Budapest, April 14, 2025
Hit Gyülekezete is pleased to announce its participation in the REHOUSE project, which aims to enhance building energy efficiency and implement environmentally friendly solutions – necessity already proven by the extreme weather conditions experienced last summer. As part of the project, the insulation of the dormitory building at Hit Gyülekezete’s Budapest headquarters will be upgraded using modern, sustainable technologies, contributing to the counter global warming.
Additionally, the Hit Gyülekezete will host a research-and-development (R&D) project in European collaboration. At the first on-site conference, partially cellulose-based insulation and smart window solutions ensuring intelligent ventilation were presented. These innovations not only aim for more efficient operation but also intend to raise environmental awareness among the young university students residing in the building.
The REHOUSE project, co-funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe program, offers innovative solutions to improve building energy efficiency and integrate renewable energy sources. The primary goal of the project is to enhance the efficiency of the renovation process and reduce building energy consumption while improving the comfort and satisfaction of the residents. The Hungarian site aims to demonstrate to the private sector that the energy efficiency of outdated buildings can be significantly improved through investments.
The accelerating climate change, the more frequent weather extremes and the economic disruptions are making the project increasingly justified and necessary. “Hit Gyülekezete is committed to environmental protection and sustainability. Modernizing the insulation of our buildings not only reduces our energy consumption but also contributes to the fight climate change,” said László Petrőcz, representative for Hit Gyülekezete. In the project, the congregation’s building will be equipped with technologies such as dynamic building envelopes and centralized smart window systems, which significantly reduce energy consumption and increase the proportion of renewable energy sources.
