Rebuilding the emergency lighting system in the main Faculty building.
In the past years, more than CZK 1 million was spent in connection with emergency lighting repairs, but the system was not fully functional after all repairs. That is why we have made an overall analysis of the current emergency lighting system. Its output was a comprehensive, clear document, describing the current state of the system and proposing different ways of solution (repair of the existing system, partial renewal of the system, complete exchange with a new system, etc.). Based on the overall analysis, we decided to completely restore the system. The system is currently being restored and is fully operational and operational.
