Solar energy is a truly renewable energy source which is available every day. Greece, being blessed with high sunshine, is a pioneer in solar water heaters since the 1970’s.
The solar water heater is the simplest and best-known solar appliance. They use the power of sunlight to create heat while cutting down on electricity costs. They reach high temperatures very quickly, saving money and energy.
They are made of high quality, recyclable materials that are durable and environment friendly. Their maintenance cost is very low. Solar heaters are for us another way to show we care about sustainability.
We use a Compact System of Biological Wastewater treatment according to the latest legislation on wastewater management. Sewage Water is recycled.
We collect the water in underground tanks and filter it in three stages:
The water comes out pure and clean and returns back to nature since it is used to water the garden.
The process of composting is hugely beneficial to the environment, not only because it reduces the amount of food and garden waste thrown away, but also because it reduces the need for artificial fertilizers.
At Koukoumi, we embrace this sustainable practice by creating our own compost heap. In this way, kitchen leftovers but also leaves and grass can be recycled. We collect them in a compost bin designed to hasten decomposition with the help of beneficial microorganisms without releasing methane -a potent greenhouse gas.
Compost becomes a mild natural fertilizer, that won’t burn plants like chemical fertilizers. The soil returning to the ground is enriched with organic matter and valuable nutrients which will improve plant growth supporting their health and fertility.
Green Roofs are Energy Efficient and have a lot of benefits:
