The home of Loki handball players has received roof insulation

Hódos Imre Event Hall has been insulated with a new generation of thermal insulation material made with nanotechnology. Thanks to this, the facility’s heating and cooling costs are expected to decrease by 20-30 percent. The investment was implemented with a budget of HUF 24 million by the operator DVSC Handball Ltd.

The heat is intense on the part of the roof of the Imre Hódos Event Hall, where solar panels are installed. The roof structure of the facility is covered with tar paper insulation, which allows it to heat up easily.

Zsolt Ábrók, Managing Director of DVSC Handball Ltd., which operates the hall, said that year after year, they strive to develop the building with cost-effective and sustainable solutions. “The LED light bulbs have been replaced, we switched from district heating to heat pumps as much as possible, we installed solar panels, and we insulated the hall. We are taking every opportunity to make the maintenance of the hall less expensive,” he pointed out.

In most parts of the building, the tar paper insulation has been covered with a new generation, nanotechnology-based, ceramic-based insulation material. The almost blindingly white material helps to reflect heat, thus optimising the indoor temperature in summer and keeping the cold out in winter. It can reduce the hall’s overhead costs by up to 20-30 percent. “We have to manage taxpayers’ money economically, which means that if we can reduce bills with one such development, then the hall is being operated responsibly in terms of sustainability as well as management,” Deputy Mayor Lajos Barcsa added.

DVSC Handball Ltd. implemented the roof insulation of the Hódos Imre Event Hall using its resources, amounting to HUF 24 million.
