Sea Water Air Conditioning

The InterContinental Bora Bora & Thalasso Spa was the first property in the world to successfully implement Sea Water Air Conditioning – or SWAC. Following on this accomplishment, The Brando also installed a SWAC system, reducing electrical demand for air-conditioning by more than 40%.

The Brando has achieved prestigious LEED Platinum Certification and features photovoltaic solar panels, natural wastewater treatment, an onsite desalination plant, and a rainwater catchment system.
