Caravelle Hotel Undergoes Greet Retrofit

One of Ho Chi Minh City's most well known hotels the Caravelle is undergoing an extensive 'green' retrofit in a bid to becoming a leading proponent in sustainability.
Initiatives include:
Installation of wastewater plant for recycling from air-con cooling towers and sanitary units
Changing over to a hybrid heat pump/solar panel system from its diesel fired hot water boiler
Replacement of air cons and controllers in all guest room to more modern efficient technology
Hiring a dedicated environmental management team member to oversee long term green initiatives
All in all the hotel is proving that age does not matter then looking at sustainable environmental programs.
