A Sustainable Accommodation Experience: Our Steps Respecting Nature and Society

The Sun, which is the Earth’s largest energy source and stands out as an environmentally friendly, sustainable and unlimited resource, is indispensable for living things with its powerful energy.

With a diameter of approximately 1.39 million kilometres, the Sun is 109 times larger than the diameter of the Earth and its mass is approximately 330,000 times that of the Earth. This giant star provides the energy necessary for the existence of life.

Its core, with a temperature of about 15 million °C, is located at the centre of the Sun and is the region with the highest density and temperature. The Sun, which is an indispensable source of energy for life on Earth, provides a suitable temperature for life by heating the Earth’s surface.

Solar energy; It is a renewable type of energy obtained by converting the radiation emitted from the Sun into electricity or heat energy. Solar energy is considered one of the most important elements among sustainable energy sources in terms of sustainability, which is the understanding of balancing the environment, economy and society by using natural resources in a way that can meet the needs of future generations.

Importance of the Sun on Earth

Source of Life

The sun is an indispensable source of energy for life on Earth. It provides the light necessary for the photosynthesis process and regulates the climate.

Light and Heat

• The Sun heats the Earth’s surface, providing a favourable temperature for life.
• In addition, the growth of plants, the movement of oceans and weather phenomena are shaped by the energy coming from the Sun.

Solar Winds

• High-energy particles emitted from the Sun interact with the Earth’s magnetic field, causing natural phenomena such as auroras.

Importance of the Sun for Humanity

Energy Source

• The sun is a renewable source of energy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
• Photovoltaic panels and solar thermal systems allow the conversion of solar energy into electricity and heat energy.

Agricultural Production

• Sunlight is a basic requirement for plants to grow by photosynthesis.

Time Measurement and Calendars

• Many cultures throughout human history have used the movements of the Sun to measure time. Seasons and calendars are organised according to the position of the Sun.

Space Studies

• The Sun allows scientists to learn about the formation, life cycle and energy production processes of stars.

Kilikya Palace Göynük Protects the Environment and the Future with Solar Energy!

Solar energy, an inexhaustible resource like fossil fuels, offers an inexhaustible and reliable solution in the sustainable energy transition. Solar energy, which does not emit carbon dioxide and other harmful gases during electricity generation, significantly reduces the carbon footprint compared to fossil fuels and plays a critical role in combating climate change.

As Kilikya Palace Göynük, we significantly reduce the carbon footprint compared to fossil fuels and follow nature-friendly steps by using solar energy, which plays a critical role in combating climate change. At the same time, we support the sustainability of water resources by minimising the use of water in energy production with our use of solar energy, which prevents soil and water pollution.

We Save Water Consumption with Our Sustainable Steps

For modern hotels that adopt sustainability as a mission and take environmentally sensitive steps, water saving is not only a necessity but also an important step towards leaving a livable world to future generations. The conscious use of water, one of the most valuable resources offered by nature, is of great importance in terms of both protecting the ecological balance and ensuring that businesses achieve their long-term sustainability goals. At this point, automatic sensor faucets stand out as one of the innovative solutions that optimise water consumption.

Smart Water Management with Sensor Taps

Automatic sensor taps are innovative systems that provide water flow only when needed and prevent unnecessary waste. These systems, which prevent problems such as traditional taps being left open or consuming more water than necessary, automatically determine the duration of water use and provide significant savings in hotels. The sensors, which are activated by the user’s hands under the tap, automatically switch off after the water flows for the specified time. In this way, wasting water is prevented and unnecessary consumption is minimised.

As Kilikya Palace, we consider daily water consumption in every area and organise the water management of points such as bathroom sinks, kitchens, cleaning areas and general use taps. Thanks to the sensor faucets, the total water consumption of the hotel is greatly reduced by ensuring the controlled use of every drop of water. In addition, these systems not only save water, but also clearly demonstrate the hotel’s commitment to sustainability to its guests.

Economic and Environmental Contributions of Water Saving

As Kilikya Palace, we ensure the conscious use of water resources and take the right steps to protect nature. With the use of our sensor faucets, we can reduce water consumption by up to 50%, which ensures proper consumption in the long term. Kilikya Palace is expanding the use of sensor systems in bathrooms and washbasin areas and providing the best service to our guests.

However, water conservation is also directly related to energy consumption. Since water treatment, heating and pumping processes require energy, saving water also means saving energy. This reduces the carbon footprint and makes a strong contribution to our hotel’s environmentally friendly policies. When we look at today’s travel trends, it is seen that our environmentally friendly hotels are more preferred by guests and the brand value of businesses that adhere to sustainability principles increases.

The Perfect Balance of Hygiene and Comfort

One of the biggest advantages of sensor faucets is the superiority they offer in terms of hygiene. With traditional taps, each user has to touch the tap handle to turn the water on and off. This can increase hygiene risks, especially in public areas. In sensor systems, you can provide water flow without touching any surface with your hands, which greatly prevents the spread of germs and bacteria.

Offering a comfortable experience for hotel guests, these systems also increase the prestige of the hotel by creating a contemporary and modern atmosphere. Sensor faucets, which offer an aesthetic and functional structure compatible with technology, both increase the satisfaction of our guests and emphasise the importance the hotel attaches to innovation.

Shaping the Future with Automatic Sensor Faucets

Every little detail makes a big difference for our hotel, which embraces sustainability. Automatic sensor faucets may seem like a simple change, but they play a big role in reducing the hotel’s overall environmental impact. By integrating technology and environmentally friendly solutions instead of traditional methods, our hotel both strengthens their mission to protect the environment and invests in the future.

Acting with this awareness, our hotel demonstrates a sensitive approach to the ecosystem by protecting water resources, shows its guests the importance of a sustainable lifestyle and supports the vision of leaving a more livable world to future generations. Every step we take with a conscious and responsible business approach in harmony with nature contributes to the development of the sustainable tourism sector and is one of the most effective ways to protect both the environment and people.
