The company MIRBAU s.r.o. is the executor of a developer's project for the construction of several apartment buildings in Kroměříž. This company already has experience with the construction and operation of the SportCentrum ZAPLETAL in Kroměříž, the whole of which is heated by Ecofloor electric floor heating via heating cables. As this heating system has proved successful, it has been decided that it will also be used in the planned construction of new apartment buildings in Kroměříž. At present, these are three housing complexes - the apartment building in ul.1. máje (1st May Street), the Building with Terraces, and the Kroměříž - South apartment building.
APARTMENT BUILDING in ul.1.máje, Kroměříž

This apartment building is the first of the above-mentioned projects to be constructed, and as of January 2008, it is basically finished. The building has five floors, and there are 14 apartments in the whole building, 3 non-residential premises for commercial purposes and 8 parking spaces. The whole building is heated solely via electric floor heating from Ecofloor heating cables. This solution provides a highly convenient method of heating, and compared to warm-water floor heating with a central gas boiler room, the acquisition costs are considerably lower.

Another considerable advantage in the use of electric heating in residential buildings is the easy measurement of energy consumption in the individual flats and hence also the objective statement of the cost of energy. Each user is able to check their consumption and influence it as well. If natural gas were to be used as fuel for heating, each flat would have to have a gas boiler installed so that the same effect could be gained. This solution would not only be considerably more expensive but would also cause further technical complications, such as the need to solve the problem of gas distribution, the provision of an intake to convey combustion air to the gas appliances, and also a complicated venting system.

BUILDING WITH TERRACES Kroměříž-South
This apartment building is currently under construction. It will be a five-floor construction composed of three independent buildings - buildings A, B, and C. The south-west face recedes via external ‘stepped' terraces from the 2nd to the 4th floor. The building will be used for residential purposes. On the ground floor, there are individual parking garages with an indoor driveway, and storage rooms for bicycles and cellar boxes. On the other floors, there will be housing units. A total of 37 independent apartments will be created here; all of them will be heated by Ecofloor electric floor heating from Fenix. The completion of the construction is planned for the 11th month of the year 2009.

APARTMENT BUILDING Kroměříž-Jih
The construction of this building is planned for the period between 09/2008 - 11/2010. It will be a six-floor building used only for housing. On the ground floor there will be garages and bicycle storage areas, and on the other floors, a total of 19 housing units will be created. This building will also be completely heated by Ecofloor electric floor heating from Fenix.
