GROUP SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2010
KLINIKUM FREISING, FREISING, GERMANY
Klinikum Freising is a teaching hospital at the University of Technology in Freising, north of Munich, in Germany. WSP was the hospital’s energy consultant for the construction of a new canteen kitchen, administration building and radiation therapy centre, as well as the major renovation of Building BA3, with its treatment area and nursing unit.
WSP carried out an energy analysis of the whole site, consisting of 10 buildings. As a result, we identifi ed plenty of potential measures to raise the clinical centre’s energy performance. WSP also reviewed the energy supply contracts and found that it was possible to attract subsidies – without our application for support the hospital would not have been able to realise this investment. The subsidies ( 160,000) allowed the hospital to implement measures to optimise the steam production and distribution, and will reduce the future operating costs by 30,000 per year and the CO2 emissions by 200 tonnes per year.
Measures that were introduced as a result of WSP’s advice included:
• Use of passive solar architecture as well as an optimised building envelope to outperform governmental codes and mandatory thresholds in terms of energy consumption.
• Within the process of determining the technical concept, we considered keeping pipework as short as possible, and measures such as implementing a system that enables monitoring and control during operation.
• Briefi ng building users in energy conservation measures linked to the building operation.
• Use of an advanced automated natural ventilation procedure to pre-cool the building at night, in order to keep room air temperature within an acceptable comfort range during summer,
• Connecting the clinical centre into the municipality district heating system, which is 90% operated by combined heat and power (CHP).
WSP helped the client achieve the Green Building Certifi cation by the European Green Building Programme for the new construction of the canteen kitchen as well as the major renovation of Building BA3.

WSP reviewed the hospitals energy supply contracts and opportunities for subsidies. As a result, the future operational costs are projected to achieve reduced operating costs of
30,000 p.a. and cut CO2 emmissions by 200 tonnes annually.
