Pilot Action in the Municipality of Tolna

From top to bottom: Lovarda Cultural Centre, Town Hall, Sports Hall

The pilot action to improve energy efficiency is implemented in 3 buildings: Town Hall with an area of 1 922 m2, ‘Lovarda’ Cultural Center and Library of Tolna with an area of 1 959 m2, volume of 10 000 m3 and Sport Center with an area of 2 050 m2, volume of 15 500 m3.
