our environmental actions

A long-term commitment

Preserving the environment and energy resources is a major issue in our contemporary society. By investing in specific facilities, “Le Gentleman” wants to be exemplary in its policy of reducing the carbon impact, while guaranteeing the best quality of service.

Water

  • We use flow reducers on the shower heads.
  • We have ensured the thermal insulation of networks and ducts.
  • We use the washing machine fully, and favor short cycles.
  • We wash the toilets with very little water, using microfibers.

Electricity

  • We use low consumption light bulbs.
  • We use presence detectors in places frequented intermittently: common areas and parking.
  • We ensure regular maintenance of our devices, to avoid overconsumption due to clogging.
  • We have ruled out air conditioning, because the ecological cost is disproportionate, for a use of a few days a year.

Heater

  • We have installed double glazing in all bedrooms.
  • We insulated most of the walls and ceilings.
    Our centralized heating has an intuitive system: each radiator stops as soon as the target temperature is reached.
    In the bedrooms you can increase the heating by a few degrees.
  • We optimize our occupancy, so as not to overheat.

Ecological and responsible approach

  • We have found some of our furniture. For the rest, we have favored French and even European manufacturers.
  • We favor local products: (honey, organic jams, organic apple juice, dairy products, beer).
  • We respect the natural rhythms: each season its products.
  • We choose foodstuffs packaged without unnecessary packaging: no sachet sugar, mini jams, etc.
    Our cleaning products are ecological and / or non-aggressive. We dose them to a minimum.
