Is there anything that you would like to highlight, add or clarify? we are so eco-friendly that we don't even accommodate air conditioning, we use air-cooling which is a more eco-friendly way to cool or heat the rooms.
Also the whole Scandic company is engaged in the environmental choir and is a big supporter of The Nordic Swan initiative.
An energy audit is not necessary at the monument hence we just opened 5 moths ago in a brand new renovated hotel.
