Casa do Desassossego

Direct:

• Contribution to the production of clean energy: the self-consumption solar power plant, solar thermal panels and heat pump will make the compound self-sufficient in energy terms, reverting solely to clean energy. The photovoltaic solar system will produce about 4.9MWh of electricity annually, the equivalent to 1 ton of CO2 or the planting of 45 trees.
• Energy efficiency: the property will be fitted with an air conditioning system that is among the most energy efficient systems on the market, ensuring the lowest possible consumption.
• Job creation: two full-time jobs will be created through a fixed-term contract.

Indirect:

• Local development: improving the competitiveness, positioning and visibility of the Minho Valley Territory, through the maximisation of its endogenous resources, external tourism promotion, and enhancement of its built heritage (historical centers and rural centers) and cultural, as well as fostering local partnerships.
• Promotion of sustainable tourism: the unit addresses sustainability in all dimensions, not only at the energy level, but also in the construction and materials used, in waste management and water management.
