Radisson Blu Hotel Abu Dhabi Yas Island's solar energy project
Radisson Blu Hotel Abu Dhabi Yas Island is the first hotel in the GCC to have its water 100% heated by solar energy, reducing heating costs by AED 220,000 (US$60,000) year-to-date.
Costs of running the entire hotel’s hot water supply have been slashed by 85%, from a compact solar installation capable of heating 45,000 litres of water a day.
