaters at steam plants. Mechanical steam traps were replaced with fixed orifice steam traps to limit steam loss. Steam plant operations were also optimised to reduce steam losses and leakages and to prevent short cycling on boiler operations. To conserve water, flow restrictors were installed and effective water volume reduction programmes were implemented at water cisterns at selected areas. Monthly maintenance and daily checking of toilets are carried out to ensure immediate repair of water leakages.
Waste management efforts follow the 3R (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) programme and scheduled waste management in accordance with the Environmental Quality Act 1974. ‘Reduce’ is achieved by using
