Friedrichstadt: Clinic revolutionizes energy savings for patients!

In the city clinic at the Friedrichstadt location, the energy transition is actively promoted. With innovative measures, those responsible not only improve energy efficiency, but also the comfort for the patients. As reported TAG24, a new evaporation cooling system was installed without artificial cooling agents and the power consumption is significantly reduced.

The focus on sustainability is also shown by the solar energy: in February, solar systems were installed on the roofs of the clinic, which now produce 400,000 kilowatt hours annually - this covers around 4% of the total monthly consumption of the facility. Through these and other measures, the clinic expects savings of around 360,000 kWh per year, which is comparable to the consumption of ten average households.

climate adjustment and modern technologies

In the course of the energetic modernization, existing medical devices are also integrated into the energy balance. From next year, the waste heat of these devices is to be recycled using heat pumps. In addition, an energy-efficient ice storage is used in the clinic to freeze water and prepare for heating and cooling purposes. The situation in retrofitting with air conditioning systems is particularly critically assessed, since both the financial and environmental aspects did not seem wearable.

In the listed middle park of the clinic, innovative approaches to climate adjustment are also included. Here not only rainwater tanks are installed, but also dry -resistant plants are used and seals broken open. These ideas are part of a comprehensive plan to make the location more climate -friendly. The more than 40 electro-auto charging stations on the clinic site also make it clear: here you have a good knack for the future.

improved energy efficiency in hospitals

The municipal clinic is not only with its efforts. Other institutions can also benefit from the experiences and guidelines of the Münch Foundation, which RHOEN Foundation. This guide gives practical tips for increasing energy efficiency in hospitals and addresses the often high energy waste through outdated technologies and building structures that are particularly important in the current situation with increasing energy prices.

The publication not only addresses state subsidies, but also the need to deal with lighting technology and modern pumping technologies more efficiently. Even low-investive measures such as LED lighting or the exchange of old circulation pumps can already promote savings, while larger investments such as the installation of combined heat and power plants or efficient condensing boilers can ensure a sustainable future.

All of these approaches show that the path to more energy efficiency is not only an important step towards climate protection, but also represents an indispensable challenge for the future of hospitals in Germany. With the right measures and technologies, not only costs can be saved, but also the basis for environmentally friendly health care.
