Saving water and energy, as well as natural lime and corrosion protection, are major topics at the Upper Austrian BAUAkademie with a view to climate protection and CO2 neutrality.
The BAUAkademie OÖ serves as an inter-company training center for the construction industry as a third pillar in the trial BAU apprenticeship training. This approach, which goes beyond the traditional model of vocational school and on-the-job training, makes Austrian skilled worker training an international role model and thus strengthens the reputation of the Austrian construction industry in Europe and the world.
The BAUAkademie OÖ has set itself the goal of becoming CO2 neutral and has already implemented a number of measures such as switching to wood chip heating and installing a photovoltaic system. Another issue, hot water consumption, was tackled this year. The Bauakademie also has a hotel where a total of 115 guests can stay overnight. Daily showers use a lot of hot water and therefore a large amount of energy. To counteract this, the ECOTURBINO® water and energy-saving system was installed in all showers. With the patented "mini turbine", water and energy consumption during showers has been reduced by 36% while maintaining the same level of showering comfort for guests.
In addition, the BAUAkademie also wanted an environmentally friendly alternative for its limescale problem and decided to replace the old chemical systems and install the AQUABION® limescale and corrosion protection system. The system is maintenance-free and works completely without chemicals, salt, magnets or electricity - based on the proven zinc sacrificial anode technology. Zinc ions are released into the water, making the limescale non-sticky. However, the valuable minerals calcium and magnesium are left in the water, thus preserving the good taste of the drinking water. More than 200,000 AQUABION® systems installed throughout Europe testify to the quality of the product.
"We are delighted with the results of the ECOTURBINO® water and energy-saving system and the AQUABION® limescale and corrosion protection from Rabmer. This saves us operating costs and we are delighted that we are one step closer to our goal of becoming CO2 neutral," says Harlad Kopececk, MBA, Managing Director of BAUakademie OÖ.
