THE FIRST ECO HOTEL IN THE WORLD TO BE BUILT IN BULGARIA
On January 17 the Bulgarian NGO TIME Foundation presented its project Sustainability Demonstration Techno Centre. The centre will function as a hotel and a conference centre called Hiltop. This makes the eco-centre unique because all similar projects in the world like in the US, Britain, Italy and Holland, function as museums.
The centre will be built in the village of Zdravkovets, near Gabrovo.
A number of 'eco innovations' feature in the building and yard space design. Usage of natural construction materials, renewable energy sources, utilisation of rainwater are among these innovations. Some of them will be used for the first time in Bulgaria.
The project is developed by TIME foundation using funds from Europe Programme 2003 and the support of UN.
Hiltop Hotel will have accommodate 68 people. It has restaurant area, conference and educational centre.
“The Sustainability Demonstration Techno Center of TIME Foundation is a practical expression of the idea to design modern and comfortable buildings, which are healthier for their occupants and respect the environment,” TIME Foundation said.
The construction of the eco centre will cost two million leva or EUR 1.022 million.
The usage of eco innovations raises the construction expenses with 10 to 15 per cent. They pay off for about three years.
Elena Petkova form TIME Foundation said 40 per cent of the sum needed for the project completion is raised.
“We search for support and partners in order to make it possible for the construction to begin this summer”, she said.
