YIT Germany has been awarded a contract in the amount of EUR 10 million within the scope of the new construction at the University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf, Derendorf Campus. In a consortium with construction company Züblin and electrical installation company Oertel & Prümm, YIT will build Building 5 (Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering departments) in the capacity of a general contractor.

The heat exchangers for the cooling system also have a capacity of 1,500 kW. The ventilation and air conditioning will be provided by about 40 air handling units and various ventilators with an air volume of 340,000 m³/h.
