Modernization of Heating, Cooling and Ventilation Systems in three Regional Hospitals of the Malopolskie Voivodship
Air pollution and emission levels in Southeastern Poland are substantially higher than in Western European countries. The Malopolskie Voivodship owns 20 health care facilities located on its territory. The three public hospitals participating in this project are the largest and due to their medical specialisation the most important ones for the region. The main aim of the project is to modernize the central heating, cooling and ventilation systems of the three hospitals, thus reducing air pollution and emission levels.

Background |
Air pollution and emission levels in Southeastern Poland are substantially higher than in Western European countries. While high emission levels and PM10 particle concentration partly result from the industry, the energy consumption of public buildings, particularly hospitals, substantially adds to air pollution. |
Objectives |
The goal of the project is to decrease environmental pollution, and to improve the safety and well-being of patients by the introduction of renewable energy sources and by the modernisation of the heating and cooling systems in three public hospitals in the Małopolskie region. |
Target groups |
The direct beneficiaries of this project are the three hospitals in Krakow and Tarnow treating 80’000 patients per year. Indirect beneficiaries are the inhabitants of the region due to reduced emissions and better air quality. |
