Paraíso de Alcudia - Responsabilidad social

PARAISO DE ALCUDIA installed a new air conditioning system in 2018, based on geothermal energy.

But what does this mean?
It is based on the principle of using underground water for climatization purposes, by creating a set of wells that allow us to draw in seawater and return it once it has served its purpose.

During the process, the underground water (seawater in this case) is passed through titanium filters and then returned to the ground with minimal thermal impact (within a range of 5°C of its original temperature) and no change in its chemical composition.

The system of wells built for this installation also makes it possible to discharge excess heat into the ground with no environmental impact.

Apart from this, the rest of the installation works like a conventional air-conditioning system, using a closed water circuit.

The geothermal system installed in the hotel has a thermal efficiency of up to double that of the previous electricity-based system, reducing the hotel's energy consumption for climatization by 50%. Since its installation, it has been running flawlessly.

The system also helps reduce the use of fossil fuels for heating and pre-heating the hotel's water.

The new installation reduces our environmental impact and CO2 emissions while also improving the financial side of our operations.

Why did we invest in this?
The installation represented a unique opportunity for PARAISO DE ALCUDIA to further increase its efforts towards sustainability, in line with its environmental policy.

Because we truly love our planet, we constantly try to improve how things are done.

We kept looking ahead, and in 2022 we put into operation a heat exchange system that allows us to reuse the heat generated by our AC units to heat the hotel's water, further reducing our energy consumption and, with it, our CO2 footprint.

Another step towards the goal of sustainability.

El Paraíso de Alcudia was conceived as an efficient establishment that respects its environment. Appreciation for things done well and elegance in every detail have always been part of its hallmarks. That is why El Paraíso de Alcudia considers sustainability to be of vital importance in order to leave a positive legacy on the planet and in society.

El Paraíso de Alcudia approaches its commitment on a daily basis, and the following documents are proof of this commitment:
