Points in the Energy Conservation at Hospitals
2. Differences from Other Business Categories in Terms of the Consumption of Energy
A large amount of energy is used in a hospital

In particular, the amount of the consumption of heat is large since much steam and hot water is used

  • Ensuring the efficiency of combustion equipment
  • Measures having to do with leakage of steam
  • Prevention of heat loss from the piping system

Characteristics of the Department Composition and Consumption of Energy
Departments Ratio by floor space area Working hours Energy density Ratio of the amount of the consumption of energy
Hospital ward
(Hospital rooms, ICU, nurse stations, toilets and sanitary facilities, day rooms, corridors, etc.) 		35% 24h 0.98 34%
Out patient ward
(Entrance hall, waiting room, consultation rooms, treatment rooms, toilets, etc.) 		13% 9h 0.87 11%

Shared
(Elevators, electricity room, equipment room) 		10% 24h 0.45 5%
* The energy density is the ratio when the average of all departments is assumed to be 1.
