Ogres Central Library is not only a center of culture and education but also a symbol of a modern public building designed with special care for the environment and energy efficiency. This two-story building, located at 35 Brīvības Street, was constructed following passive house principles, ensuring minimal resource consumption and sustainable operation. It is one of the public buildings in Latvia that combines modern technological solutions with environmental protection goals, becoming an example for future constructions.
Innovative Technologies in a Public Building
To ensure high energy efficiency and user comfort, several smart and sustainable engineering solutions have been implemented at Ogres Central Library:
These solutions demonstrate how a public building can become a technologically advanced and environmentally friendly space, where innovations serve the benefit of society.
- Smart Lighting – The lighting system automatically adjusts based on room usage and time of day, saving energy without compromising visual comfort.
- Ventilation with Heat Recovery – Efficient air exchange that preserves indoor heat reduces heating needs and improves air quality.
- Solar Panels on the Roof – The library generates part of its electricity itself, reducing dependence on external resources and promoting sustainability.
