The Pardubice Region is one of the Czech Republic’s smallest regions, but it‘s also the most progressive region in the Czech Republic in terms of achieving energy savings in its buildings. In 2015, it obtained the highest award in the EPC's Best Energy Efficiency Saving Project contest for its active approach. In addition to education and health, it also saves energy in social service facilities and, in particular, in 3 social care institutions:

• Slatiňany Social Welfare Institute
• Domov na rozcestí, Svitavy
• Domov u Studánky, Anenská Studánka, Lanškroun

In one of these institutes the boiler room was completely reconstructed, in the second the heating system was partially done. A computer controlled individual heating system control was installed in every room in all buildings.
