Major Resort Contract

THE Hunter Valley's Quantum Energy Systems has won a major contract with the Club Med Lindeman Island resort in Queensland.
Quantum is the world's only manufacturer of the energy-efficient Quantum Heat Pump hot water systems.
Managing director Steve Harmon said that the solar-boosted Quantum energy systems worked day and night; rain, hail or shine.
`They're perfect for the Whitsunday environment,' Mr Harmon said.
The final approval for the project came direct from Club Med in Paris.
`All Club Med resorts around the world have been instructed to reduce overall energy consumption by 15% and Lindeman Island realised the substantial benefits proposed by Quantum.
`Our hot water systems will be installed in guest accommodation, staff buildings and the main resort kitchen.
`Because of the energy efficiency of the system, Lindeman Island management expect to recover their investment in Quantum within two years, solely in cost savings associated with reduced diesel usage.
`This could well open the door for Quantum to Club Med resorts around the world.
`Equally important is the environmental impact on the island. Following the Quantum installation, the reduction in CO
emissions from generator exhausts will amount to hundreds of tonnes a year.'
