Summary
The large campus of the Medical University of Vienna, which is currently under construction, is getting cool: In order to make the conditions in the complex on Mariannengasse bearable even on hot days, a dedicated district cooling center is being built on the site. The aim is to lower the temperatures over an area of more than 35,000 square meters. The cooling output that is not required on campus flows into Wien Energie’s district cooling network. This will be gradually expanded.
The MedUni campus is being built in the immediate vicinity of the university and the general hospital in Vienna-Alsergrund. It is being built by the Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft and MedUni. Cooperation partner in terms of cooling is Wien Energie – which is returning to a historic location, so to speak. Because the property in Mariannengasse was once home to the Wien Strom headquarters.
