EMPURIES SELF-SUFFICIENCY

We have selected, based on the developed analysis some strategies to achieve a level of self-sufficiency in terms of energy in the hostal.

We start the energy production research from the fact that there are some important energy sources to consider in the site, taking advantage of the obvious position of the hotel in front of the sea.

There exist a series of considerations to take in mind before choosing any ocean, sun or wind energy production method, such as the possible impacts on the shape and aesthetics of the beach, very important because the main attractor of the hostel is its beautiful environment, and its alteration might bring with it a serious economic impact, so any method that permanently alters its context should be avoided.

Biochar has many advantages including those of construction materials such as bricks, panels, and blocks, by using this component in materials the building walls become lighter and more insulate. Bricks are made using, rice husk biochar (a byproduct from rice mills), cement and sand. The recommended usage for the material is, around paths and plants, inside walls and high walls, for insulation uses, for termite resistant issues, and when light weight materials are needed.
