Hotels Taking Steps Towards Sustainability in Grafendorf

AD1716 Apartments exemplify green hospitality with their extensive eco-friendly practices. Utilizing solar radiation as a renewable energy source, the establishment showcases the remarkable blend of the past and the future. Notably, two buildings, aged over 300 years, have been completely refurbished using natural building materials. This meticulous renovation process included installing a wooden structure within the existing stable block and re-plastering the walls of the main house with pure natural mortar for insulation.

The buildings have been designed to maximize airflow, minimizing the need for air conditioning. Features like triple-glazed windows that block heat and cold, and the rainwater collection system further underscore the commitment to sustainability. In line with this, non-toxic cleaning products are used across the property and LED lighting illuminates the premises. Complementary bicycles, electric car charging stations, and eco-labeled toilet paper reflect the property's attention to details. Further, guests are welcomed to comfortable rooms equipped with automatic systems that turn off lights and electrical appliances when not in use, fostering energy conservation. The conscious waste management, which includes separating waste into at least three categories and composting organic waste, embodies the property's commitment to a greener planet.
