20 years ago, the Municipality of Domžale had a dilapidated sports tent without thermal insulation, ventilation, heating and cooling, without natural light, and with an already dilapidated structure. In accordance with the new regulations on efficient energy use, all sports buildings warming above 13° must have regulated building physics, which dictates the U envelope of 0.15 W/m2K.
With the renovation, we solved all the necessary requirements of today’s time, from thermal insulation or low transmission losses, safety, mechanical resistance, fire protection, noise protection, to the usability of the space for both training and events of various sports, such as basketball, handball, volleyball, and roller skating. With the new façade envelope, the building also got a more city-shaping façade, which, in the evening hours, with the glow of polycarbonate panels and the reflection of light into the surroundings, addresses visitors with a message of what is happening in the hall at the entrance to the city.
