Primaryenergy and gas consumption reduction
With the opening of a new trigeneration plant, the St Orsola - Malpighi Polyclinic has reached a new milestone in the process of structural, technological and organisational renewal. This was achieved by actions including the creation of a surgical and emergency department and a cardio-thoraco-vascular department. The construction of a new technology centre has led to a reduction in primary energy consumption of 27 per cent and a reduction of 30 per cent in gas emissions.
The polyclinic complex.
The work was carried out using an economic and financial plan (EFP), which repays the investment through energy savings over the lifetime of the concession. To finance the design, construction and management of the power stations, technological systems, activities and services, project bonds were used for the first time in Italy in conjunction with the European Energy Efficiency Fund (EEEF). The EEEF was set up to finance energy
efficiency projects that could lead to a 20 per cent reduction in CO2
and 20 per
cent primary energy savings compared to baseline. The results are constantly monitored to ensure a real improvement in climatic conditions and the maintenance of efficiency levels over time. According to the European Commission: “This operation represents a point of reference for the whole energy efficiency area in Italy and in Europe, demonstrating the positive impact of an

important investment in energy efficiency on a hospital, whilst obtaining an improvement in the service for citizens.” The university hospital is one of the
oldest and most important hospitals in northern Italy, as well as being a national and international reference centre for various diseases. The polyclinic is located on the edge of the historical centre of the city; it covers an area of about 1.8 km x 300 m and includes 30 pavilions (1510 beds, nine integrated activity departments (IAD) and 87 operating units), which treat more than 20,000 inpatients every day (over 74,000 admissions per year) and outpatients (about 3,890,000 medical services per year) as well as staff, visitors, students and university professors. The total gross area is about 383,600 m2
.
The work was carried out by Progetto ISOM, a specialist company composed of Manutencoop Facility Management SpA, Siram SpA, Sinloc SpA and Iter Soc Coop; Manutencoop FM and Siram also assumed the roles of engineering procurement and construction, operations and
