The new ELCO system meets these requirements. Two AQUATOP T30 heat pumps with a heat output of 30.6 kW each and a COP value of 4.5 offer the highest degree of heating comfort and the supply of hot water – over the entire year. Given the fact that tem- peratures at Gotthard Pass hardly ever exceed 15°C, even in the summer, the need for heating is permanent. AQUATOP T heat pumps harness the energy stored in the ground and use this to generate thermal heat. Given the fact that neither ground- nor surface-water is available, the energy stored in the ground can be used either through an earth-tube collector – a horizontal tube system – or through ground-source heat probes driven vertically into the earth, as is the case with this system. In both cases the heat energy is carried over via the brine which circulates in the tubes/probes. Renovation: Ospizio Vecchio (old hospice), St. Gotthard A heating system to meet the highest demands The hospice (originally a hostel for travellers) was first men- tioned around 1237. Unfortunately it was increasingly aban- doned in recent decades due to decay and could no longer be used as accommodation for guests. In order to preserve this unique, historical building, it had to be completely rebuilt and renovated over the course of three years. The foundation walls were the only parts of the old building that were kept. Today the new “Ospizio Vecchio” will be presented as a comfortable 3-star hotel – with a ultra-modern heating system.

Moreover, AQUATOP T heat pumps help to preserve the environment, since they pro- duce no CO2 emissions. Another benefit: The energy stored in the ground and water is constantly renewed by the sun and will also be available to future generations.
