Vitur Sustainable Living Experience

Sustonica wild heart - sustainability

Welcome to the Sustainable Living Experience! 

Here you will find examples of the simple things that you can do in your vacation rentals in order to make them more sustainable.

The Vitur Sustainable Living Experience is a flat built in the centre of the event by Kave Homes. In collaboration with Sustonica, the property has been equipped with a number of elements that showcase different ways to reduce the environmental impact of holiday rental properties. Holiday home owners and managers can improve their Sustonica score by implementing these sustainable solutions. The Vitur Sustainable Living Experience is a sign of Vitur’s commitment to promoting sustainable practices in the vacation rental industry.

Here you will find the plan of the property, what will be showcased, and how these elements could influence your Sustonica score.

Did you know that...
Having plants in your property can improve air quality, reduce stress, improve environmental wellness, reduce temperature, and provide shadow?
Plants blocking the sun in your property also count at sustonica!

Tener plantas en tu propiedad puede mejorar la calidad del aire, reducir el estrés, mejorar el bienestar ambiental, reducir la temperatura y proporcionar sombra?
¡Las plantas que bloquean el sol en tu propiedad también cuentan en sustonica!

SUSTONICA CRITERIA
A.11. Can the sun coming through the windows be screened?
Can you demonstrate that you have sun screening in your windows?


  • Window Films
  • Window Shades
  • Awnings
  • Solar Screens
  • Exterior Shutters
  • Trees and Plants

    Window screening can help to reduce the amount of heat that enters a home, which can reduce the need for air conditioning and lower energy consumption. Window screening can also help to maintain a more consistent indoor temperature, which can reduce the need for heating in the winter.

    Renewable energies are sources of clean, inexhaustible and increasingly competitive energy. They differ from fossil fuels principally in their diversity, abundance and potential for use anywhere on the planet, but above all in that they produce neither greenhouse gases – which cause climate change – nor polluting emissions.

    ¿Sabía que...
    Las energías renovables son fuentes de energía limpia, inagotable y cada vez más competitiva. Se diferencian de los combustibles fósiles principalmente por su diversidad, abundancia y potencial de uso en cualquier lugar del planeta, pero sobre todo porque no producen gases de efecto invernadero -causantes del cambio climático- ni emisiones contaminantes.

    SUSTONICA CRITERIA
    A.1. Do you acquire Green Energy from your electricity supplier?
    Can you prove that you purchase 100% renewable energy from your electricity supplier? The energy you consume is from renewable sources:

  • Wind
  • Hydro
  • Geothermal
  • Biomass

    These tariffs typically involve suppliers purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) or Guarantees of Origin (GOs) to match the amount of renewable energy they generate or purchase from renewable sources to the amount of energy their customers consume.

    By using a 100% renewable Energy Provider, you can gain up to 15,57% Sustonica Points!

    ¿Sabía que...
    Ofrecer alquileres vacacionales accesibles en silla de ruedas demuestra a los viajeros discapacitados que usted se preocupa por que tengan una experiencia excepcional.

    The light-emitting diode (LED) is today's most energy-efficient and rapidly-developing lighting technology. Quality LED light bulbs last longer, are more durable, and offer comparable or better light quality than other types of lighting.

    ¿Sabía que...
    El diodo emisor de luz (LED) es la tecnología de iluminación actual más eficiente energéticamente y de más rápido desarrollo. Las bombillas LED de calidad duran más, son más duraderas y ofrecen una calidad de luz comparable o mejor que otros tipos de iluminación.

    SUSTONICA CRITERIA
    A.6. Are your windows high performance? Can you demonstrate that all your windows are double or triple glazed?

    Windows have multiple panes of glass. Good glazing reduces heat gain and loss, thereby helping to minimise the use of artificial heating and cooling in a building. Up to 40% of a home’s heating energy can be lost, and up to 87% of its heat gained through windows.

    By having double or triple-glazed windows, you can gain up to 0,91% Sustonica Points!
    Did you know that...

    ¿Sabía que...
    Conseguimos mucho cuando separamos los distintos artículos en casa y luego los trasladamos a los contenedores adecuados. El reciclaje conserva recursos, energía y agua, al tiempo que reduce las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. Además, crea una nueva estructura industrial y puestos de trabajo.
