Boardwalk Residences is the 1st ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY in Mazatlan. It has been designed in a beautiful colonial style, full of Old Mexico charm and with the environment in mind. Some of the key "green" features include:
- Built from insulated concrete block (ICF)- this material greatly reduces the required air conditioning load, requires less maintenance, is long lasting, and produces little waste product that can’t be recycled
- Rain water collection for re-use in gardens, etc.
- Laminated glass for less heat gain/air-conditioning loss
- Smart lighting technologies incl. solar lighting
- High efficiency electric hot water heaters near point of use
- Dual flush toilets to save water
- NO USE of old growth trees in the carpentry
- Our gardens will use indigenous species to ensure their survival and reduce the water use requirement, etc.
- Recycle chute provided on every floor
- We are attempting to source products as close to Mazatlan as possible to reduce transportation requirements and therefore create less carbon pollution
