Description

The Polish Mother's Memorial Hospital - Research Institute in Lodz was opened in 1988. The technologies used in the construction process are outdated, not ecological and uneconomical. This results in high costs of electric and heat energy as well as low thermal comfort for patients and staff. The main objective of the project is to decrease the emission of greenhouse gas and air pollutants and to increase the usage of renewable energy sources in the energy balance sheet. The implementation of the project will increase energy efficiency by the following means: the exchange of windows and doors, the exchange of the internal heating network with heaters and the exchange of the internal lighting system. Patients and staff at the Polish Mother's Memorial Hospital - Research Institute are expected to benefit the most from the Project.

Summary of project results

It has to be emphasized, that The Polish Mother's Memorial Hospital - Research Institute in Lodz was opened in 1988. Before projects implementation, building wasn't ecological and energy efficient. Technologies used in the construction process were outdated, which resulted in high emissions, high costs of electric and heat energy as well as low thermal comfort for patients and staff. Projects implementation was a serious challenge, because the hospital constantly have many patients (also youngest children). The Beneficiary wasn't able to finish all works till 30th of April 2017, thereby projects was finished from Beneficiaries own funds. However, it ended successfully. Thermomodernisational works covered one hospital's building, over 11,9 of m2 of partition were insulated, old windows and doors have been replaced. Modernised was interior installation. Beneficiary has also exchanged internal lighting system. Investment allowed to reduce CO2 emission (5732 Mg/year). Treatment conditions have been significantly improved.
