According to the company's technical unit, Yuri Timofeyev, tests have shown that “Ioprok” thermal conductivity factor is even 15 percent better than other thermal insulation materials: “termowate porous structure naturally regulates the humidity movement between indoor and outside walls, so there will never be an unpleasant humidity and sticky air smell in the building.

THE head of the “Thermeko” Technical Unit also lists the other benefits of “Ioprok”: “vate is ecological and respiratory material, it does not create a favourable environment for rodents, provides good acoustic insulation rates, as well as a fire-resistant material, as the structure limits the spread of fire and does not keep burning.”

The “isoprok” plant is located IN the parish OF Mākoņkalna, a building which has been reconstructed in 2010, while the project financed by the climate change financial instrument in 2014 has been insulated by the own thermal watts. As the representative of the company discovered, a reduction in CO2 emissions by 101,8 tonnes per year resulted in a significant indicator of the effectiveness of Ioprok. In total, over ten objects have been insulated in the last two years with Mākoņkalna parcels, including the nine-storey house in Olaine, the production building of SIA “Riga furniture service”, as well as the Preilu Hospital and the Preil Hospital. In 2014, THE net turnover of SIA Thermeo was less than 598 thousand EURO.

A conference hall, a pool, as well as rooms where up to 30 people can be slept,” says the master.

Active recreational fans are also expected in “lakes”, as visitors are waiting for volleyball and football sites; children's playgrounds, as well as the possibility of renting a boat, catamaran or vindsurfist. The recreational complex also includes a cafe in which holidaymakers can enjoy the delicacy of Latgale culinary heritage.

It is one of the oldest and traditions of the richest tourism businesses in the municipality. The housewife Ligita Harchevsky also works in Rezekne and Viļānu in the tourist information centre of the city of Rēzekne, while on the farm with horses she is assisted by a qualified coach Diana, the family members, daughter of a daughter, are also coming in the event of congestion in the event of congestion.
Coach Diana introduced Sally, who was both a star of horses and a photomodele, looking forward to photographing the bride. It is a horse of the Latvian variety, which can lead to both a 150 kg rider and a half-year-old baby. Sally was also tried by the most courageous members of the Commission – Janis Kuzminsky and Gaigalavas parish management head Voldemar Vabals.
The services offered by z/s “whites” are mainly related to horses, train and visit both children and adults. A requested service is a rating - rehabilitation with a horse. “The horse acts on the human body first with its step rhythm, as it is shown that the horse's step rhythm is identical to the rhythm of human steps. At the level of the subconscious cell, the body's life-important things are moved. We worked with people in wheelchairs, so we've built an estakade so we can build a horse. For young children, the effect of these improvements is very well seen, especially for those who have had any trauma of birth, do not speak, disturb movements, do not hold the head, etc., and then, after 8-10 lessons, you can see an improvement very well. The horse is what instinctively causes the body to function, improve the balance," says Ligita.
A picnic house with a fireplace is built on the farm, where parents can rest while children are training or visiting, and celebrate a variety of festivals. In the summer, an interesting event is watching a stork socket through a camera, a television.
In the summer, the “whites” were chosen by the wedding, but there are often tourist groups in the weekends. “There can be anyone who wants, small, big, and loving, feeding, kissing a horse, and getting new emotions.”
Ligita's dream is to build a manoeuvre so that horses can be trained in the winter season.

The yield is very good – on average between 5000 and 6000 kg per year, but the purchase prices of milk are not pleased. “A year ago, the purchase price of milk was good – a litre of Lithuanian firms got around 0.35 EURO, then we could also afford to pay up to 700 EUROS per month, but the price of milk has now fallen to 0.20 EUR per litre, which is even lower than the cost,“ Karaceyev is revealed. ”If, in previous years, the fact that the farm is a multi-sector and low-grain price was offset by higher prices for milk or vice versa, neither grain production nor livestock farming is paid at this time.“ We'll see how it will be, but unfortunately this year is a loss, ”a businessman says.
