SW Nepal provided detail engineering design and adequate construction supervision to Mr. Nurpu Lama, owner of Lama Guest House, Chipling, Helambu for the construction of 4 roomed lodge with energy, water and comfort efficient measures. In this lodge, 5W solar PV and 300 liter solar water heater are installed. The infill walls of rooms are parqueted with wooden planks and insulation forms to maintain room temperature even in winter. This reduced the consumption of wood for fireworks; a convention method used before to maintain the temperature. Further, bio-gas plant is also installed to manage solid waste from the lodge.
