Albergo Diffuso is an innovative concept designed to revive small historic Italian communities by converting historic buildings into a virtual hotel village. Points of reference include:

Main Street Properties are managed by owners who also provide hospitality services

Travel Accommodations are derived from converted buildings in historic districts

A Central Reception provides Travel Related Services, including food and communications services.

Communities with Guest and Host Interactions that highlight Local Lifestyles

Local Businesses capable of managing incoming travel services benefit from a centralized marketing and sales program. Resources generated from inbound travel transactions are made available to Museums, Theaters and others on Main Street and in Historic Districts.

Local Projects integrate architecture with digital media and engage visitors through interaction with local citizens. Water resources and energy efficiency projects are also community attractors as domestic and international business and government visitors will come to study, learn and acquire knowledge and expertise in these fields.

Coming to America Destinations Itineraries and Travel Services

As an American who has lived, studied and worked in European and other countries around the world, I feel it is important that visitors to the United States experience a full range of opportunities, from our nation's capital, to the large ethnic cities of the East Coast and Midwest, Southern hospitality, as well as American Diversity, Western and Native Heritage. I am especially interested in showing off our various cuisines, wineries and breweries along with achievements in our communities, ranging from land conservation management, to renewable energy, historic preservation, local public transit initiatives, water resources management and especially America’s unique entrepreneurial spirit.

Energy Audits Conservation Design and LEED Neighborhood Development

Energy Audits inspect and analyze energy usage and flows in a building to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting output. Building technologies and advanced real-time energy smart meters allow business and residential energy users to verify consumption in workplaces and homes. Passive Solar Buildings take advantage of the local climate with window placement and glazing, thermal mass, insulation and shading. Walls, floors and windows are designed and located to collect, store and distribute energy without the use of mechanical and electric devices.

Conservation and efficiency are energy reduction techniques; conservation implies sufficiency and is the key to sustainability as it lowers energy costs by reducing resource depletion.

Smart Location Encourages Transport Alternatives Historic Preservation while Discouraging Sprawl

Urban and Suburban Transport developed with inexpensive fossil fuels. Recent zoning practices range from greater urban density to incorporation of walking and bicycling designs that, coupled with lifestyle changes like telecommuting, help reduce transport energy consumption.

Sustainable Architecture is the Environmental Impact of Buildings and Materials Energy and Space Usage

Environmental Design refers to the applied arts and sciences that deal with the human environment in the fields of architecture, geography, interior design, landscape architecture and urban planning. It also includes interdisciplinary subjects like lighting design and historical preservation.
