(A Unit of Muthoot Hotels Private Limited)
COMPANY PROFILE
• Vivanta by Taj Green Cove, Kovalam earlier known as Taj Green Cove Resort & Spa
was open to the public on 23.12.2004.
• Managed by the Taj Group of Hotels (Indian Hotels Company Limited - IHCL) and is
owned by Muthoot Hotels (P) Ltd.
• IHCL is part of the well-diversified Tata Group of Companies which has more than 75
companies spread globally.
• Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces has an exclusive division to plan, guide and
monitor all initiatives and processes related to Environment and Corporate Social
Responsibility activities across all the hotels.
• VBT Kovalam has -
59 hillside cottages with elephant-grass thatched rooftops spread over a hillside
3 restaurants: Jasmine Bay, Curries & Bait – 1 bar: Neera Bar – 2 Banquet Halls &
Boardroom – the Jiva Spa
In an endeavor to reinstate its vision and efforts
to boost sustainable tourism and integrate
environment management in all business
areas,
Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces presents
EARTH (Environment Awareness & Renewal at Taj Hotels),
a project which echoes the conscious effort of
one of Asia's largest and finest group of hotels
to commit to energy conservation and
environmental management.
EARTH has received SILVER certification from
EarthCheck, the only worldwide environmental
certification program for travel and tourism
PROFESSIONAL APPROACH TAKEN FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION
• Vivanta by Taj, Kovalam carried out a campaign titled “TEM”, Total Energy Management
in association with international energy and environmental specialists - UV Krishna
Mohan Rao Associates
• The TEM called for allocation of resources in terms of man power ,time ,and money and
Vivanta by Taj, Kovalam, ensured the same.
• TEM meant to look at the entire facility in totality to derive maximum benefits out of the
conservation efforts

HEAT PUMP IN PLACE OF HOT WATER BOILER
HEAT PUMP
• 50000 kcal/hr, diesel (HSD) fired hot water boiler was replaced with electrically
operated heat pump for domestic hot water generation
• Heat pumps provide hot water at 55~60˚C resulting in 1/3rd the cost of generation of
hot water when diesel fired boilers are used
• Heat pumps provide cooling as a free byproduct which is used for air conditioning
thereby reducing the chiller load
• Heat pumps can provide hot water throughout the year without any interruption
• The carbon footprint by virtue of heat pump is minimal and is therefore environment
friendly.
• Heat pump is a reverse cycle vapor compression air-conditioner where the rejected
heat from condenser is utilized to generate hot water or hot air.
• The evaporator of the heat pump can be designed to deliver cold air or chilled water.
• Combined cooling and heating “Coefficient of Performance” (COP) of heat pump can
be 6 to 8 and only heating COP ranges from 2.5 to 4 based on evaporation and
condensation temperature
• The following schematic gives a broad depiction of the heat pump cycle:
