Project Overview:
Daiwa assists in the construction of Songtsam's first zero-carbon hotel. Songtsam has been praised by domestic and foreign media as "the best chain boutique resort hotel in China." As a platform for spreading Tibetan culture, it is committed to protecting and developing the essence of local culture and the ecological environment of the area, promoting low-carbon rural architectural design and construction to minimize environmental impact. The hotel utilizes solar photovoltaic tiles and a series of supporting measures for photovoltaic thermal storage, ultimately achieving the goal of a zero-carbon hotel.
The Basongcuo Nature Reserve's installation of 831 kW of photovoltaic tiles marks a significant step towards sustainable energy utilization in the pristine landscape of Nyingchi. These tiles, crafted using a high-temperature compression molding process and featuring a fully encapsulated embedded design, not only blend seamlessly with the natural
surroundings but also ensure durability and reliability in the face of harsh weather conditions.
With an integrated drainage system and exceptional water discharge performance, these photovoltaic tiles mitigate the risk of hidden leakage hazards, guaranteeing long-term functionality. Their ability to withstand snow loads of up to 5400 Pa and resist ice impact speaks volumes about their resilience, making them an ideal choice for the challenging alpine environment of Basongcuo.
Moreover, the ease of installation and the integrated system's multifunctionality, encompassing power generation, waterproofing, wind resistance, noise reduction, and heat insulation, underscore the comprehensive approach towards sustainable building practices.
In the broader context of Daiwa's collaboration in constructing Songtsam's inaugural zero-carbon hotel, these photovoltaic tiles play a pivotal role. By harnessing solar energy and incorporating measures for photovoltaic thermal storage, the hotel epitomizes eco-friendly hospitality while championing the preservation of Tibetan culture and the local ecosystem.
Songtsam's reputation as China's premier chain boutique resort hotel underscores its commitment to excellence, sustainability, and cultural preservation. Through initiatives like the integration of photovoltaic tiles, Songtsam sets a precedent for responsible tourism and showcases the potential for harmonious coexistence between luxury hospitality and environmental conservation.
Ultimately, the Basongcuo Nature Reserve's embrace of renewable energy and Daiwa's support in realizing Songtsam's zero-carbon vision exemplify the power of collaboration in driving towards a more sustainable future. By leveraging innovative technologies and adopting environmentally conscious practices, these initiatives pave the way for a greener, more resilient world.
