Renovations in the Reka holiday village Montfaucon
Schweizer Reisekasse Genossenschaft (Reka)

In 2019, the windows of the previously unrenovated bungalows in the Reka holiday village of Montfaucon were replaced. The windows on the ground floor of the community centre were completely renovated and the façade of the entire building was insulated. The new windows have insulated glazing in accordance with current standards. The indoor pool was also renovated: the pool technology (water treatment, ventilation system, water basin), the cloakrooms and showers, the floor, walls and ceiling were remodelled. As well as increasing comfort and safety, this also reduces heat loss. The intended energy savings amount to around 20%.
