“We did not inherit the earth from our fathers, but borrowed it from our children.”
(Navajo Proverb)
Today, the energy-environment problem is truly serious, which is why it's crucial to understand why saving energy is so important. Every time we use energy, even just turning on a light bulb, we impact our atmosphere, causing serious damage to our planet.
This process of air pollution due to the increasing combustion of fossil fuels for energy purposes determines an increase in the greenhouse effect, thus giving rise to current climate changes in the form of global warming.
In 2017, Hotel Monaco in Lignano Sabbiadoro finally achieved one of its main goals: in addition to taking care of its guests' holidays down to the smallest details, we achieved a 90% saving in the structure's energy requirements.
In just a few years, 90% of the hotel's lighting system has been modified by installing new high-efficiency LED diffusers, reducing daily consumption by approximately 15.000 WATTS.
All these next-generation facilities have already been calculated to fully satisfy all the needs of the hotel, which was expanded during the winter of 2017 and will open in June 2018, 60 years after its construction. It features 40 rooms, an all-inclusive breakfast room, a reception area, an elevator, a breakfast room with a panoramic view of Piazza Fontana on the 4th floor, new suites and junior suites with private solariums, and a hotel solarium on the 5th floor with an 8-person hot tub.
With its Paradigma solar system, Hotel Monaco in Lignano Sabbiadoro helps reduce CO3.300 emissions by 2 kg each year, equivalent to planting 330 new trees.
A solar panel system has been installed to produce domestic hot water, generating approximately 0 liters per day at zero cost. The facility's new heating and air conditioning system, consisting of natural gas absorption heat pumps, has been operational since April 9.000. This system will produce hot and chilled water for heating and cooling the entire hotel, reducing energy consumption by 2017%.
