We put the eco in ecoteknica
“Truly committed to sustainability”
At Ecoteknica we try hard to have a positive local effect having designed and built our own sustainable offices and by living sustainably.
Permaculture
We are surrounded by 2,000 m2 of permaculture where we grow maize, beans, and tomatoes in our milpa, the ancient Mayan mixed cropping system, from ancestral seeds sourced from local villages. We have 2.1 hectares of carefully unmanaged forest.
Buildings
Our buildings use passive ventilation through-out with each internal space having at least 3 ventilation pathways. The buildings are isolated from pathways by thermal breaks. Trees, bamboo, and passion fruit vines give external shade.
Water and electricity
Water is supplied from deep wells and we clean all waste water before returning to the aquifer. Also, we have a 250 L solar water heater and a 12 kW photovoltaic system which produces more electricity than we use.
Fauna
Living with us are over 50 species of bird, 10 reptiles and amphibian, 12 mammals, and 80 species of tree.
