The project that will result in improved conditions for patients of the University Medical Centre Ljubljana focuses on implementing an integrated energy-saving renovation of two buildings of the University Medical Centre, located on the Zaloška cesta 9 Street in Ljubljana, namely the main building (hospital) as well as the old part of the building for diagnostic and therapeutic services. The energy-saving renovation will cover thermal insulation of the façade, flat roof and the floors of the unheated attic. The investment will also result in modernising the system for heating, cooling, ventilation and air conditioning, in modernising the lighting and replacing joinery. Lifts will be upgraded with frequency electric motors and a central control system, with organisational measures also being set up. 74,894.15 square metres of net floor area will also be renovated.
