New: During the winter, shuttle service from the Parador Vert in Auvergne to the Superbesse resort!

Heating

NOS INSTALLATIONS

Energy facilities designed to limit our impact

Heating and air conditioning represent a significant portion of energy consumption in accommodation establishments. On average, these systems can account for up to 40-50% of a building's total energy consumption. Greenhouse gas emissions depend on the type of fuel used (gas, electricity, heating oil, etc.) and the efficiency of the equipment. For example, traditional heating systems can emit between 200 and 300 grams of CO2 per kWh consumed.
 
At Parador Vert, we have opted for sustainable technical solutions, allowing us to limit energy consumption and reduce emissions related to heating.
 

Geothermal wells and heat pumps

Heat pumps, and in particular geothermal wells, are very eco-friendly renewable energy sources that harness the heat from the air or the ground.
We have 4 geothermal wells with a depth of 60 to 80 m to supply the reception hall and the farmhouse, as well as heat pumps in the other cottages.

Use of Solar Thermal Panels

Solar thermal panels convert solar energy into heat, which is used for heating water and spaces.
We have 12m² of solar thermal panels

Stove and Pellet Stove

Pellet stoves use wood pellets, a renewable energy source, to produce heat.
Pellet stoves and wood-burning stoves are more energy-efficient than traditional fireplaces and generate fewer particulate emissions. They also contribute to the recovery of wood waste, thus participating in a circular economy.

Thermal Insulation

Good thermal insulation reduces heat loss in winter and keeps things cool in summer, thus reducing heating and air conditioning needs.
It ensures constant thermal comfort for occupants, while reducing energy costs.

Eco-friendly actions in everyday life

Simple steps to optimize heating

Heating represents a significant portion of an accommodation's energy consumption. At Parador Vert, a few simple steps can optimize its use, limit unnecessary consumption, and preserve everyone's comfort.

Regulating Room Temperature

  • Action: Reduce the ambient temperature of rooms, especially when they are unoccupied.
  • Impact: Each degree less can save approximately 7% of the energy used for heating. This reduces not only energy consumption but also CO2 emissions.

 

Optimal Temperature for Quality Sleep

  • Tip: It is recommended to maintain the bedroom at a temperature of around 18°C to promote quality sleep.
  • Benefits: This temperature is not only energy-efficient, but it is also considered ideal for restful sleep, thus contributing to the well-being of the occupants.

 

Do Not Heat Unused Rooms

  • Action: Turn off the radiators or reduce the temperature in rooms that are not in use.
  • Impact: This avoids wasting energy by unnecessarily heating empty spaces, thus reducing the environmental impact.
