Information on energy efficiency and sustainability
Responsible and energy-saving
Key points of our energy concept
Energy consumption
Every Christmas Garden is individual, so electricity consumption varies accordingly. The average energy consumption for the lighting installations is roughly equivalent to the amount of electricity needed to start a standard coffee filter machine once or to iron for 16 minutes, for example.
Electricity savings
The lighting design and pathway lighting consist of 90 percent LEDs, which results in an 80 percent energy saving compared to conventional light sources. The lowest wattage required is always selected for the application. In addition, the traditional natural ice rinks, which are very popular with the public, were not included. The lighting of the circuit has been reduced to a safety-relevant minimum. We have also optimized our work processes so that it now only takes 30 minutes to set up the lighting installations.
Sustainability
From the catering partners to the wood suppliers for the fire bowls and the employees' means of transport - the majority of all energy-relevant aspects have been optimized in terms of sustainability. This includes transportation with e-golf carts, the use of mulled wine taps with instantaneous water heaters, the largely compostable packaging of the food and the deposit system for glasses and cups with an on-site dishwashing service. Most of the electricity used is green electricity from sustainable energy sources and (with a few exceptions) no generators are used.
