Innovation & Environmentally friendly solutions
The property was completely sustainably renovated and restored in 2021, taking the following measures:
Replace wooden ground floor with insulation floors in accordance with current new construction standards
Retention walls placed in front of all exterior walls and insulated in such a way that ventilation and heat loss is kept to a minimum
Roof insulation according to the current new construction standard
Low temperature heating and cooling (WKO) by means of a heat pump
28 PV panels good for an expected yield of 10,000 kWh per year
Air treatment and Co2 control by means of mechanical ventilation
Daylight and lighting presence circuits throughout the hotel
Energy-efficient LED lighting throughout the hotel
Home automation/KNX control of energy sources and lighting
Daily use of the hotel
Innovation in particular ensures sustainability
By using the latest technologies (home automation/KNX) we can keep the footprint for energy consumption to a minimum. Whether a suite is occupied or empty, we ensure that a suite is optimally making use of the energy consumption.
We achieve this with a number of smart solutions, such as:
- Detection of presence and absence of guests in suite during their stay
- If there is no guest in the suite, the suite temperature is brought back to a comfortable temperature and the curtains are automatically closed
- When windows or exterior doors are opened, the heating/air conditioning is turned off until they are closed again
- Automatically turn off the lights when guests are absent
- Switching off sockets in the absence of guests, so that residual current is kept to a minimum. Except for the sockets by the bed
What else do we do?
Daily work and maintenance
For both guests and staff, the switch to environmentally conscious thinking has a positive impact on the business operations of our hotel. That is why we have implemented the following measures:
Separating plastic, glass and paper
Using biodegradable chemicals and cleaning agents
Use regional and organic breakfast
Informing guests about the desired waste separation in the suite
