Our Green Journey
Claregalway Hotel Environmental Plan
Claregalway Hotel Management and Staff are fully committed to a comprehensive Environmental Policy, which includes effective waste management and responsible practices to reduce electricity, gas and water consumption. At the Claregalway Hotel, we care deeply for the environment, and we are constantly introducing environmentally friendly changes to help play our part in protecting our environment. We have made a number of changes over the years and each time you visit us, we hope you will see others implemented.
We as a team, have decided to embark on our green journey. All our team are currently upskilling in this area and looking forward to seeing changes to our business that will help the environment in a positive way!
Here are some of the actions we have taken to do our part in protecting and sustaining the environment to date:
- We have Lossnay Air Handling Units fitted in both our Waterdale Suite and in Bia&Co. These Lossnay Fresh Air Ventilation Systems work by extracting stale air from inside the building to remove damp odours, dust, bacteria, and gasses
- We have successfully upgraded the BMS(Building Management System) and installed a CHP(Combined Heat & Power) unit. Having smart and energy efficient technology allows not only for efficient energy usage but also energy savings and reduced emissions.
- Replaced all light bulbs in the hotel with LED bulbs
- Ours lights in our bedrooms are operated using room keycards
- Updating the use of small individual bottles for shampoo/conditioner to large bottles
- Use of aerator in Shower Heads
- We have removed the use of plastic packaging on slippers in bedrooms
- We have removed the use of plastic straws
- We have a paperless HR process in place
- Large reduction in accounts and front office department paper systems
