Study visit to the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava
As part of the UKRENERGY project, a representative of the SAEE took part in a study visit to the Slovak University of Technology on June 26-28, 2023. During the visit, the SAEE presented the UA Guidelines in the field of Energy Efficiency in Buildings and an overview of Ukrainian legislation in the field of energy efficiency, and the Slovak side shared the materials of the training course on energy efficiency in buildings: “Energy Audit of Buildings”, “Energy Certification of Buildings”, “Energy Retrofitting of Buildings”, “Nearly Zero Energy Buildings” and a case study on energy modernization of a house.
During the visit, a tour on the green roof of the Mlynské nivy shopping center in the downtown of Bratislava was conducted. The architectural solution combines an underground parking and a bus station, a shopping center (70 thousand m2), food courts and a green roof with a recreation area. The roof of the building has trees, a 550-meter-long jogging track, two training grounds, a barbecue area, benches and recreation areas with the ability to charge mobile devices via USB, a playground, a so-called “urban vegetable garden” and a mini solar power plant with a capacity of 96 kW.
