How Much Energy Do You Waste Without Noticing? - The case of Vítkovice Arena

Vítkovice Arena

For our client VÍTKOVICE ARÉNA a.s., owner and operator of sports and multifunctional centers in Ostrava, we worked with Erik Odvářka, Digiplant on the project to carry out a comprehensive diagnosis, which included:

- A detailed energy audit of all key buildings, including the Ostravar Arena, Athletics Hall, Multifunctional Hall, Municipal Stadium, Bazaly Complex, and PULS Hotel

- Determination of actual consumption, not only of energy (electricity, heat, fuel, etc.), in the context of technologies and operating modes

- Calculation of the carbon footprint according to the GHG Protocol (Scope 1 & 2) for accurate identification of the largest emitters, broken down by individual buildings

- Identification of the largest losses, inefficiencies, and hidden costs

- Proposal of specific technical and operational measures, including photovoltaics, digitization of energy flow management (EnMS), optimization of ventilation and cooling, modernization of lighting, and other measures

- Creation of a roadmap for a continuous emission reduction plan based on prioritization according to investment intensity, return on investment, and CO₂ reduction

Thanks to comprehensive data analysis, we were able to propose measures that have:

- The potential to save over CZK 11 million per year in energy costs

- A reduction in emissions of more than 1,000 tons of CO₂ per year

- Set up a system for digital energy flow management with regard to the need for data for sustainability and CO₂ reporting

By combining experience, CODIS methodology, technical data, emissions calculations, and proposed measures, we have created a tool that has an immediate operational and strategic impact.

This is exactly what a modern approach to sustainability looks like, one that makes sense not only environmentally but also economically, helping companies save money and grow.
