Sweco planning new eco-friendly annex at University Hospital in
Linköping

Sweco has been awarded a major healthcare contract in collaboration with
L.E.B Consult. Building service systems consultants from the two
companies will be responsible for planning HVAC and plumbing systems in
the new annex to be built at University Hospital in Linköping.

“Sweco has successfully conducted healthcare assignments throughout
Sweden for many years, Our wide-ranging expertise in everything from
building service systems and architecture to structural engineering and
project management is highly sought after in the healthcare sector,
where there are many rebuilding and new construction projects underway
at the moment,” says Eva Nygren, President of Sweco Sweden.

The new annex will house facilities such as patient wards, emergency
care units and clinics for specialist care. The contract covers an area
of approximately 53,000 square metres of new construction, all of which
is subject to stringent energy targets.

“The goal is for energy consumption in the hospital facilities to amount
to less than half of the applicable requirements according to the
Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's regulations.
We are therefore studying solutions for both solar heating and free
cooling,” says Björn Kleist, Team Leader at Sweco in Linköping.

Parallel to the new assignment, Sweco is currently working on the New
Karolinska Hospital and Angered's new local hospital. Sweco is also
participating in a competition for one of Denmark's largest construction
projects, the new University Hospital in Odense.

Sweco will collaborate with L.E.B Consult in planning of the University
Hospital in Linköping. Ten HVAC and plumbing consultants from Sweco and
L.E.B will work on the project full-time for a period of two years.
