Six Senses Fort Barwara Advances Energy-Efficient, Regenerative Hospitality This National Energy Conservation Day

• The fort’s Solar Water Panel System has significantly reduced 3 to 5 % electricity, 5% diesel, and 3 to 5% of carbon emissions each day

• Upcoming additions including pool covers and next-generation heat pumps will further strengthen the fort’s regenerative approach

 Barwara, Rajasthan, 14^th December 2025: As India observes National Energy Conservation Day, Six Senses Fort Barwara reaffirms its commitment to advancing energy efficiency within the hospitality sector. Set within a sensitively restored 14th-century fort, the property continues to demonstrate how heritage preservation, guest comfort, and environmental responsibility can coexist in perfect balance.

 Through integrated engineering solutions, passive cooling design, and smart operational systems, the fort has steadily reduced its resource footprint, quietly enhancing performance while maintaining the intuitive guest experience the brand is known for.

“Today’s travellers seek experiences that feel meaningful and grounded. Our conservation efforts are intentionally designed to protect the fort’s legacy while elevating the guest journey in meaningful ways. When heritage is preserved and regeneration is prioritised, guests naturally feel more connected to the place and its story.”

Rajat Gera, Commercial Director, Six Senses Fort Barwara,

 Over the past year, Six Senses Fort Barwara has strengthened its energy management practices with a suite of intelligent systems. Motion sensors in host areas, automated lighting controls, dimming modules, running-hours meters for heavy equipment, and natural ventilation strategies all work cohesively to reduce pressure on energy systems.

 Respecting the fort’s architectural integrity, the property has adopted a Solar Water Panel System that significantly reduces daily resource use without altering the property's heritage silhouette. The system has contributed to lowering 3 to 5 % of electricity demand, reducing 5% diesel of diesel consumption, and cutting up to 3 to 5% of daily carbon emissions.

“Energy conservation is part of our daily practice and a core expression of who we are at Six Senses. Every improvement we adopt at Six Senses Fort Barwara honours the character of this fort while contributing to a healthier environment. Our progress reflects a belief that comfort and consciousness can go hand in hand.”

Aaron McGrath, Regional General Manager, Six Senses India and Bhutan,

 Water efficiency is central to the property’s resource strategy. Through aerators, sensor-based faucets, real-time leak detection, and an advanced recycling system that reuses 65% of daily water, with nearly half nourishing the surrounding landscape, the property reduces the energy required for treatment and distribution. This integrated model amplifies overall conservation impact across daily operations.

 To support cleaner mobility, the fort has installed a 22 kW EV charger accessible to guests and the local community. Several upcoming initiatives including pool covers to reduce heat-pump usage and water evaporation, as well as the addition of high-efficiency heat pumps for space heating and to significantly cut diesel consumption place the property on a strong long-term pathway for regenerative, resource-efficient operations.

 As Six Senses Fort Barwara continues its conservation journey, the focus remains on advancing regenerative operations that protect heritage, deepen community impact, and support India’s broader sustainability goals. With ongoing investments in smart systems and responsible design, the fort aims to set new benchmarks for environmentally attuned heritage hospitality.
