Healthcare energy challenges
The healthcare sector in the UK faces many complex energy challenges while working towards a greener healthcare system. Three of the biggest energy challenges in the healthcare sector include:
High energy demand
The deployment of advanced medical equipment, such as MRI machines, CT scanners, and robotic surgical systems, significantly increases the energy demand of many healthcare facilities. Higher operational cost can put strain on existing energy infrastructure.
Complex infrastructure
Many healthcare facilities operate in outdated buildings with inefficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. This leads to higher energy consumption and maintenance costs, and reduced comfort for patients and staff.
Technology integration
In line with the previous challenge, upgrading or integrating new technologies and equipment can present numerous challenges due to complex infrastructure and investment restraints.
Upgrading or integrating new technologies and equipment presents challenges due to complex infrastructure and investment constraints. While older technologies use more energy, modern alternatives are more energy efficient. Though it may seem like an unnecessary expense, investing in modern technologies will ultimately save money. Small changes like switching to LED bulbs, along with bigger initiatives such as implementing smart temperature systems for optimal heating and cooling, can improve patient experience and help manage utility costs effectively.
Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations (EPBD)
Do the above energy challenges resonate with you? By understanding and adhering to EPBD requirements, businesses can ensure compliance and support broader sustainability initiatives.
The key aspects of EPBD include:
- Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)
- Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEES)
- Regular inspections
- Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (NZEB)
- Smart Technologies
