vi. The facility should

utilize a solar water

heater for instead of an

electrical water heating

system. This will reduce

the energy consumption

for the facility and

capitalize on the

tropical climate and

relatively warm Caribbean

Prevent or minimize the

need for cooling the

facility.

ii. Blinds or window curtains
should be opened and
artificial light usage
discontinued. Usage of
artificial lights drives
up the cost for
electricity for the
facility. This will allow
the building to
