The world has known Brno as a city of fairs and exhibitions for more than seven decades. The magnificently designed exhibition center was a masterpiece of functionalist Czechoslovak architecture of the 1920s. The modern era has brought the Brno trade fair business to its greatest heights, because trade fairs are used by the modern economy as an important marketing tool. BVV (Brno Trade Fairs and Exhibitions Company) has no comparable competitor in its own country in terms of the number of international trade fairs, exhibitors, visitors and the size of the exhibition space. Every year there are around 40 trade fairs in the event calendar, half of which are number one in Central and Eastern Europe.
The Brno exhibition center covers a total area of 65 hectares and offers 196,600 square meters of gross exhibition space, of which 107,600 square meters are in the exhibition halls and 89,000 square meters are outside. With its architecture and location, the Brno exhibition center is one of the most beautiful European exhibition sites. In 2000, it was awarded the title of “Building of the Century” for its unique architecture. www.czech-business-services.de
The generous glazing ensures that the halls are flooded with light. However, especially in summer, visitors and exhibitors are unnecessarily burdened by the strong heat. A pleasant visit to the trade fair is hardly possible under such conditions. Since the exhibition halls are monumentally listed buildings, the external view could only be changed insignificantly. Our selective film XH-45 combines high solar rejection and low darkening. The selective properties do not distort the daylight. The exhibited items can be viewed in their natural colors. The relief in summer is enormous, as the G-value of the existing single glazing has been almost halved. All this with almoste no change in the appearance of the buildings.
