The Pinecone Mark shows the way to holiday homes with a focus on energy

The Pinecone Mark – Focus on Energy is an initiative that sets the standard for the requirements a holiday home must meet to deserve a Pinecone Mark. The mark functions as a quality seal: When a holiday home meets the requirements, it is allowed to display the logo for The Pinecone Mark – Focus on Energy, thereby signaling to potential renters that energy consumption has been carefully considered in that home.

Sustainability and energy efficiency are very important – even when it comes to renting a holiday home. And all indications point to the fact that this will become even more significant in the future. For many guests, it is important that they can see in advance how energy-efficient the holiday home they are considering is.

The Pinecone Mark – Focus on Energy has been in development for several years. Behind the mark is the Association of Holiday Home Letting. The preparatory work has been thorough and meticulous, but now the system is in place and the first holiday homes have received their marks.

The pinecone comes in three versions

The Pinecone Mark – Focus on Energy is available in three variants, where the requirements build upon each other:

Bronze Pinecone – Focus on Energy: A really good mark that covers up to 90% of the sources of energy consumption in the holiday home, such as heating, water heater, and major appliances.

Dedicated website with all the answers

One unique aspect of The Pinecone Mark – Focus on Energy is that it is a joint effort within the industry. Both large and small players are united behind the mark through the Association of Holiday Home Letting. At Sol og Strand, we fully support the initiative and encourage all holiday home owners to visit the website www.koglemærket.dk. and participate.

On the website, you will find all the details about the three versions and instructions on what to do if you want to know whether your holiday home meets the requirements for the mark.

As a homeowner, you can participate either by getting ideas on how to improve your holiday home’s energy efficiency or by directly applying for the mark if your holiday home already meets the requirements.

The industry of holiday home letting has set an ambitious goal that as many holiday homes as possible should become energy efficient in the coming years so that holiday home letting can contribute to the green transition in tourism.
