Warwickshire-based Stoneleigh Park Lodge has installed energy saving showerheads in its 58 bedrooms with the aim of being more environmentally-friendly.
The showerheads are being supplied by renewable energy specialist Integr8, also based at Stoneleigh Park, and are designed to reduce water consumption and heating costs, as well as ensuring a constant flow of hot water at peak times at the four-star hotel.
The technology is based on air being injected into the waterflow which results in up to 70 per cent less water being used as each drop is plumped with oxygen.
Stoneleigh Park Lodge is operated by Grandstand – Stoneleigh Events, which manages the event spaces at Stoneleigh Park. It can expect to benefit from significant savings in water and heating, as well as maintenance costs due to the showerheads being coated in a protective resin which combats the build-up of mineral deposits.
“We are pleased we were able to find an energy efficient solution supplied by one of our neighbouring businesses,” MD of Grandstand – Stoneleigh Events, Helena Pettit, said. “We are looking forward to having Integr8’s showerheads installed and are sure our hotel guests will appreciate this environmentally friendly innovation.”
The showerheads are aimed at the commercial market with higher shower usage such as hotels, gyms, health clubs and leisure centres.
Colin Hooper, Estates Director at Stoneleigh Park, said it reflected the ambition of LaSalle Investment Management to introduce environmentally-friendly initiatives as part of its transformation of the site into a centre for rural innovation and science.
