A history of creating unique living environments that exist in ecological harmony with the land.

BVI zoning regulations would allow up to 300 units on our 300 acres (121.4 hectares), however, we will build only 88.  It's another example of Victor International's lifelong history of low-density communities and environmental integrity.

Our vision is to create a sustainable luxury resort community in harmony with nature.  The integration of renewable energy resources that use the sun, wind and global leading-edge eco technologies provides an essential part of the community infrastructure.  The ability to harness these natural resources allows Oil Nut Bay to support all essential community services, including providing fuel for the community transportation system in a natural, unobtrusive way.

Oil Nut Bay is committed to the journey of environmental excellence that will continuously evolve as emerging state-of-the-art technologies, innovations and new ideas come to the marketplace.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification.

Oil Nut Bay community structures are currently being built to 100% to LEED certification standards.  LEED certification, which constitutes a Green Building Rating System developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), provides a suite of standards for the environmentally sustainable design, construction and operation of buildings and neighborhoods.

LEED offers four certification levels -- Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum for five green design categories:

• Sustainable sites
• Water efficiency
• Energy and atmosphere
• Material and resources
• Indoor environmental quality

Sustainability Through Smart Design.

Every community building in Oil Nut Bay is currently being built to achieve LEED Platinum standards.  While currently optional, residents are highly encouraged to design and build their homes to the Platinum level.  To assist in these efforts, Victor International's Environmental Team will advise Oil Nut Bay residents and their builders about how to plan and build structures to the highest levels of energy efficiency, consistent with the total Oil Nut Bay community.

We are also implementing environmentally-conscious infrastructure foundations that will help Oil Nut Bay respectfully maintain the integrity of the islands' natural beauty.

Our team is implementing a variety of eco-progressive initiatives such as capturing wind and solar power to generate electricity for desalinization plants, air conditioning and refrigeration, utilizing zero-emissions G.E.M. cars (Global Electric Motorized Vehicles) for transportation, and using methane generated from organic waste to operate auxiliary energy generators.

• As residences are constructed, solar generation electric is being discretely installed on roofs.
• One example of how this resource is being used is in the conversion of sea water via a reverse regenerative osmosis process, to fresh water for drinking, showering and for use in swimming pools.
• Most domestic hot water will be heated by solar energy, with electric heating as back-up.
• To minimize the amount of electricity used for water production, collected rain and "grey water" --water from sinks, showers, and other non-salt water waste sources-- will be collected and treated for use in watering the landscaping in all areas of Oil Nut Bay.
• Road, pathway, dock and landscape lights will be solar-powered.

 Oil Nut Bay Environmental Team.

Oil Nut Bay is fortunate to harness the knowledge and expertise of visionary Dr. Larry Oswald as Environmental Team Leader.  Dr. Oswald spent the last 10 years at the Chrysler Corporation as CEO of Chrysler's Global Electric Motorcars LLC (GEM) subsidiary, growing GEM into a successful and profitable electric vehicle business, with nearly 37,000 vehicles sold world-wide during this time.

Through Dr. Oswald's direction, Oil Nut Bay is setting a new standard in responsible, sustainable community developments.

Today, Dr. Oswald is funneling his passion for conservation, recycling and renewable energy generation into Oil Nut Bay.  He directs the planning, installation and operational assurances of our integrated community services and energy management systems, making use of nature's abundance of energy -- wind and sun.
