The project aims at introducing innovative energy efficient design solutions into the 13 years old hospital. With the modern innovative designs and techniques that have been developed since the hospital was build, both the energy demand and the CO2 emissions may be reduced substantially. For space heating, this means a heating demand lower than the demand of a standard hospital constructed in a ccordance with the Danish building code. The innovative part involves building integrated solar energy, double skin facades, solar collectors for domestic hot water, effective heating supply system, use of hybrid ventilation in selected common and therapy areas, convectors for comfort heating in areas with natural ventilation, and a computerised Building Management System (BMS). The total energy demand for space heating and ventilation is expected to be reduced by 2 700 MWh/year and the electricity demand is expected to be reduced by 200 MWh/year compared to a building constructed in accordance with the Danish building code.

Based on innovative energy technologies this health care building will reduce the energy demands and improve the indoor climate for both patients and employees ensuring higher efficiency of the employees and faster recovery of the patients. The main innovative elements in this project include improvement of insulation levels of the envelope, double skin facades with integrated solar shading and hybrid ventilation with pre-heating of inlet air. Also a multifunctional PV-system integrated in glass the roofs, transparent insulation improving the use of daylight and thermal comfort conditions, low-emission and low-adsorption building materials are innovative elements. The expected savings are 41% for heating and 57% for electricity.

The project aims at decreasing the energy demand significantly by using new innovative elements and techniques such as double skin facades, energy efficient partly natural ventilation systems, roof lights, light ducts and environmentally friendly surface paints. This will result in a reduction of the peak electricity demand, as well as obtaining considerable improvements of the comfort conditions and of the indoor climate. The demonstration project seeks to set new design standards using new innovative approaches and strategies. A reduction of the total energy demand by more than 60% is expected.

The aim of this project is to achieve a significant decrease of the energy demand for space heating and ventilation and to obtain a considerable improvement of comfort and indoor climate conditions, through the application of energy efficient measures. The project shall reduce the heating demand, the amount of maintenance and the use of water as well as improve the working conditions for the employees by applying appropriate and strategic low energy and sustainable techniques in the building. This will include new room temperature controls, modern heaters, optimised ducting,advanced valves, fan assisted natural ventilation, new high performance windows and a significant increase of the insulation of the building envelope. The expected result is a reduction of the heating demand by 30%.

This project comprises the design and construction of a new hospital building based on an integrated energy concept. The aim is to build a modern and highly energy efficient hospital with an attractive indoor climate and hereby creating the best possible comfort issues for the patients and personnel. The innovative elements in the project are the integration of an advanced combined HVAC system, buffering of heat and/or cold water in the underground, Combined Heat & Power System for the production of hot water, a scheduled energy system and an improved utilisation of daylight. The expected result is a reduction of the energy demand by 45%.
