YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Brando luxury resort in French Polynesia takes environmental stewardship seriously. Hotels in the region spend 60% of their energy consumption on air conditioning, but with The Brando’s SWAC system, energy demands are reduced by 90%. SWAC stands for Sea Water Air Conditioning. This technology uses cold seawater for low-energy, highly efficient cooling. The Brando is one of only two hotels in the world using SWAC. Now that’s one cool beach vacation!
