Savings in a University Hospital: A Model of a Successful EPC Project
The St. Anne’s University Hospital in Brno has completely modernized its energy management, which includes 19 buildings. As part of the project, almost 15,000 m2 of facades were insulated and almost 600 windows were replaced. Photovoltaic power plants and new efficient steam sources were installed. Thanks to an investment of almost one billion crowns, the hospital will achieve expected annual savings of 50.7 million crowns. In addition, there will be a minimum annual saving of 11,561 MWh of thermal energy and 1,518 MWh of electrical energy. The case study will present this most comprehensive Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) Project with guaranteed results in the Czech Republic to date. Financing was provided by the Komerční banka Group and other entities, and a subsidy from the State Environmental Fund was also used. The Association of Energy Service Providers declared the project the best EPC project in 2024.
The expert discussion after the presentation will be led by Doc. Ing. Antonín Lupíšek, Ph.D., director for research and innovation at the University Center for Energy-Efficient Buildings, Czech Technical University in Prague.
