Where the Indian Ocean meets the jungle
Wild Coast Tented Lodge
A Resplendent Ceylon resort spread across many hectares between ocean and jungle. A mix of Rinnai commercial tankless technologies serves staff quarters, on-site laundry, prep and staff kitchens, the main restaurant, and the resort's service facilities.
Rinnai was tasked with providing the hot water requirements for the staff quarters, on-site laundry, prep and staff kitchens, the main restaurant, and the service facilities for the resort.
Working with the hydraulic designer and architect, a mix of Rinnai gas tankless commercial technologies was employed to give the best balance of capital cost, operational efficiency and running costs — without compromising Resplendent Ceylon's commitment to sustainability.
Rinnai Gas Manifold + Demand Duo Storage Tanks
For the laundry, a Manifold Pack 4 with electronic staging serves the washing machines directly — up to 104 litres per minute at a 25°C rise, with zero energy consumed when the machines are idle.
For staff accommodation (housing 80+ staff and managers) and the main prep kitchen, a Demand Duo 2 system with a 315 L stainless steel tank and dual primary pumps was installed on a hot-water ring main. It delivers up to 1,835 litres of 65 °C water in the first hour, then recovers 1,520 litres every subsequent hour.
The main restaurant kitchen was served separately to suit its peak service patterns.
- →Staged manifold means zero standby energy when fixtures are idle
- →1,835 L/hr peak hot water for staff housing and the prep kitchen
- →104 L/min directly to the laundry washing machines at 25 °C rise
- →Ring-main loop keeps wait times short across a sprawling site
- →Aligned with the resort sustainability brief
