Sustainability is becoming a key focus in the hospitality sector, and Centro Mada Amman demonstrates how hotels can reduce their environmental impact while supporting local communities.
Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
Centro Mada Amman operates on 100% renewable energy, powered by a 1MW solar photovoltaic system. This system covers most of the hotel’s electricity needs and helps avoid over 883 tons of CO₂ emissions annually.
The hotel has also implemented additional energy-saving measures:
-
LED lighting throughout more than 80% of the property
-
Double-glazed windows to reduce heat loss
-
Energy-saving switches and optimized building systems
-
Continuous monitoring to track and reduce energy consumption
These measures ensure that energy is used efficiently and responsibly.
Water Conservation
