Ecological revolution: district heating in Pinzgau is becoming more efficient!

Wald im Pinzgau, Österreich - A revolutionary project for increasing efficiency in district heating production has started in the Pinzgau region, especially in the Wald heating plant. Due to inefficient mode of operation in older district heating suppliers, the “Retrofit” project is now being implemented in order to optimize the heat supply for households. The biomass heating plant was oversized in summer, which led to a wasteful company, since the large biomass heating boiler was only economically usable in winter. The inefficient company led to unnecessary CO2 emissions and increased fuel costs. As the Orf Salzburg , the produced waste heat of the neighboring hydropower plant is now used to heat up the water, which means that the biomass boiler remains switched off in summer.

In addition, comprehensive changes are carried out in the television work in Saalfelden to work more climate and resource-saving. In order to achieve the required operating temperature inexpensively, prepared heat now flows from a large hot water tank into the heating circuits. The old oil kettle is no longer needed, which further reduces emissions. In cooperation with an energy supplier, an interdisciplinary team of researchers has developed the new improvements that have been tested over three years. According to Markus Matschl, Head of the Renewable Energy Department of Salzburg AG, the knowledge gained should also benefit other biomass heating plants in the region.

attractive leisure opportunities in Pinzgau

The Pinzgau region is not only known for its sustainable energy solutions, but also offers a lot of leisure design options for locals and tourists. In the Wald crystal bath, visitors can swim at a pleasant 30 degrees of water temperature all year round and enjoy the impressive adventure slide. For adventurous people there is the longest toboggan run in the Zillertal, which is illuminated at night - a unique experience! The "chimney" in the front crowd also offers cross -country pleasure with evening lighting, while the Dersperre Durlaßboden invites you to swim in the summer months. As Holidu , such attractions are just a few of many that make the region a popular destination.
