We are delighted that our "ECOTURBINO® - saving water and energy in the shower without sacrificing comfort" project was awarded the prestigious Energy Globe Award Upper Austria 2017 in the water category (ex-aequo with Reprotex water treatment) this week. The coveted prize was accepted this week by our managing partner Ulrike Rabmer-Koller and Rabmer GreenTech authorized signatory Klaus Pichler at the award ceremony at the Holter company in Wels.
The ECOTURBINO® is a small attachment with an integrated, innovative turbine for the shower. This saves around 36% water and energy by adding air and strong turbulence, without having to compromise on showering comfort. In addition, the ECOTURBINO® prevents deposits in the shower hose and shower head, which significantly improves hygiene. The ECOTURBINO® is an Austrian, patented product that is distributed exclusively by Rabmer GreenTech and has recently been awarded the Austrian Ecolabel. Typical areas of application are hotels, private households, student residences, hospitals, healthcare facilities and sports facilities.
The product is certified by TÜV Austria as a suitable energy efficiency measure within the meaning of the Energy Efficiency Act and not only saves costs, but also makes an important contribution to sustainability and environmental protection. This means that the ECOTURBINOs we sold in 2016 alone saved around 340 million liters of water, 13.5 million kWh of energy and 4,360 tons of CO2 every year.
We are very proud of this award, as the Energy Globe Award is one of the world's most prestigious environmental prizes and once again confirms our innovative approach in the field of environmental technologies. The ENERGY GLOBE Award was founded in 1999 by Austrian energy pioneer Wolfgang Neumann and is now the world's most prestigious environmental award. Every year, the Energy Globe Award honors outstanding, sustainable projects with a focus on resource conservation, energy efficiency and the use of renewable energies. The aim of the award is to present innovative and sustainable projects to a broad public, as there are already good, practicable solutions to many of our environmental problems. This raises awareness of these projects and creates a multiplier effect.
