en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Salamanca City Council has launched a tender for energy efficiency improvements and thermal comfort renovations at the municipal Torrente Ballester Library (Biblioteca Municipal Torrente Ballester). The library serves over 186,000 users annually and hosts more than 500 cultural events. The project will involve spaces such as reading rooms and lending areas, aiming to improve usage conditions and reduce energy consumption.
This project is part of the "CoNEcta Salamanca Integrated Action Plan," which covers neighborhoods including Garrido Norte and Sur, Chinchibarra, Estación, and Salesas, and is implemented through the Salamanca Local Integrated Development Strategy (EDIL) via the Urban Agenda. The plan is co-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER), under the FEDER Multi-Regional Operational Program, with a total budget of €15,227,851, of which 60% comes from FEDER, with specific funds allocated to support sustainable urban development and economic, social, and territorial cohesion.
The main tender involves energy-efficient roof renovation and waterproofing, with a base budget of €880,641.55 and an estimated construction period of 8 months. The work includes a complete renovation of the top floor and first-floor roofs to improve the building's thermal and acoustic insulation. Additionally, damaged vinyl flooring areas in the main reading room will be repaired to enhance accessibility and reduce the risk of tripping or falling. The library building, inaugurated in 1999, will also see this flooring improvement considered as an intervention related to the building's air conditioning performance.
Complementing the roof work is a separate tender for replacing the air conditioning system, with a base budget of €200,619.8 and a construction period of 2 months. The new air conditioning control system will feature remote management capabilities, allowing parameter and program adjustments via the internet, including adapting schedules for different heating circuits, managing circuit setpoints and inertia tanks, and remotely modifying equipment programming. The system will also facilitate handling potential faults and querying historical data from indoor sensors. The Salamanca City Council plans to use this information to adjust operating parameters, improving energy efficiency, reducing consumption, and lowering pollution associated with building use. The deadline for submitting bids is June 23 at 23:59.
