This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
The former fire station of the professional Fire and Rescue Service of the Zlín Region was situated in the already unsuitable premises of the building owned by the town of Holešov together with volunteer firefighters. With its limited capacity and current layout, this building did not allow for the modernization necessary to ensure the ability of professional firefighters to act. Therefore, the need arose to build a new building of the fire station for the background of professional firefighters including a modern workshop, which also serves as a garage for modern firefighting equipment.
The requirements and goals imposed on the new building of the fire station in terms of energy self-sufficiency were:
- to implement an environmentally friendly construction with low energy consumption and using renewable resources
- to create a quality indoor environment for the service of professional firefighters
These requirements have been fulfilled, and within 13 months, the station was built, including the necessary sports facilities and equipment.
The implementation of this project is in accordance with the Energy Action Plan and the Energy Efficiency Financing Plan of the Zlín Region developed by the Energy Agency of the Zlín Region. It is a modern building with low operating costs, built at a lower cost than similar buildings in a low energy standard.

Evidence of success
- the first building of the fire station in the passive standard in the Czech Republic
- the first building of the public sector in the passive standard in the Zlín Region
- non-renewable primary energy only 96 kWh / m2.year
- specific annual heat demand for heating only 11 kWh / m2.year with overall heated floor area 1,138 m2

Potential for learning or transfer
Proper preparation of the project, smooth implementation of public procurement, the use of modern building materials, products and structures, the use of quality and modern technologies as well as renewable resources are features to be followed by any other public administration as well as private investors.
The introduction and implementation of energy management of the building are very important for the proper operation of the building in a passive standard, too.
The public sector can serve as a good practice source for construction in the private sector. Therefore, it is important to show the functional objects in the passive standard on various realized examples. Significant financial support from the OPE subsidy program contributes to the implementation of such necessary projects, helps to raise awareness and thus stimulates interest in passive construction among the general public.
