I-MONTEREY, CA - Isiqinisekiso Sikazwelonke Sezokuphepha (i-SNG) simemezele namuhla izinhlelo zokuthuthukisa i-ecoresort eluhlaza kakhulu emhlabeni eNhlonhlweni yaseMonterey. Ukuze ibekwe endaweni eyonakele yangaphambili yezimayini zesihlabathi, iMonterey Bay Shores Ecoresort izoba intuthuko evumelana nemvelo ezonikeza izivakashi, izivakashi, nezakhamuzi indawo ekahle yokuhlala ehlaza, kanye nezindawo zemfundo zokufundisa ngokusimama kanye nemvelo. izimiso. I-ecoresort izohlose ukuzuza isitifiketi se-LEED Platinum lapho isiqediwe futhi izoveza imisebenzi engaphezu kuka-500 yokwakha neyokuhlaza unomphela emnothweni wasendaweni waseMonterey.
Ekuthuthukisweni kwayo kokuqala, yonke imininingwane yeMonterey Bay Shores Ecoresort ihlanganisa izimiso zokusimama nokongiwa ngenkathi kugcinwa izinsiza ezisogwini nokuvuselela ugu kanye nezitshalo nezilwane zendawo. Idizayini yokungcebeleka inalezi zici ezilandelayo kanye nezinzuzo ezizonciphisa ngokuhlanganyela ngamaphesenti angama-50 i-carbon footprint yayo uma iqhathaniswa nesakhiwo sendabuko:
– Idizayini: Idizayinwe ngokuhambisana nesiza, izinhlelo zicubungula i-topography, umumo, kanye nesilinganiso sokwakheka kwezindunduma ezikhona nezibuyiselwe.
- Indawo: Indawo ihlehliswe emuva kakhulu ukusuka ogwini kunalokho okudingwa ukuklanywa kwendawo ukuze kuhlinzekwe isivikelo sendawo yokuhlala kanye nezinqubo zemvelo zasogwini.
- Izinto Ezisetshenziswayo Nokwakha: Ukusetshenziswa okuphezulu kwezinto zokwakha ezigaywe kabusha, ukwakhiwa kwe-prefab endaweni, kanye nemisebenzi yokwakha ehlakaniphile.
- I-Living Architecture: Amahektare amahlanu ophahla oluphilayo, oludambisa amanzi eziphepho futhi lunikeze insimu nokupholisa, lushiya kuphela amahektha angu-1.5 wekhava yezitshalo okungezona ezomdabu endaweni ezungezile.
– Amandla Avuselelekayo: Amaphesenti angamashumi amathathu ezidingo zamandla ahlinzekwa yimithombo evuselelekayo ekhona ukuze kunikwe amandla imisebenzi yesakhiwo – i-geothermal, umoya, namasistimu elanga azosetshenziswa.
- Ukongiwa kwamanzi: Izinyathelo ezingenakuqhathaniswa zokongiwa kwamanzi - ukugaywa kabusha kwamanzi ampunga, ukulawula okuphelele kwamanzi emvula, kanye nokubanjwa kwamanzi emvula ukuze asetshenziswe okungaphuzwayo (ilondolo nokunisela).
- Ukuthuthukisa Izinsiza Zemvelo: Umoya, ukukhanya, namathunzi anyakazayo avumela i-ecoresort ukuthi isebenzise izinzuzo zemvelo zesayithi.

Indawo yokuqala, indunduma yesihlabathi, yacekelwa phansi phakathi neminyaka engama-60 yokumbiwa kwesihlabathi okwagcina kuphelile ngo-1986. Manje izobuyiselwa ukuze kwakhiwe amahektha angama-29 ngendawo yokuhlala yezindunduma, okuhlanganisa namahektha ayi-6.5 azonikezelwa ekuhlinzekeni indawo yokuhlala ephephile yezilwane ezisengozini. kanye nokwandisa izinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo.
"Siqhubekisela phambili uhwebo olusafufusa lwentuthuko eluhlaza nethimba lochwepheshe bokusimama abakhethwe ngesandla abahlanganisa ulwazi lwabo ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi zonke izici zale phrojekthi zinenzuzo engokwemvelo," kusho u-Ed Ghandour, umongameli nomsunguli we-SNG. “Iminyaka eyishumi nesithupha sizibophezele ekwenzeni iMonterey Bay Shores Ecoresort ibe ngokoqobo; umbono wethu omkhulu uwukwenza imodeli ekhuthaza abanye ukuthi bakhe izakhiwo ezisimeme ezivikela futhi zibuyisele imvelo yendawo.”
Ngokuthobelana ne-California's Coastal Act, izinhlelo zamanje zidlula izindinganiso Zohlelo Lwendawo Logwini njengoba kugunyazwe Ikhomishini Yogu lwase-California. Le phrojekthi izohlinzeka ngokufinyelela ogwini kanye nokupaka kumalungu omphakathi, okokuqala ngqa, ngasogwini olungamakhilomitha ayisishiyagalombili ukusuka eMonterey kuya eDolobheni laseMarina ukuya enyakatho. Ezinye izinsiza ezifakwe ezinhlelweni zihlanganisa isikhungo sokufunda ngokusimama, isikhungo sokuphulukisa ngokuphelele, ukufinyelela ogwini nemizila yendunduma, izingadi zezitshalo nezitshalo, ukudla okuluhlaza, kanye nezinto zokuhamba zikagesi/ze-biofuel zezivakashi nezivakashi. Ingxenye yenzuzo evela ku-ecoresort izoxhasa amaphrojekthi wendawo wendawo.
