resource management

Resource management primarily focuses on the areas of energy, water, and waste management. Energy prices are rising, and global resources are becoming scarce. Join us in setting the course for the sustainable use of available mineral resources and raw materials. Learn here how you can contribute to protecting nature, conserving resources, and saving money at the same time.

Water management
Due to rising global water consumption, this resource is becoming increasingly scarce. Sustainable water management is essential to avoid a dangerous water shortage. Added to this are the rising costs of wastewater treatment and water supply.

Activities:

• Water-saving toilet flush
• Water-saving fittings, water-saving showers instead of bathtubs
• Regulation of the overall water flow
• Checking the seals and water pressure in the pipes to rule out leaks
• Toilet flushing with treated wastewater or rainwater
• Reopen sealed floor surfaces or Double and climate-friendly use through, for example, planted roofs or solar/photovoltaic systems
• Fully fill the dishwasher and washing machine
• Collecting rainwater and using stagnant water
• Regularly measure and improve water consumption
• Use water-saving, low-consumption appliances
• Treatment of tap water as sparkling water

Energy Management
Rising energy costs due to the energy transition and responsibility towards future generations require increasingly conscious use of energy resources. Energy management is the combination of all measures that ensure minimal energy consumption while achieving the required performance. The goals include resource conservation, climate protection, and cost reduction, while ensuring that users' energy needs are met.

Activities:

• Maintenance and sealing of windows and doors
• Reduce washing temperature
• Keep radiators clear, vent regularly
• Use of luminescent diode (LED) Light sources and, if possible, use of motion detectors
• Do not leave devices in standby mode, use power strips to switch them off
• Use of renewable energy
• Use smart thermostats
• Adjust heating system correctly, night-time reduction
• Ventilate efficiently, do not keep the window permanently tilted
• Close doors between rooms, install door closers, close shutters (especially at night)
• Energy-efficient construction or renovation
• thermal insulation

waste management
Waste management refers to the organization and management of the waste cycle with the aim of avoiding, recycling, recovering and disposing of waste in accordance with legal requirements and in the sense of sustainability.

Activities:

• Paperless working
• Waste separation and avoidance, use of large containers, no portion packaging
• Use refill packs instead of disposable packaging
• Repair instead of throwing away
• Tap water instead of bottled water: Empty bottle? Turn on the tap!
• Turning organic waste into fertilizer
• Use rechargeable batteries and return empty batteries
• Buy products with little packaging: less is more
• No kettles, minibars and Coffee machines in hotel rooms
• Possibility to waive room cleaning during your stay
