Amsterdam Manor’s eco-friendly efforts include:
- Electricity consumption:
- Heat is captured from ACs and used to heat up the shower water.
- Roofs and windows are insulated to reduce the need for cooling.
- Thermal panels also pre-heat the shower water. The whole solar boiler system has led to a decrease of 40% in electricity consumption.
- 100% of the lights are LEDs.
- Water consumption:
- Low-flow faucets, showerheads, and toilets are in place.
- The wastewater produced by the laundry is reused for irrigation.
- Towel-reuse program where guests can decide if they want to save water by reusing their towels and linens.
- The pool is saltwater, so chlorine free.
- Waste production:

- Food waste is collected and donated to a pig farmer.
- All utensils are made of biodegradable products.
