How Equans supports hospital performance and improves energy efficiency across a major university hospital group
Hospices Civils de Lyon (HCL) is the second largest university hospital centre in France. The group operates 13 hospitals across the Lyon metropolitan area and provides acute care alongside research and teaching facilities at regional and national level.
To ensure the reliability of its infrastructure and manage long-term energy performance, HCL relies on Equans to operate and maintain technical equipment across its sites.
This partnership enhances operational continuity and supports regulatory compliance in a highly demanding healthcare environment.

University hospitals operate complex technical systems where availability directly impacts patient care and research activities. Therefore, it is essential to:
- Guarantee infrastructure reliability across multiple hospital sites
- Maintain HVAC and critical technical systems
- Ensure continuous operation of hospital utilities
- Comply with the French Eco-Energy Tertiary Decree
- Improve long-term energy performance
The solution
Equans is responsible for the maintenance and operation of hospital systems across HCL facilities. The scope of these services includes:
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
- Operation of CMMS (computerised maintenance management system)
- Operation of BMS (building management system)
- Compliance support for the Eco-Energy Tertiary Decree
- Energy performance optimisation
The value delivered by Equans
Through continuous monitoring and structured energy management processes, Equans is able to guarantee equipment availability and assist the organisation in achieving its decarbonisation targets.
This collaboration enables Hospices Civils de Lyon to:
- Guarantee operational continuity in critical care environments
- Improve infrastructure efficiency across multiple sites
- Establish a structured energy performance roadmap
- Align hospital operations with national energy regulations
This project demonstrates how integrated multi-disciplinary services can support healthcare and environmental performance in large university hospital systems.
