The Georgetown Cabins
complex utilizes eco-friendly design and innovation.
-Off-the-grid, solar
power
-Water pumped from well to reserve
tanks utilizing solar power. Water is then gravity
fed from tanks to cabins.
-Recycled and natural materials used
when practical (recycled brick, stones and
concrete counter tops)
-Wet pond septic system
-On-site water reserve for fire
protection
The cabins are designed with energy efficiency,
reduced carbon footprint and water conservation throughout.
-Super insulated
exterior walls
-Low-e windows
-light colored, metal roof
-solar powered attic fan for roof
ventilation
-energy star appliances
-total air flow designed interior walls
and circulating fans
-low electrical consumption and low
heat output LED lighting
-electronic ignition LP gas fireplace
-On-demand, electronic ignition, hot
water heater
-electronic ignition gas cook top
-low flow water fixtures & faucets
-fire proof or retardant exterior
materials
-recycling used where practical &
available
-Low
outside lighting for dark skies
*Although we have a generator for back-up
power if needed, our solar power system is designed to handle our
expected needs.
