[00:00:06.543] Global warming is a big concern to us. [00:00:09.143] We've had floods and fires in this country, [00:00:14.600] so we decided this would be our contribution, [00:00:18.280] so we use less of the power grid, [00:00:21.671] then they would produce less because of that. [00:00:24.320] Solar produces, our panels produce 55 kVA of power, [00:00:29.671] which is more than we need. [00:00:32.543] We are fully supplied. [00:00:35.360] Even if there's power cuts in the country, we don't notice it. [00:00:39.920] There's no time a patient will come and we'll tell them, [00:00:42.444] "Oh, we don't have power." [00:00:44.457] We always have power. [00:00:46.240] Because we take less, then other people can have electricity. [00:00:53.057] Our staff don't use plastic bottles. [00:00:56.600] We have a water dispensing system. [00:00:59.457] We have curtains that we can automatically bring up and down [00:01:05.686] to keep out heat anytime we want. [00:01:09.414] Then the glass windows are double-glazed [00:01:12.761] and also keeps heat out of the building. [00:01:16.720] Water use in our bathrooms are also very minimal [00:01:20.914] because our faucets are designed to reduce water use. [00:01:25.720] Any place on our grounds that are not paved, [00:01:28.857] which is very little paved area, [00:01:30.929] the rest of the places are grassed. [00:01:34.229] Then we have preserved two trees from the construction, [00:01:38.343] It also keeps their building cool.
