Environmental Best Practices - Costa Navarino

Reducing Energy Consumption
and GHG Emissions
TEMES plans to invest in the
development of a 22 MW photovoltaic
system, under permit from the Greek
Regulatory Authority for Energy.
The system, which will be connected
to the national grid, will have the
capacity to produce enough renewable
energy to fully cover the electricity
needs of Costa Navarino and feed
back to the grid the surplus energy
produced, contributing to the national
effort for greener energy production.
By installing the biggest geothermal
system of its kind in Europe with
123 km of underground pipes – the
first on such a large scale worldwide
to be placed underneath a golf
course – TEMES will achieve
significant reductions in energy
consumption and CO2 emissions.
Advanced materials and systems
are installed in the buildings of
Costa Navarino to further reduce
energy consumption.
These include:
• energy-efficient window panes
• high-quality, external wall
insulation system that
significantly reduces energy
losses by wrapping the building
in a thermally resistant envelope
• energy-efficient lighting
• electronic lighting ballasts
• central lighting control systems
• central Building Management
System (BMS).
The energy consumption from
the operation of the resort is
monitored and recorded according
to ISO 14064, using advanced
electronic measuring systems.
The comparative analysis of the
results will reveal possibilities for
further reduction of our carbon
footprint, so that we can continuously
improve our performance.
