The University Hospital of Amiens-Picardie goes low carbon with a project marking a first in France
As part of its energy transition, the University Hospital of Amiens-Picardie is deploying a system supplying both heat and cold. The purpose is to meet some of the needs associated with its 1,705 beds and 32 operating theatres covering an area of over 300,000 m². By opting for a heat chiller pump, the site is able to balance energy performance with environmental and economic considerations, while delivering high levels of service, in partnership with Idex.
Quality and continuity of service as our key objectives
Idex Nord Normandie worked with the university hospital to identify a competitive, low-carbon solution meeting the site's needs. A key preliminary requirement was to secure and guarantee the production of heat and cold. We also had to take account of the exceptional energy context and the need to reduce the hospital’s exposure to volatile natural gas prices. Finally, the hospital wanted to reduce its environmental impact by reducing its greenhouse gas emissions and declassifying its facilities with the DREAL.
The heat chiller pump was the ideal response to these issues. It is efficient, able to deliver high levels of power and to supply heat and cold simultaneously, . The system installed has a heating capacity of 1,500 kW and a cooling capacity 1,000 kW, requiring advanced expertise. Idex was responsible for the design, implementation and operation of the solution. It is also the sole point of contact for the hospital, in order to ensure the project's operational success.
A project harnessing human skills at local level
To bring this project to fruition, Idex worked with around a dozen partners.
Drawing on these combined skills, the heat chiller pump was successfully commissioned more than 18 months after work began.
By opting for this type of system, the University Hospital of Amiens-Picardie also avoids the emission of 1,200 tonnes of CO2 every year, equivalent to the production of 50,000 pairs of jeans or 35,000 mobile phones!
