Energy²POG - Hybrid Energy Cluster Pogusch - Renewable energies and cost-efficient operation

Status

ongoing

Starting point / motivation

Inns and restaurants have an energy cost share of approx. 6% of turnover, hotels of approx. 4% (BMWFW,2015). Energy consumption in hotels and restaurants is a decisive production factor that causes high costs and CO2 emissions.

Following deficits are present at the moment:

• Only few innovative implementations in the area of energy and sustainability in hotels and tourism facilities exist.
• Complex energy and resource flows.
• Usually, individual components (energy, building materials, food, mobility, etc.) are considered separately. Synergy potentials are not exploited.
• Hardly any consumption data are available for all resource flows in the food service industry.

Using the example of the "Steirereck - Pogusch" gastronomy and hotel project, a plus-energy ensemble is to be created by energetic and ecological optimization measures of the existing buildings in combination with the planned new construction.

Contents and goals

The aim of the project is to develop a building that functions as self-sufficiently as possible, as well as the architecturally state-of-the-art implementation of the overall ecological concept. This links energy-relevant components such as low-energy standards, thermal and electrical supply from renewable energy sources with sustainable plant growth in building-integrated greenhouses for food autonomy.

There is no doubt that residential and similar buildings have the highest potential for the implementation of sustainability goals. But it is shown that special buildings, such as hotels and tourism facilities, have high energy saving potentials on the one hand and can contribute significantly to the dissemination of plus energy buildings and innovative technologies - especially the applied demo project - on the other hand.

Methods

Using the example of the "Steirereck - Pogusch" gastronomy and hotel project, a plus-energy ensemble is to be created by energetic and ecological optimization measures of the existing buildings in combination with the planned new construction.

It is to be shown that a (nearly?) energy-self-sufficient, resource saving tourism project in "island position" can be realised by a comprehensive bundle of measures.

The measures focus on operating energy (heating, cooling, electricity), supplemented by measures to reduce resource consumption (local food production, recycling management - composting, selection of ecological building materials) and measures to reduce mobility-related energy and CO2 consumption (electro mobility).

Expected results

For the visitors and guests of the hotel project "Steirereck - Pogusch" the entire measures and consumption data are prepared and presented in the form of an energy educational trail.

Due to the high national and international awareness level of the company "Steirereck - Pogusch" (guests include important representatives from politics, administration, business and society), the research project has high dissemination potential and multiplication effects.
