The buildings of Széchenyi István University could become more energy efficient

Significant energy modernisation may begin in the buildings of Széchenyi István University in Győr and Mosonmagyaróvár as part of the KEHOP Plus programme. The aim of the project entitled "Energy renovation of SZE buildings 2025", published under TEDproject, entitled "Energy renovation of SZE buildings 2025", aims to reduce the energy consumption of the university's educational, residential and service facilities, make them more sustainable and provide a more comfortable environment for users. The procedure was initiated on a conditional basis.

The investment affects several locations

The public procurement procedure covers three main locations. The Öveges Kálmán Primary School in Győr, the MÉK College Buildings A and B in Mosonmagyaróvár, and the associated outdoor machine yard will be renovated, In addition, the Albert Kázmér Mosonmagyaróvár Faculty cheese factory warehouse building, garage building and museum building will also be renovated.

The aim of the developments is uniform: to replace outdated structures and systems with modern, energy-efficient solutions.

What does energy renovation mean in practice?

During the investment, the affected buildings will receive facade and floor insulation, their roofs will be renovated, and modern, well-insulated windows and doors will be installed. In addition, the building services systems will also be modernised in several places: heat pump heating solutions, renewable energy sources, and energy-efficient LED lighting and building automation will contribute to economical operation.

Following renovation, individual buildings will achieve significantly better energy ratings, in many cases BB, CC or even A+ categories, which means lower energy consumption and less environmental impact in the long term.

Tangible benefits for maintainers and users

Energy modernisation reduces operating costs, makes the operation of institutions more predictable, and contributes to the university's sustainability goals. Renovated buildings offer better thermal comfort, a more balanced indoor climate and more modern conditions for students, staff and visitors.

The investment not only improves the technical condition of the buildings, but also creates long-term value: it extends the life of the building stock, reduces maintenance requirements and sets an example of how existing buildings can be adapted to today's energy requirements.
