All of TechnoAlpin's main buildings are connected to the city of Bolzano's district heating network, which is fed by the local waste recycling plant. The main buildings were built according to the highest energy standards to compensate for the significant temperature differences between summer and winter. The buildings on Via Werner von Siemens and Via Agostini also have green roofs, which have a positive effect on the thermal insulation of the building.
A major investment for the company was installing two solar panel systems on the roofs of the main buildings on Via Agostini and Via Siemens, with capacities of 192 kW and 198 kW, respectively. In 2022, around a quarter of the required energy was generated by the solar panel systems.
LED lighting was used from the outset at the new production site on Via Siemens to keep energy consumption low. In the spring of 2022, in the building on Via Agostini, the previous neon and halogen lighting was replaced with LED lighting in the large-scale storage and servicing facilities as well as the garage. This, therefore, reduced the amount of electricity required for lighting from 80 kWh to 35 kWh, resulting in an annual savings of around 117,000 kWh.
