Results and objectives
Results of the 1st action plan and forecasts for the 2nd action plan:
The hotel implemented a two-year action plan, from October 2006 to October 2008. The results are conclusive and show a 6.7% reduction in electricity consumption and a 9.1% reduction in gas consumption.
The reduction in water consumption and the lack of awareness of our waste production have led us to draw up a second two-year action plan, from October 2008 to October 2010. The main aim of this plan is to control and limit the amount of non-recyclable and/or harmful waste produced. Additionally, the staff have been asked to pay particular attention to our water consumption.
As part of this second action plan, full training for staff was organised for February 2009 to introduce and explain this new plan. This training also served to introduce the necessary tools for each department to improve their ecological impact.
With a view to minimising our ecological footprint, the hotel plans to rethink its entire lighting scheme with the aim of having a hotel fitted with 100% low-energy bulbs or very low-energy LED lights. The new criteria issued by the European Ecolabel are motivating us to also reduce our water consumption. The hotel’s average water output should not exceed 9l/minute yet is currently at 11.4l/minute. To solve this problem we are installing high-performance aerators which will reduce the water flow by several litres per minute.
