One of the great challenges of the management of Barcelona holiday apartments is to make guests feel at home without neglecting environmental factors like energy efficiency and the careful use of resources. With an eye on sustainability, at Lodging Management we implement several strategies that contribute to the preservation of a clean and welcoming environment for all. Our aim is clear: to provide extraordinary stays to tenants and improve our owners’ experience with measures that allow them to save on their bills. In our goal to contribute positively to the economic and tourism development of Barcelona, today we share some of the environmental initiatives in place and under development at Lodging Management.
Reuse and recycle in renovations: a win-win for everyone
Many of the apartments that are part of our portfolio need some changes or renovations to be presented to the market in optimal conditions and quickly get bookings. During this makeover process, we make the most of the materials already in the homes to reduce waste generation and promote reuse and recycling. Our guiding principle in the management of Barcelona holiday apartments is to recover everything that can be useful in our restyling work, minimizing environmental impact and avoiding unnecessary expenses in the purchase of new materials.
In addition, when we propose a renovation, we put special emphasis on thermal insulation to ensure a comfortable stay without resorting continuously to heating or air conditioning.
Home automation at the service of the owner
At Lodging Management we promote the installation of home automation systems that favor energy savings because they automatically turn off lights and air conditioning when the property is empty. In addition, they help avoid incidents because they can detect water leaks or anomalies in electrical systems before they become a problem. We also support initiatives such as the installation of solar panels to supply electricity and hot water, whenever possible.
Strategic alliances
At Lodging Management we believe that companies that share environmental values can come together to achieve even higher impact. Good examples of this are the agreement we’ve signed with Kleta bicycle rental for our employees and guests, which promotes far more sustainable mobility, and the balancing of our CO2 emissions by planting trees in tropical forests through the Tree-Nation platform. The amenities that guests find in their welcome pack come from local companies that work under social sustainability criteria.
Sustainability as a roadmap
Lodging Management holds a Biosphere Committed certificate from the Responsible Tourism Institute, which endorses its efforts to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.
Convinced that the management of Barcelona holiday apartments can and must be compatible with the protection of our environment, at Lodging Management we continue to generate ideas to promote sustainable spaces and vacations for our guests.
