	AN ECOTEL HOTEL
CEMENT To start at the very beginning the cement that has gone into making RODAS an eco friendly Hotel is absolutely environment friendly. This cement, PPC (Portland Pozzalana Cement) contains 15-20% fly ash, as compared to OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) and is used for finishings of the exterior plaster, block masonery, tiling and flooring. For concreting works the hotel has used cementitions products like fly ash, GBFS (Granulated Blast Furnace Slag ) etc, which help reduce the atmospheric pollution. Fly ash is a by- product of Electric power generation, and 26% of the same is used in PPC. This also brings down the production of cement, which results in reducing pollution.  PLUMBING At RODAS we believe in the three "R" theory of reduce, reuse, recycle. Water being one of the earth's most precious resources and vital to life we have tried to put this theory in practice by taking special care to conserve this resource by employing carefully planned techniques enlisted below, which re-establishes our belief in the above theory.  AERATORS/FLOW RESTRICTORS All taps contain special aerators, which increase the water's force and reduce outflow, saving water. Using these aerators saves upto 50% of water. In addition in our Ecoteria we have taps operating on timers.  CISTERNS AND FLUSHES 2 other ingenious water saving device are the Concealed Cistern which uses only 6 litres of water per flush as against 15-20 litres used in conventional flushes.  SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT At RODAS we even recycle our wastewater. The hotel's sewage system is connected to the main treatment plant of the Hiranandani gardens, where, with the latest technology, wastewater is treated and then reused in areas like the air conditioning, gardening and for new constructions within the complex.  DRINKING WATER TREATMENT A central chilled water system, purified using ultra violet rays ensure sterilised water and removes the need for 8 water coolers in various outlets.
