ENERGY EFFICIENT HOSPITALS
• It has been observed in various studies that good indoor conditions help patients to recover faster.
• Certain key features of energy efficient buildings like better day lighting, access of views of good
landscape, good indoor thermal comfort and indoor air quality help in faster recovery of patients.
Therefore it makes great sense to incorporate these features in hospitals for ensuring faster recovery of
patients.
• Additionally environmentally conscious practices in hospitals would ensure that not only is the health of
building occupants a priority but by reducing the pollution from the building, the hospital also contributes
towards improving the environmental conditions of people in its vicinity.
• Therefore a green hospital provides good care for both people living within it as well as outside it.

WHY HOSPITALS ?
• Hospitals are known to consume vast quantities of energy and resources.
• A well planned hospital building must therefore incorporate careful design that will ensure efficiency in
the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system; use natural light as far as possible without
compromising on illumination; and have energy efficient housekeeping and waste disposal systems.
• The architects must plan the building so that its design and infrastructure have the optimum energy
efficiency. All equipment must be procured only after ascertaining that they consume minimal energy;
retrofitting existing equipment must also be considered in this regard.
Hospitals are like mini industries requiring energy for diverse applications and
based on different energy resources like electricity, fuel and of late renewable
resource like solar.

THE NEED FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT HOSPITALS
• The need to design a building efficiently from the
start enables more and better efficiency
measures to be used.
• The more new technologies and practices that
are adopted in new construction, the more costs
will come down and the measures become
standard practice.
• By incorporating energy efficiency, renewable
energy and sustainable green design features
into a building at the outset, you can play a
significant role - not only controlling building's
energy consumption - but also contributing to
achieving a sustainable energy structure for our

THE NEED FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT HOSPITALS
• Energy consumption is one of the most prevalent
problems facing today.
• Individually, they use almost three times the amount
of energy a typical office building requires.
• As a result, there has been a dramatic shift towards
energy efficiency initiatives that can decrease
operational expenses while allowing the facility to
retain maximum operational efficiency and patient

ENERGY CONSUMPTION BY THE BUILDINGS
Demand for energy is increasing fast day by day and is likely to increase in tune with industrialization/ urbanization.
The building sector being one of the largest consumers of energy, has gained prominence over the past few decades.
• 45% of total global energy is used in heating, cooling and lighting of building.
• 5% energy is used in building construction.
• Energy used for air conditioning of commercial buildings accounts for 32% of the total energy consumption.
• Energy consumption patterns can be substantially reduced by energy conserving measures, particularly during the
phase of building design.
• Space heating load can be reduced by about 50%.

CLEAN AND GREEN INTERIOR BUILDING MATERIALS
• Use of interior paints which do not emit / absorb / re-release indoor pollutants such as VOC’s and dust.
• Hospital surfaces should have the property of resisting and repelling the growth of pathogenic germs
and bacteria. Patented interior surfaces are available which resist bacterial and fungal growth.
• Use of indoor flooring which is easily cleanable and does not emit VOC’s(volatile organic compound)
and dust.
• Install permanent entry-way systems to capture dust particles at all primary entrances.
• Use of certain species of indoor plants which not only produce oxygen but also reduce indoor pollutants
like VOC from air.
• Lack of proper insulation in the roofs and walls etc. can lead to patient discomfort through solar heat
conduction, also leads to more energy consumption. Thus high performance insulation such as
Extruded Polystyrene , Polyurethane foam for reducing energy consumption.

SIMULATIONLAUNDRY
Laundry facilities are extremely energy intensive. With an
average of 3 kg of dry laundry per bed per day, these
laundries are big consumer of steam. They may account for
10-15 percent of hospitals total energy consumption. Water
usage is also an important issue.
Actions that can be taken
1. Steam heated laundries generate excess low grade heat
that can be reused across the site.
2. Water recovery by recycling the rinse water from washers
extractors can reduce water usage.
3. Heat recovery via heat exchanger from hot affluent can be
done.
4. Combined heat and power(CHP) or co-generation systems
(if reliable gas supply is available) can be used.

CENTRAL MEDICAL GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
It is a central supply system, which is designed to provide a safe and effective method of delivering the
required medical gas (O2, N2O, N2), medical air, and medical vacuum from the source of supply through a
pipeline system to all delivery points in hospital.
The system has thorough going colour coordination according to the kind of gas.
The main function of this system is to supply of right medical gases at right pressure.
These systems are usually highly monitored by various alarm systems, at the point of supply and in
particular areas.

of safety.
• The direct piping method removes obsolete, bulky and dangerous pressurized cylinders from the patient's
bedside.
• Limited transportation of gas cylinders in the workplace.
• Elimination of noise produced by their movement.
• Protection of sterile areas from contamination caused by use and movement of cylinder.
• Uninterrupted and clean gas supply at desired locations.
• Safe And Relief System.
• Effective use of space. Additionally it is economically advantageous and hygienic.
• Continuous supply of gas to each work station.
• Risk of incidents are reduced because the gas cylinders are no longer handled inside the workplace.

ENERGY
SIMULATIONEstablishing a house-keeping schedule
1. Regular check-list of areas where energy is lost for eg. Walls, floors, roofs, skylights, doors and windows
is necessary.
2. Regularly checking of the building for dampness which reduces the insulating properties is required.
3. Ensure that hot water and heating pipes are well insulated and replaced if required, thus we can save
energy by reducing heat loss from the pipe.
Sterilization and disinfection
1. To operate effectively, sterilization and disinfection departments require equipments that are particularly
energy efficient.
2. Ventilation to this department is filtered by high efficiency particulate air(HEPA) filters and usually air
conditioned.
3. In order to minimize energy consumption, use cascade systems where conditioned air from cleanest
space flows to dirty space.
4. Secondly, using heat recovery in these areas as heat is emitted 24 hours a day.

15. LED
REASONS FOR CHOOSING LED:
– Variable light colours
– Can be controlled appropriately to needs
– Versatility and high lighting quality
(good colour rendering, high-precision direction of light)
Some type of outdoor lamps consume a lot of reactive load, thus their
performance is reduced, capacitors can be used for power factor correction.
These could result in a 50 % reduction in energy consumption.

ENERGY
SIMULATION
LIGHTING
Lighting is a sector with great energy saving potential.
A good hospital design should maximize daylight and optimize the artificial lighting requirement.
Day-lighting is the controlled admission of natural light from the sky whether direct or diffused into the building so as to
reduce the electrical energy consumption. And it also enhances health and well being of the patients.
Physical and visual environment of hospitals impacts the psychological senses of the patient, the staff and the
relatives.
Certain 24 x7 areas of hospitals adds significance to the lighting design and lends criticality to the illumination
planning of hospitals.

PERFORMANCE, EFFICIENCY, COMFORT (PEC)
Three core values applied to lighting in healthcare
PERFORMANCE:
To provide an optimal lighting solution. In hospitals, clinics and care homes, this can lead to less fatigue,
quicker reactions and task completion with fewer mistakes resulting in higher standards of care.
EFFICIENCY:
Efficiency is concerned with the energy consumption, economics and practical aspects of a lighting
installation. Lighting products are carefully engineered and manufactured to produce
practical, easy to maintain solutions that consume the least possible power and provide long-life, trouble-
free solutions.
COMFORT:
The ability to give people satisfaction and stimulation. Lighting influences concentration and mood. Comfort
is concerned with atmosphere, reassurance, and in the healthcare environment, the well-being of the
patient.

GUIDELINES for ENERGY EFFICIENCY in HOSPITALS
Energy saving measures can play a significant role for lowering energy consumption and energy costs, as well as for
environmental protection.
Energy consumption is responsible for CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, that contribute to the “greenhouse effect”.
An important parameter for energy saving in the buildings sector is the high efficiency of the energy infrastructures,
which requires excellent quality of the relevant equipment installed, as well as the compliance with all the requirements
set by the legislation.
In order to maximize the energy efficiency of a building -based on the capabilities of the existing shell and
infrastructure, and minimise the need of any reconstruction or energy saving measures should be adopted.
An energy management programme for a building or group of buildings usually include:
• Identification of the adequate targets for energy consumption
• Feasibility and implementation of new energy technologies
• Identifying the adequate funding for energy projects
• Monitoring of the construction of energy applications
• Monitoring of the efficiency during their operation.

ENERGY SAVING POTENTIAL IN HOSPITALS
1) 24hour operation (lighting, heating, air condition, electricity consumption)- The non-stop function of the hospitals
is an important factor why there is such a big energy consumption.
2) Lighting- Lighting is a sector with great energy saving potential. These could result in a 50% reduction in energy
consumption.
3) Heating- Consuming gas for heating is a big percentage of the overall energy consumption.
One of the main building types with a great potential to apply measures of energy saving is the hospitals.
Below, some of the most important reasons why hospitals consume lot of energy and some simple ways to reduce their
energy consumption are mentioned.

19. 19
ENERGY
SIMULATION
ENERGY SAVING POTENTIAL IN HOSPITALS
 Gas consumption for heating can be reduced by improving thermal insulation or adding insulation to a non-
insulated building and by maintaining the boiler at an annual basis.
• The greatest savings can be achieved if oil is substituted with natural gas.
• Energy consumption for heating can be reduced up to 15%.
• However, thermal insulation improvement and the adequate maintenance of the system can reduce significantly the
needs for cooling.
 Air Condition- Most hospitals have a central cooling system, which helps controlling electricity consumption by
adjusting the desired temperature and the humidity at the central cooling system.
 Electricity consumption- is very high in hospitals due to the continuous operation, the large rooms, the medical
equipment and the electric motors.
• Equipment with low energy consumption, replacing old motors with new ones help to the reduction of energy
consumption.

20. 20
ENERGY
SIMULATION
ENERGY SAVING POTENTIAL IN HOSPITALS
Big surface of the buildings
Rooms with big volume, long corridors and the need for satisfactory ventilation are factors that increase energy
consumption in hospitals.
In many cases, the continuous use of artificial lighting in all these rooms is not necessary, so systems of controlling the
switching of the lamps can be installed.
Some systems of this type are the motion sensors and the time switches which can be applied at rooms which don’t
need to be lightened often, like the toilets.
Needs for hot water
Hot water use, which is very energy-consuming, is high in hospitals.
The needs in hot water must be determined with accuracy, since they differ from one hospital to another, in order to
avoid unnecessary energy consumption for water heating.
Need for thermal comfort
Obtaining high quality of the inside climate and assuring the thermal comfort for the patients, factors also affect the
energy consumption in hospitals. The desired thermal comfort, the use of cooling systems and the use of heating and
humidity systems must be combined with the main bioclimatic principles and the adequate energy behaviour.

ENERGY
SIMULATION
ENERGY SAVING POTENTIAL IN HOSPITALS
Sterilization supplies
The great needs for sterilization in hospitals, demand steam networks with very long pipes. Good insulation at pipes to
avoid heat losses, the use of steam and the heating of the water are measures that can save lot of energy in a
hospital.
Energy consuming machines and equipment
Medical machines which are necessary for a hospital’s operation also contribute to the high energy consumption of
hospitals.
The energy cost can be controlled during the purchase process by taking into consideration the life cycle cost analysis,
the energy consumption, the energy efficiency etc.

Bio-medical waste, generated from a number of healthcare units, is imparted necessary treatment to
reduce adverse effects that this waste may pose.
Installation of individual treatment facilities by small healthcare units requires comparatively high
capital investment.
In addition, it requires separate manpower and infrastructure development for proper operation and
maintenance of treatment systems.
A Common Bio-medical Waste Treatment Facility (CBWTF) is used for treatment and disposal of BMW.
The concept of CBWTF not only addresses costs related problem but also prevents proliferation of
treatment equipment in a city.
By running the treatment equipment at CBWTF to its full capacity, the cost of treatment of per kilogram
gets significantly reduced.

Treatment and disposal of the biomedical waste shall be done by the following methods
 Incineration.
 Autoclaving.
 Shredding.
 Disposal option.
INCINERATION
85% to 90% of the total BMW is treated by Incineration.
1. Incineration systems uses high temperature combustion under controlled conditions to convert
wastes containing infectious and pathological material to inert mineral residues and gases.
2. Incineration is a process where the combustible waste is reduced to exhaust gaseous products
and the incombustible waste is reduced to ash
3. The key parameter in an incinerator are
• Temperature should be 900-1000*C .
• The waste be exposed for at least two seconds
• Incinerator should have the air pollution control equipment.

30. 30
AUTOCLAVING
The autoclave process is technology for the treatment of microbiology laboratory waste, human blood
any body fluid waste, waste sharps and anatomical waste.
Autoclaving is a time-tested process of sterilization of medical waste using high temperature and high
pressure steam.
Typical operating conditions for an autoclave are a temperature of at least 1210C at a pressure of 105
kPa for a period of at least 1hour.
Effective sterilization results in the destruction of bacteria, virus, spores, fungi and other pathogenic
microorganisms.
Shredders are used to destroy plastic and paper waste to prevent their reuse.
After autoclaving the plastic waste is sent to the shredder. The shredded waste is sold out to authorized
plastic molding units.
Only waste that is disinfected should be used in a shredder.
This reduces the bulk of waste making transportation easy.
Shredder have a set of revolving blades/shafts, which cut the waste into small pieces.
Maintainance costs is high.

31. 31
CONCLUSIONS
• The Bio-Medical Waste generated from the hospitals and all other source will be treated without
polluting the environment.
• All the above treatment and disposal process is done within the norms of CPCB & guidelines.
• The remaining material after incineration is safely disposed according to the CPCB guidelines.
• Incineration of Bio-Medical Waste is one of the techno- economical viable scheme, which have
many advantages such as significant volume reduction, weight reduction & also ability to manage
most types of wastes with little processing before treatment.
