Sustainable energy efficiency & climate protection
Engadin St. Moritz Mountains AG, Hotels, is committed to sustainable energy optimization and active climate protection. The company has been a member of the Energy Agency for Industry since 2014 and pursues a recognized target agreement to increase energy efficiency and reduce CO₂ emissions. This is implemented through defined measures over a period of ten years and is reviewed annually. Engadin St. Moritz Mountains AG was awarded the certificate of the Energy Agency for Industry (EnAW) for this commitment.
TO THE CERTIFICATE
In addition to a construction method that followed the principles and specifications of the «Minergie Labe»l, the «PlusEnergy Hotel» project went one step further: From the original area of 1,700 m², the building was expanded to 2700 m². Despite 50% more floor space, the energy demand was reduced by 64% from 436,600 kWh/a to 157,400 kWh/a.
Photovoltaic power generation
Waste heat from the drive of the railroad operation
56 m² of tube collectors in the panes of the windows of the basement floor provide the necessary energy for hot water in the building of the Romantik Hotel Muottas Muragl. 16 geothermal probes with an average length of 200 metres, a total of 3200 metres, supply the entire building with geothermal heat. Additionally, 228 metres of the most efficient photovoltaic system in Switzerland is situated along the railroad track and provides for the generation of the required electrical energy. If surplus solar energy is available, it is stored in the ground via ground probes. This way, the earth storage mass regenerates itself. Waste heat from cooling systems, heat recovery from exhaust air, and waste heat from the machine room are further complementary measures that make the new building a sustainable and environmentally friendly operation. In the annual balance, the mountain in fact produces more energy than the building actually needs.
Thanks to the Medicleantec Micro Cleaner, we can clean the Romantik Hotel Muottas Muragl in a particularly environmentally friendly way - only with water, completely without chemicals or aggressive cleaning agents, guaranteeing 100% hygiene.
How does it work? With the Medicleantec's micro dry steam: The high-performance Micro Cleaner heats the cleaning device and works with very dry micro steam (only 5-8% water content), achieving a residue-free, hygienic cleanliness on all surfaces and materials.
