Gebouwenautomatisering in de gezondheidszorg

Door een voorschrift van de Turkse regering betreffende de financiële ondersteuning van de structuurzwakke regio in het oosten van het land nabij de grens met Syrië ontstond in 2012 het ziekenhuis Viransehir Devlet Hastanesi.

Het uit vijf verdiepingen bestaande ziekenhuis beslaat een oppervlak van 35.700 m² en biedt 200 bedden voor patiënten. De modernste automatiseringstechniek van DEOS AG regelt alle parameters uit de bereiken koelen, verwarmen, airconditioning en OP-bedrijf.

The university clinic of Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) is one of the most modern clinics in Europe. More than 10,000 specialised staff in many different specialties find ideal conditions for the medical, research and teaching sectors. With around 1,500 beds, the UKE is one of the largest hospitals in Hamburg.

DKV Deutsche Krankenversicherung was founded in Berlin in 1927 and moved its head office to Cologne in 1954. DKV is one of the greatest private health insurances in Europe in the meantime and belongs to the ERGO Insurance Group since 1998.

Between 2008 and 2014, the headquarters, built in 1969, was completely restructured; as a result the HVAC systems, the pipes as well as the electrical and control technology have been renewed. DEOS Gebäudeautomation GmbH has managed the project during this period and equipped it with DEOS solutions. OPENbalance (today: OPENdynamics) ensures a comfortable room climate on all floors of the 20-floor building while reducing energy consumption. Also, OPENenergy helps to recognize and reduce energy costs. Furthermore, OPENweb regulates and controls the building management.

In a large-scale project, DEOS Gebäudeautomation GmbH renewed the building technology of ERGO Lebensversicherung AG, a subsidiary of the ERGO Group in Hamburg. The entire DDC (Direct Digital Control) technology was replaced in the administrative headquarters (HV) 1 and 2 as well as an energy optimisation system for the ventilation systems installed.

Due to the positive experiences from the reconstruction of HV2, the systems of HV1 were also equipped with DEOS technology. In addition, it was possible to comply with the requirements accordingly so that the office routine was not interrupted because the intermediate floors did not need to be replaced despite the energy optimisation system.

In accordance with the principle of open communication, the native BACnet controllers of the OPEN EMS series support the BACnet protocol and, thus, can communicate with other BACnet devices over the Ethernet network.

After the modernisation measures, the measurements of the new building technology have shown that it was possible to reduce the air volume flows of 1,800,000 m³/h to 800,000 m³/h. In addition, ERGO Lebensversicherung AG is able to save around 1 million Euro annually in energy costs through the new air-conditioning technology.
