We reduce our energy consumption through modern insulation and heat recovery. In addition, we obtain part of our electricity from photovoltaics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h3><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion\" id=\"accordionParent\">\n        <div class=\"accordion-item\">\n        <div class=\"accordion-header border-bottom-0 bg-transparent\" id=\"heading13730\">\n            <button class=\"accordion-button bg-transparent border-0 collapsed\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse13730\">Valuable heat<\/button>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" id=\"collapse13730\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordionParent\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-body\">\n<p>To save energy, we use any\u00a0available\u00a0heat\u00a0and therefore we need\u00a0less electricity and fossil fuels.\u00a0In many areas we use the\u00a0technology of heat recovery, for example from our\u00a0ventilation system, from\u00a0cooling and from the\u00a0clothes\u00a0dryers. The heat pumps extract\u00a0heat from\u00a0the engine room and the ventilation. With this heat we can heat a fourfold amount of water and\u00a0simultaneously cool\u00a0the dining room. We also use the waste heat from the refrigeration unit to charge the storage heater. The brine pump can\u00a0produce the fivefold amount of\u00a0hot water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the aid of a heat pump, the heat from the swimming pool is pumped back into the heating circuit. The water for the whirlpool is collected in a tank where it is purified and reused. This process saves a lot of water, energy and chemicals. Andy Hotel Apartment also has its own combined heat and power plant, the waste heat also flows into the heating system. Already in 1988 we have applied natural insulation material to our building to avoid the loss of heat to the environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"accordion-item\">\n        <div class=\"accordion-header border-bottom-0 bg-transparent\" id=\"heading13731\">\n            <button class=\"accordion-button bg-transparent border-0 collapsed\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse13731\">Power from sun and rain<\/button>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" id=\"collapse13731\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordionParent\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-body\">\n<p>Of course a hotel that offers its guests every comfort uses\u00a0a lot of energy in the form of electricity. Therefore we generate a portion of the required electricity ourselves.\u00a0Already 20 years ago we\u00a0have invested in\u00a0solar energy. The photovoltaic system on the roof provides us with clean electricity, and the rest is purchased from a green energy provider. Our energy budget is fully electronically controlled. That means that\u00a0the system recognizes where energy is produced (e. g. in the solar system and the heat pump) and distributes\u00a0it where it is needed, for example, in the heating or hot water storage. As a result, we are able to save about 25 to 30% energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where there is sun, there is rain. Apart from the fact that the photovoltaic system even works in rainy weather, we take advantage of every rainy day to save resources. Rainwater is collected on the hotel garage and is used on hot, sunny days for watering flowers. This shows how versatile sustainability at Andy Hotel Apartment is applied to save as much energy as possible and preserve our natural resources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sustainability &amp; Environment The beauty of the mountains and landscapes of the Pitztal are a true gift of nature, which we want to protect for us and for future generations.
