| 2. WHY | ||||
| Reason for taking the good practice action | To produce and to use own green energy with solar power in order to be more sustainable and to contribute to the environment while displaying that reducing emissions can go along with economical feasibility | |||
| Issues and challenge | To find a proper place and to get the legal allowance for the project | |||
| 3. HOW | ||||
| Methods /steps / tools used (to develop the good practice) |
We have built a carport on our already existing parking lot. On top of that carport the photovoltaic modules were installed. The carport is very innovative. 4m deep fundaments have been drilled into the parking lot for a very stable construction of the carport. Therefore, it was possible to use a minimum of only 32 posts of steel to hold the roof of the weight of the carport with 25 of these 32 post even being at the edge of the parking lot. With only 7 post remaining in the inside area of the parking lot the likelihood for cars to hit the post is minimzed and thus safety is increased. |
|||
| 4. RESULT | ||||
| Specific/measurable results, benefits | The green energy produced saves 370t of CO2 per year and covers at least 60 percent of the energy needed by the hotel per year. The amount of electricity produced per year could supply the energy 50 households of 4 persons. The parking has space for up to 72 cars. | |||
| Recognitions (e.g. awards) |
Certificate obtained by the economy minister of Bavaria: "Umwelt- und Klimapakt Bayern" |
|||
| 5. REFLECTION | ||||
| Lessons learned |
Being environmental friendly can go along with economical feasibilty The style of construction of the carport was more expensive than usual carports however is very long lasting and safety is maximised. |
|||
| Challenges met |
Being able to use the green energy for the hotel directly, to reduce emissions and supply also green energy with over produced electricity to the public electricity grid To provide green electric energy also for our guests with four electric charging stations for their vehicles The carport gives shelter to guests and their vehicles from snow, rain and heat of the sun |
|||
| Critical success factors |
No new land was needed since the parking lot was already existing and therefore natureal areas have been preserved. To get the legal allowances to use the electricity produced also for the hotel itself |
