- Architecture
• The structure uses a thermal coat and a cladding entirely in local stone.
• Heating and cooling takes place via the underfloor system.
• The energy class of the building is A4.
- Electric energy
• The structure has a photovoltaic system with storage that covers over 100% of total consumption.
-Hot water
• L’Eremito uses vacuum solar thermal systems and a tracking solar concentrator that allow for the production of over 100% coverage of the consumption necessary for heating the building in the winter months, domestic hot water and a hot water tub with hydromassage .
- Cooling down
• The cooling system takes place through the use of an underfloor conditioning system entirely powered by the photovoltaic system.
- Installations
• The structure uses only very low voltage LED lamps as well as presence detectors in the corridors to minimize consumption when not needed.
• The WC systems have low water consumption.
- Irrigation
• Rainwater is collected in special cisterns used for irrigation.
- Home automation
• The home automation system manages and gives aggregate information in real time on all water and energy consumption with the relative productions.
- Catering
• The restaurant is vegetarian and the cuisine is based on self-produced organic products from the garden and from local suppliers.
- Waste
• Eremito tries to minimize the production of waste and the residual part is differentiated and composted.
• Our use of plastic has sharply declined over time. Bottled water has been replaced with a reverse osmosis system.
• The amenities and cleaning products are organic, biodegradable and the containers are refillable as we are committed to the Plastic Free goal of the entire structure.
-Vehicles
• There are recharging columns with a photovoltaic system for our guests’ electric vehicles.
- The projects
• L’Eremito has already reached energy self-sufficiency and we try in our short-term programs to reduce if not eliminate the structure’s environmental impact by also rationalizing the environmental aspects that seem less relevant at first sight.
