Thermal Modernization of the Primary School and Commune Kindergarten in Pszczółki

The Commune of Pszczółki has completed a significant energy efficiency project for educational buildings, enhancing both energy performance and user comfort. The investment, which involved the Primary School named after the Heroes of the Gdańsk Land and the Commune Kindergarten, has brought benefits to both the environment and the municipality’s budget.
Scope of Work Completed:
– Reconstruction of the lightning protection system on the Kindergarten’s roof, ensuring a higher level of safety for the building and its users.
– Construction of geothermal heat exchangers as a lower heat source for the heat pump, with a total length of 900 meters (9 probes of 100 meters each), which are a key element of the modern heating system utilizing ground energy.
– Insulation of the Kindergarten’s roof with mineral wool granules and a layer of thermal roofing felt on an area of 413 m², reducing heat loss and improving thermal insulation.
– Installation of a photovoltaic system with a capacity of 24.2 kWp on the Kindergarten’s roof, generating electricity from renewable sources, reducing operational costs, and lowering CO₂ emissions.
– Construction of an internal gas installation and modernization of the gas point at the Primary School, contributing to increased safety and optimization of heating costs.
– Modernization of the electrical system and increase in the connection power at the Primary School, allowing the building to better meet the energy requirements of modern systems.
– Decommissioning of the existing coal boiler room, including the adaptation of the boiler room space, replacement of windows and doors, marking a significant step toward more eco-friendly heating solutions.
– Reconstruction of the central heating system at the Primary School and installation of a modern cascade of gas boilers with a rated capacity of 600 kW, along with hot water storage tanks and an automation system, improving heating efficiency and control.

The completion of these works has significantly improved the energy efficiency of the educational buildings, providing a more sustainable environment for learning and working. Thanks to the use of heat pumps, photovoltaic systems, and more efficient heating and insulation systems, the buildings have become more cost-effective to maintain, with a substantial reduction in CO₂ emissions. The Commune of Pszczółki is now an example of modern public building management with a focus on future generations and sustainable development.
