Evangelical Hospital Mettmann (EVK) GmbH

Innovative and sustainable GETEC concept

THE CHALLENGE

After increasing the capacity to approx. 300 beds, the energy supply also had to be expanded. In addition to quality vis-à-vis patients, the facility attached great importance to innovative and sustainable concepts that would serve the hospital's operations. GETEC, as a long-standing energy supplier, was once again called upon and was awarded the contract to implement the new heating and electricity concept for the property and adapt it to the new framework conditions.

THE GOAL

The energy supply was to be expanded and savings generated at the same time. In addition, the heat supply, which was partly based on fuel oil, was to be based on a more environmentally friendly solution.

THE SOLUTION

GETEC built a CHP unit on the grounds of Mettmann Hospital, including peripherals and a connection for remote monitoring. The nursing school was connected to the central heat supply. In addition, the old systems were brought up to the state of the art and comprehensively refurbished. The old heating center including fuel oil supply was dismantled and a low-temperature boiler system was installed. The cogeneration plant and the boiler systems were integrated into the central building control system and connected to the GETEC service control center.
