Greeting Guests With Green Awareness at The Kee Resort & Spa

The Kee Resort & Spa in Patong is one resort in Phuket dedicated to preserving the island's natural beauty by reducing environmental impact with green awareness policies and energy-saving technology.

In the guest rooms, Select TV technology dramatically reduces the need for paper. Guests can get most of the information they need during their stay at the resort via the TV, including the latest promotions, and they can even check their bill in real time, without the hotel having to print a single piece of paper.

Energy-saving technology has been installed throughout the resort. Highly efficient LED lighting, which can be controlled by a switchboard in guest rooms, uses up to 90% less power than conventional lighting and they last longer.

The hotel's kinetic elevators store the energy they produce when going down, then use that stored energy to power the elevator when going back up.

And behind the scenes, batteries and other items are recycled, and heat-exchange technology saves energy by using the heat exhaust from the air conditioning system to heat water.

All these green ingredients are great examples of how green technology can reduce energy use while actually enhancing the guest experience, while also keeping costs low and saving the environment.
