Challenge	The Ondrej Nepela Stadium ice rink in Bratislava, Slovakia, is one of the world’s most modern ice hockey facilities. However, the old Building Management System, installed by SAUTER for Ondrej Nepela, was unable to keep up with the needs of the ice rink. The arena needed a system that could monitor and control the air handling system (HVAC) including fan coils, VAV boxes and a heat exchange station, rink cooling technology, Emax Management System, and skylights. The system also needed to be able to handle nearly 4,000 data points and execute over a hundred defined schedules. Read More
About Customer	The Ondrej Nepela Stadium ice rink in Bratislava, Slovakia, near the edge of the Carpathian mountain range, held the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Ice Hockey World Championship in 2011 and is one of the world’s most modern ice hockey facilities. Nicknamed the “Orange Arena” for its brightly colored staircases, the Ondrej Nepela Stadium is the oldest hockey arena in Slovakia, with a history that stretches back to the 19th century. Located in Slovakia’s capital city, the ice rink lies near the famous Danube River and makes for a scenic and historical locale. The newly retrofitted arena now has a main rink with two training areas and a 9,766 person capacity. Read More
Solution	To make necessary improvements, Ondrej Nepela, with the help of systems integrator Cofely, implemented ICONICS GENESIS32™ HMI/SCADA and AlarmWorX™32 Multimedia software. Using ICONICS software, Ondrej Nepela had an increase in manageability as well as in energy efficiency. With nearly 4,000 data points interfaced, Ondrej Nepela can monitor every facet of the ice rink in real time, knowing that all data and alarms are being recorded historically so that trends can be viewed and analyzed. Using ICONICS ScheduleWorX™32, over a hundred defined schedules are executed. With this introduction came a new vision for the ice rink, as it now includes Fault Detection, Alarming and Central Controlling. Read More Log in to view content
