TUSDU students visit the first certified "green restaurant" in Croatia - "Konavoski dvori"

The TUSDU students have visited the first certified "green restaurant" in Croatia - "Konavoski dvori" and investigated benefits of recent energy renovation.

There are implemented lot of strategies which save energy:

solar pannels in combination with hydropower, regulated by heat pump (air-water) - facilitate heating/ventilation, underfloor heating, heating the water in boilers for kitchen and bathrooms;
2700 l gas station (part of kitchen devices use gas instead of electric energy);
16 energy saving devices;
carbon barbecue instead of electric;
thermal insulation;
LED lighting (80% less electric energy);
light sensors in bathrooms;
planned ordering space in the kitchen (to save energy).

The aim of the project was to reduce the use of energy more than 50%. Now, they expect even 70%.

Regarding other zero waste strategies, they also have:

device for separation of fat and oil from the kitchen (220 l);
biodegradable packaging, straws;
take away (food leftovers);
seasonal menu;
local food.
