• Thermal Building Renovation

In April/June 2024, we carried out a comprehensive thermal renovation of the entire building. The house is now insulated with a thick layer of hemp fibers, which are sustainable and biodegradable. All windows have been replaced and are equipped with external shutters, the roof has been renovated, and the exterior doors have been replaced. A new inner door in the staircase now prevents the chimney effect in the house.

With these measures, we have managed to reduce the calculated CO₂ emissions of our building by nearly 50 tons per year.

• Power from the Sun

In early 2024, we installed a photovoltaic system with 43 kWp on the roof. This provides the house with electricity, heats the water, powers the air-source heat pump, and charges your electric car—all with the power of the sun.

• Electricity from 100% hydropower

  We source our remaining electricity 100% from Tyrolean hydropower and thus from a sustainable and environmentally friendly source.
  
  

• Heating with Air-Source Heat Pump

Also, in early 2024, we integrated an air-source heat pump into our heating system, which now provides energy-efficient and environmentally friendly room heating. Only the peak loads during winter still need to be covered by our gas boiler. However, this boiler is powered by 100% biogas.

• Gas from 100% biogas production

  We get 100% of our gas from local biogas plants (mainly food waste exploitation and waste water treatment). So we heat the house and water with sustainable and renewable fuels.
  
  

• Saving water
  
  In all showers, toilets and sinks we have installed "water brakes" that limit the maximum flow. Thanks to modern technology you will hardly notice the difference to an "unbraked" water pipe. We also refrained from installing bathtubs.
  
  Irrigation of our plants is done using a water-saving, computer-controlled system that delivers water exactly where it's needed: to the roots.

• Environmentally friendly cleaning system
  
  We use a certified environmentally friendly cleaning system in our house. Not only are the detergents themselves environmentally friendly. Thanks to the precisely matched components, we can also save on the amount of cleaning agents used. That – as you will see – even increases the quality of the cleaning.

• Environmentally friendly laundry
  
  The laundry used in the apartments is washed in a resource-friendly and hygienic way in a laundry awarded the Austrian Ecolabel.

• Saving energy
  
  We have been able to reduce annual electricity consumption by about 15%, simply by installing energy-saving electrical appliances and using only LED lighting.
  
  We have now equipped all radiators with thermostatic sensors, and we hope that we will be able to further lower the gas consumption for heating.

• Waste separation
  
  We ask all our guests to help us separate waste. Twice a week we take the recyclables to the local waste collection point and return paper/cardboard, metal, glass and plastic for further use.

• Sustainable employee dismissal pay fund
  
  With the change in our dismissal pay fund, we are also taking steps towards sustainability in the statutory provisions for employee benefits. Our new contractual partner fair-finance (www.fair-finance.at) sees itself as a socially responsible company and thus corresponds to a high degree with our values. This is reflected in an asset assessment based on sustainability and social initiatives. The social responsibility of this employee dismissal pay fund was what led us to the decision to switch to fair-finance.ask all our guests to help us separate waste.
  
  

• BPA-Free Receipt Paper

  Many customers are unaware that the thermal paper used for receipts is one of the main sources of contact with the plasticizer Bisphenol A (BPA) and other harmful substances. However, there are more eco-friendly alternatives, and we use them. Our thermal paper is guaranteed BPA- and phenol-free and made from FSC-certified paper.
  
  

• Sustainable Food and Beverages

  What we offer you as a welcome drink or as a refreshment in between is sourced either from local Austrian suppliers, Fairtrade trade, or, whenever possible, from organic farming. The coffee: organic and Fairtrade. The apple juice: organic and local. The orange juice: Fairtrade. The schnapps: local. The beer: from Austria. The pepper: organic and Fairtrade. The water: straight from the Wilder Kaiser.
