The oldest university in our country is looking for a contractor for a huge project

According to the announcement published in the EU Public Procurement Bulletin (TED) announcement published in the EU public procurement bulletin (TED), ELTE could reduce its annual energy consumption by 8,875,000 kWh in the buildings in Trefort Garden with this investment. (The average Hungarian household consumes approximately 2,265 kWh of electricity per year.)
The university would finance this huge development partly or entirely from EU funds. Thus, the call for tenders was published as a conditional public procurement notice, and its implementation depends on the assessment of the institution's submitted grant applications.

During the works, the operation of the Campus must be ensured

The contract notice also states that the winning bidders must carry out the works in such a way that the entire campus is in normal operation during the works. The successful tenderer will be required to carry out the project in operational or semi-operational buildings, with phased provision of workspace.

The project would also affect a listed building

The contractor will be required to carry out the energy upgrading works on the buildings of the Trefort Garden Campus - A, B-C; D; F, I, K - located on the Museum Boulevard and on the properties at 3 and 11-13 Puskin Street. When carrying out the works, the successful tenderer must take into account that one of the buildings is listed as a historical monument and that buildings B-C and H-D form a separate but coherent building unit.
The complex energy upgrading, i.e. including building services engineering and building services electrics, is to be carried out in one campus building with six storeys and five campus buildings with four storeys.

Energy-saving heat pumps and air handlers installed

The project includes the replacement of the boilers and the installation of heat pumps on the flat roofs. The buildings are heated by boiler rooms in buildings D and K, which are connected to each other. The heating of the Campus buildings forms a large interconnected system, so that the intervention affects the whole operation. For this reason, heating upgrades to individual buildings cannot be treated in isolation, but as a whole.
Historic preservation regulations require that a central heat pump serving the building complex
can only be installed on the flat roof of Building D. This will be connected to a new heat pump system on an on-site track that will also serve the boiler room of Building K.
New heating circulating pumps will be installed in five buildings to replace the existing ones. The radiators will be fitted with thermostatic valves.

The air technology is also being modernised

For Building I, the current air handlers will be replaced with a more efficient heat recovery air handling system. The air ducts in the attic will be insulated and the existing layers will be thickened in places.
The project will also include the replacement of the building surveillance system, which, in addition to being expandable, will also have to provide remote data readout and intervention facilities.
The ELTE invites bids until 23 January 2025. The contractor will be able to start work once the lane schedule has been agreed, subject to the provision of funds for the project.
