Greening the roof of the Tawesco press hall will save half the energy costs and significantly reduce CO₂ emissions

The costly investment was necessary. The roof sheathing was at the end of its useful life and the trapezoidal sheets were in a state of disrepair in places. The hall area was leaking, damaging the structure and restricting the flow of production. Fluorescent lighting or sodium lamp fixtures were replaced with energy-saving LED fixtures with automatic control and remote operation. After less than two years of work, the job is complete and Tawesco can now boast a new insulated roof and new lighting. The Energy Savings Project was co-financed by the European Union, which contributed a grant of 33 million crowns.

Benefits of the greening of Tawesco's press hall

Both implementations will ensure significant savings in energy consumption. The replacement of the roof cladding with insulation of the roof area and vertical walls of the roof levels and the replacement of lighting fulfilled the requirements of the energy assessment that formed the basis for the project. This determined a minimum saving of:

Energy consumption 51,89%
CO2 savings 1.109,806 t/year

Description of the work carried out

The Energy Savings Project included the replacement of the complete roofing system of trapezoidal sheeting, gas silicate and concrete composition, which was replaced with a systemic insulating roof panel. The waterproofing layer of asphalt strips was replaced with a roofing membrane. The vertical walls of the roof height changes were insulated with insulation panels. At the same time, the internal rainwater downpipes were partially replaced and a new lightning conductor was installed on the roof. The new roof meets the prescribed fire safety requirements. Lighting fixtures were replaced, including cabling and electrical switchboards, on both floors of the hall. The work was carried out with full production operation.
