Power concept
- 34 kWp photovoltaic panels made in Germany
- 76,8 kWh storage system, LiFePO4 ForteLion technology with unique thermal stability and thus maxiumum safety
- Split log firewood boiler, firewood from own local resoursces, no purchase necessary
- 5000l heat accumulator for storage of thermal energy and preparation of hygienic hot water
- Floor heating throughout the building
- Central ventilation system
- Goals: Active energy balance, producing more engery than needed, >90% real time autarky
Principles considering construction
- Use of an already existant building, thus keeping newly sealed soil minimal
- Insulation of the outer shell with ecological materials – ground floor: bricks / Minopor, 1st floor: aerated concrete 40cm, 2nd floor: wooden frame structure / wood fibre / rock wool
- Lime sand bricks for inner walls as thermal buffer and sound insulation
- No use of OSB-, MDF- or other types of chipboards in the entire building
- Vapour permeable wall construction, mineral plasters and paints only
- Furniture wood mainly from recycling the contruction elements of the old barn, generation old own reserves, or own harvest
- Reuse / recycle – explixitly not using new products for certain purposes
- Short access routes as key criterium for choice of partners
Accomodation
- Supersoft bedlinen without need of neither active drying nor ironing
- Cleaning and towel change during stay only on request
- Ecological cosmetic products without plastic wrap
- Hygienic tissues made from 100% recycling fibres
- Minimum use of chemical detergents, preferring vapour cleaning
- Running drier and washing machines when enough power surplus is available whenever possible
Food and delight
- Preferring local products / Austrian organic products / products with certificates for sustainablility
- Coffee machines with biodegradable pads only
- No single-use plastic wraps for our breakfast boxes
- Also other singl-use wrapping is reduced to a minimum
Mobiltiy and further measures
- Free arrival/departure shuttle for guests traveling with public transport
- Free mountainbike rent
- Inexpensive E-Bike rental
- Combined shuttle and shopping rides
- Three charging points for electric vehicles, feeded preferably with pv surplus energy, for guests non profit tariffs
- Refrigerators and dishwashers of A+++ energy efficiency category only (B/C according to new certification system)
- In the appartements the refrigerators have no freezer compartement, there's a central common freezer that can be used
- Reduce of standby consumption for unused appartements
- TV only on request
- Efficient Showerheads that reduce hot water consumption for showers to 50% with similiar comfort
- Hightec and lowtec are combined, high intergration on the energy management side is combined with reduced entertainment technology / 'gadget' smart1 home functions
- Interaction of our guest with our concept is wanted and promoted – an infopanel in each appartement shows the power supply status
and many more details you we hope you discover during your stay!
