Works of thermal insulation of clinical municipal hospital for children No 1 to be finished till end of next summer

Chisinau, 15 May /MOLDPRES/ - The works of thermal insulation and setting of solar panels at the Chisinau-based Municipal Clinical Children’s Hospital No 1 will be finished till 31 August 2019. The acting general mayor of the Moldovan capital, Ruslan Codreanu, went on the spot to see how the works are carried out.   

The project provides for the thermal insulation of the façade, roof, as well as the setting of solar panels for preparing domestic warm water. It is financed from the energy efficiency fund with five million lei. Also, the Chisinau city hall earmarked 1.6 million lei, used for replacing the woodwork and works of basement’s insulation are presently carried out.     

The acting general mayor, Ruslan Codreanu, noted that, following the thermal insulation and setting of solar panels, the children’s hospital will register savings for maintenance. As a result, the financial sources allocated will be used for the institution’s development inside and namely for the procurement of advanced equipment, especially as the hospital is for small children. “Till 31 August, the Municipal Hospital for Children No 1 will be the first medical institution from Moldova to be fully thermally insulated: roof, basement, façade, thermal points and endowed with solar panels,” Codreanu added.  

The director of the hospital, Stefan Calancea, said that the building of the medical institution had been made available for use in 1972. The walls are made of concrete and so it is pretty cold in winter and the costs for the thermal energy were quite high. “Now, after the completion of the thermal insulation works, including the ones for the roof, we will have substantial saving for heating,” Stefan Calancea also said.   

The solar batteries, due to provide the making of the domestic hot water, will offer 70 per cent efficiency in summer and 30 per cent in winter and the investments will be recovered in 4-5 years.  

The Children’s Hospital No 1 will have 100 beds, with about 7,000 small children (aged from one month to three years) treated here annually.   

In one month, works of thermal insulation for another three buildings will start in the Moldovan capital: at the Vasile Lupu theoretical lyceum, Kindergarten No 112 and the Public Health Municipal Enterprise Maternity Hospital No 1, under a joint project of the city hall with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
