West Sands - A Natural Way Of Life
West Sands is ultimately distinguished by the enormous emphasis it places on protection of the environment. Throughout, the development follows a Green Concept designed to
have a positive impact on personal health and the environment. Not only does this preserve the natural surroundings for the benefit of all, it also provides practical advantages and valuable cost benefits.
Water is one of the major considerations in any residential development, and West Sands uses rain water as its main supply. This means lower costs for the consumer and less impact on natural water resources. A further conservation measure is the recycling of waste water for irrigation purposes. Also environmentally friendly is the use
of solar power for hot water, which allows an estimated 50% saving on operating costs. Further cost saving comes from a water-cooled air-conditioning system that is not only cheaper but also more efficient and quiter than other systems.
A notable feature in the construction of the properties is double glazing and double brick walls with an air gap superior noise and heat insulation. Again, this has a considerable operating cost advantage, while at the same time providing a better indoor living environment.
For garbage disposal, West Sands has a biodegradable refuse plant and a four-bin garbage collection system to promote in-house sorting of solid waste to aid the community's recycling system.
In all, environmentally friendly measures produce an estimated 10%-15% saving on overall utility costs. Equally, they maximize a quality lifestyle.
