Recreation Center Kumush Bulak: increasing comfort of mountain holidays through energy-efficient measures and saving resources through solar energy
Kumush Bulak Recreation Center is situated near Ala-Archa National Park. It remains cool even in summer, offering mountain air, water, and delicious food. Visitors enjoy spending cozy time with their families here.
Duishonbu Sooronbaev, the owner of the Kumush Bulak Mountain Recreation Center, implemented energy efficiency measures following an energy audit. These measures included installing new doors and windows, insulating the floor which has an integrated floor heating system, and utilizing solar energy in addition to standard heating methods. These efforts have resulted in significant savings of resources and finances.
Benefits of using insulation in combination with solar panels
One of the key aspects of improving energy efficiency at Kumush Bulak involved introducing building insulation measures along with installing solar panels. Good insulation reduces heat loss, significantly decreasing the need for additional heating in winter and air conditioning in summer. This not only creates more comfortable conditions for vacationers but also contributes to significant savings in energy resources.
The solar panels, in turn, generate clean and renewable energy, covering part of the center's electricity needs. This combination of measures not only reduces energy costs, but also lowers the complex’s carbon footprint. This is particularly important in the context of the environmental crisis and the public’s critical view of the companies’ environmental friendliness.
Benefits
The use of insulation measures in combination with solar panels has resulted in the following benefits:
- Energy savings: 384.0 MWh /year.
- CO2 emissions reduction: 41.26 t/year.
- Reduced operating costs: reduced energy and heating bills.
- Improved living comfort: stable temperature and indoor air quality.
- Increased property values: energy-efficient buildings have a higher market value.
Such measures make Kumush Bulak not only a more environmentally conscious place, but also an attractive holiday destination where guests can enjoy the comfort and beauty of mountain nature, knowing that their stay has minimal impact on the environment.
