Evangelisches Krankenhaus Mettmann (EVK) GmbH [Evangelical Hospital]
The Evangelisches Krankenhaus Mettmann GmbH (EVK) was founded in 1877 and has been pursuing its long-standing diaconal goals ever since. In 2011, the capacity of the hospital was expanded to a total of approx. 300 beds.
The customised GETEC energy solution
Innovative and sustainable concept from GETEC
The challenge
After the capacity had been ramped up to approx. 300 beds, the energy supply needed to be expanded as well. Apart from the quality for its patients, the institution stressed the importance of innovative and sustainable concepts designed to serve the operation of the hospital. As a long-term energy supplier, GETEC was approached once again and tasked with the implementation of the new heat and electricity concept of the property and its adaptation to the new framework conditions.
The goal
The energy supply was to be expanded while simultaneously generating savings. In addition, a more environmentally friendly basis was to be used for the heat supply, which is partly based on heating oil.
The solution
GETEC built a CHP unit including peripheral equipment and connection for remote monitoring on the premises of the Hospital Mettmann. The nursing school was connected to the central heat supply. Moreover, the old equipment was updated and refurbished extensively, the old heat station including fuel oil supply was dismantled and a low-temperature boiler system was set up. The control engineering of the CHP unit and the boiler systems was integrated into the central building control system and connected to the service control station of GETEC.
