The Almfamilyhotel Scherer presents an example of eco-friendly hospitality at its best, cleverly weaving sustainable practices into every facet of its operation. The hotel leverages renewable energy, harnessing solar radiation and geothermal energy to provide for its energy needs. The structure of the hotel has been thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light and air flow, reducing reliance on artificial heating, lighting, and air conditioning. Triple-glazed windows contribute to the energy efficiency, effectively blocking heat and cold. A commitment to sustainability is exhibited in their choice of building materials, all derived from sustainable resources, as well as a green roof that contributes to insulation and rainwater absorption.
The hotel’s dedication to environmental preservation extends to water management, waste management, and energy conservation. Rainwater is collected and used throughout the property, while the wastewater is responsibly treated and reused. The toilets are designed to flush using only up to six litres per flush. Waste separation is diligently performed into at least three categories, and all organic waste is composted. The property has installed LED lighting and employs an automatic system that turns off lights and electrical appliances when guests leave their rooms. Guests are encouraged to participate in energy conservation through signs informing them that towels will only be changed upon request. Furthermore, the on-site restaurant provides an exceptional dining experience with organic food sourced primarily from local producers, also offering a vegetarian menu. To ensure continual improvement, the hotel performs an energy audit every five years, reaffirming its commitment to eco-friendly operations.
