Brief

The 4-star superior Hotel Jägeralpe in Warth with 103 guest beds and 70 beds for employees is the first and only environmental hotel on the Arlberg in Austria. It received a new solar thermal system as part of a renovation in 2016.

Technology

The existing solar system with 16 kW (24m²) was expanded to a total of 160 kW (230m²) and supplies the entire hotel area with five buildings with hot water. The collectors were installed on the roof and the balcony as it was important that the solar system fits architecturally to the overall concept of the renovation. The pools are heated with a heat pump, using the exhaust air from the cooling systems and ventilation systems. The remaining heat is provided by a 400 kW pellet boiler.

Financial Structure

The project was financed by the owner.
