Renovation of 10 nursing homes old oil boilers by new gas boilers
Madrid, Spain
This initiative was launched by the Regional Government of Madrid to renovate old oil boilers existing in the larger nursing homes existing in the region, and substitute them by new gas boilers with higher energy efficiency and reducing the energy costs. This helped both to the development of more efficient installations and the gas grid around the region. An energy audit was developed to detect the energy consumption, the original situation of the heating systems and the technical possibilities to substitute the boilers and use solar thermal heat. The Regional Government used the budget available from previous energy related measures to start the projects of new boilers installation, prioritizing those with better financing numbers (pay-back and cost savings).
