Hello there,
We are currently conducting a sustainability study on a hotel development in East Africa. The project is already underway with 2 of the 4 building having half of the floors complete and one third of the brickwork done. The landscaping, hardscapes and remaining work has yet to be commenced. The project includes some land reclamation with fortification and this has commenced also. There is now interest for a sustainable hotel operator to enter the picture, alter the remaining construction and all of the systems, fit-out and equipment to be inline with their holistic approach towards sustainability. A decision will be taken in the next few days and then all requited viable construction alterations, policies and procedures will be implemented. The aim is to pursue a LEED certification but the prerequisite that worries me the most is this one. Can this still be achieved if the ESC plan and best management practices are implemented immediately?
