Grant from the EU operational program (2017-2018)
Project: Energy savings in the premises of the company CHODOS CHODOV s.r.o.
Project number: CZ.01.3.10/0.0/0.0/16_061/0010978

In the time period from June 2, 2017 until June 30, 2018, CHODOS CHODOV s.r.o. realized a project support by the European Union. It concerns the program "Energy savings - Call II", which is targeted on reduction of energy performance. Within this project, we managed to carry out gas installation of the facility with its own gas regulation station, replacement of the current heating system into gas radiators, equipping of local gas furnace rooms, roof insulation, exchange of light wells, windows, doors, gates and façade insulation. In addition, we realized modernization and energetic optimization of nitriding and shaft furnace, exchanged lights for LED – outdoor lighting of the premises as well as interiors, purchased welding aggregates.
All these adjustments will significantly contribute to reduction of direct energetic expenses and also enhance working comfort. The total amount of grant makes 39.791.855,20 CZK.
