Hotel Melià Villa Le Blanc
The hotel Melià Villa Le Blanc is a benchmark on the island of Menorca for its high energy efficiency and minimal water consumption.
Located in the cove of Santo Tomás, it has multiple highly efficient systems capable of generating energy from open geothermal and photovoltaic, recover energy within the building to generate free hot water or recondition ventilation air.
In addition, it has also been thought to be an ecological hotel without losing the quality of a 5* hotel’s own great luxury with energy generation systems with biomass, offering robustness to the facilities without compromising its commitment to the environment
TALAT’s solution covers the hotel’s comprehensive energy and water management, featuring:
Clean Energy
Solar panels generate 100% renewable electricity
Seawater-based geothermal boosts HVAC efficiency
Systems switch between high-performance and energy-saving modes based on solar output
Carbon-Neutral Heating
Biomass boilers use plant-based fuels, balancing CO₂ emissions with absorption during growth.
Energy Recovery
Residual heat from equipment preheats hot water and warms ventilation air.
Water Reuse
Greywater from sinks/showers is filtered and disinfected
Rainwater is collected from roofs
Both supply toilets and irrigation
Centralized Control
A SCADA system monitors and adjusts operations in real time, optimizing efficiency and minimizing carbon footprint.
The hotel employs recovery systems for rainwater and greywater, mindful of water consumption—a scarce resource on the islands.
All installations are managed by a control system that modulates operations for the lowest CO₂ impact, using biomass or electricity based on environmental conditions
- Water Consumption Savings -75%
- Global CO₂ Emissions Savings -65%
- Lighting Electric Consumption Savings -75%
