Sectors: Hospitals / Health
Challenges
Energy challenges specific to the Health sector include:
- reliability and continuity of energy supply (literally a matter of life and death)
- low priority attached to utility funding
- often piecemeal expansion of healthcare facilities, with new facilities “bolted on” to aging utilities infrastructure (resulting in inefficiencies and wastage)
- utility management is often outsourced to non-specialists e.g. general “maintenance” providers
- geographical challenges – air quality issues in urban areas, noise generated from plant etc
