Energy rehabilitation of the Celje General Hospital

The good 30-year-old building has become increasingly energy-intensive due to its old insulation and furniture. The operation contributed to the specific objective "Increasing energy efficiency in the public sector" under the priority investment "Promoting energy efficiency, smart energy management and the use of renewable energy sources in public infrastructure, including public buildings, and the housing sector".
As part of the project, which took place during the COVID-19 epidemic, the façade and roof were completely renovated and thermally protected, windows and doors were replaced, and software for energy monitoring was upgraded.
With the implemented investment, its basic purpose has been achieved, which is to increase the energy efficiency of the building, ensure security of energy supply, reduce negative impacts on the environment and improve living comfort for patients and employees. With energy rehabilitation, the building follows the guidelines of energy efficiency of buildings and good management of public goods. As the comprehensive energy renovation has improved both the functional and energy properties of the building at the Celje General Hospital, many positive effects are expected. In the field of energy, it is estimated that the renovation will bring annual energy savings of 1,203 MWh, and CO2 emissions are expected to be reduced by approximately 385.4 tons per year. Due to the renovation, the costs of annual maintenance of the building will also be reduced.
