Pabellón Lituania. Expo 2008

The Lithuanian Pavilion was known as 'The House of Rain', as its main attraction was a hydraulic installation simulating rain inside the pavilion.

The pavilion covered an area of 685 m2, distributed over two levels:

On Level 1, there were the bar, the shop, the exhibition area with the main attraction 'Living Rain,' and other interactive attractions, as well as spaces designated for the kitchen, changing rooms, workers' dining area, restrooms, and technical rooms.

On Level 2, the Vyp Zone of the Pavilion featured a meeting room, a terrace, a kitchenette, and restrooms.

The developed facilities included the following:

Hydraulic Installation:

The most complex hydraulic installation of the pavilion was designed: 'Living Rain.' The conceptual idea was to achieve the effect of rain inside the pavilion.

Air Conditioning System:

It was a complex installation due to the high humidity generated in the pavilion due to constant indoor rain. Thermal energy production was centralized and owned by Expoagua, providing service to the pavilion through a plate heat exchanger and thermal energy meter. Secondary water circuits were established for the distribution of energy to terminal devices at variable flow and constant temperature to achieve maximum energy efficiency.

Electrical Installation:

It had two power sources, grid and a backup generator. A total of 105 kW were contracted, with the main consumption points being the kitchen, bar, projectors, air conditioning system, and the pavilion's pressure group. Lighting was carefully designed for the desired effects in the pavilion. Perimeter LEDs were installed in areas where the three rain curtains fell.

Fire Protection System:

It featured a fire hose installation (BIES), detection system, emergency lighting, and fire extinguishers.
