“…The use of LED technology for lighting also brings energy savings. In fact, the application of this technology guarantees a faster return on investment for industries with 24-hour lighting applications (Sivachandran et al, 2021). In this regard, the first actions should primarily involve sensitizing users to report water leaks and ensure their timely repair.…”

Energy audit is one of the decision support tools that enables managers and project owners to identify energy-saving opportunities and quickly implement energy consumption management measures. In Morocco, healthcare facilities are among the high energy-consuming organizations at the national level. In this regard, the objective of this research work is to conduct of an energy audit mission in a Moroccan regional hospital, in order to analyze the current situation by focusing on anomalies or deficiencies observed in the facilities and premises of diﬀerent care departments, and to identify potential targets for improving efficiency and reducing energy costs. Based on the energy diagnosis, it is evident that energy savings can be achieved through operational actions and reasonable investments in the medium term.

“…Intensitas pencahayaan yang terlalu rendah atau tinggi dapat menyebabkan beberapa gejala ketidaknyamanan visual seperti silau, kesulitan dalam melakukan tugas visual, gangguan dalam berkegiatan, stress, dan gejala fisik (sakit kepala, nyeri, mata gatal dan berair, mual, dan lain-lain). Penggunaan lampu LED dapat menjadi salah satu solusi untuk memenuhi persyaratan pencahayaan, efisiensi energi, dan meningkatkan faktor kenyamanan visual (Perumal et al, 2021).…”

The increase in the amount of daily waste generated by hospitals has contributed to climate change and global warming in the world. This is the basis for the development of the green hospital concept as an effort to reduce the impact of environmental damage in the health sector. Green hospital assessment in Indonesia can refer to the assessment tool developed by the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI) called greenship version 1.1. This study aims to analyze the differences in the implementation of green hospitals according to GBCI guidelines in two hospitals as a reference for hospitals in Indonesia. This research method is a narrative review, by searching grey literature according to the inclusion criteria. Based on the literature selection, data from two theses were obtained at Embung Fatimah Hospital Batam in 2017 and PON Prof. Dr. Mahar Mardjono Hospital in 2021 which will be analyzed for the three categories that have the highest proportion of benchmark values. The results show that the implementation of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation category at RS PON Prof. Dr. dr. Mahar Mardjono (62.5%) is better than at RSUD Embung Fatimah Batam (31.3%), the implementation of the Water Conservation category at RSUD Embung Fatimah Batam (50%) is better than at RS PON Prof. Dr. dr. Mahar Mardjono in 2021. Dr. dr. Mahar Mardjono (35%) and the implementation of the Indoor Health and Comfort category at RS PON Prof. Dr. dr. Mahar Mardjono (30.8%) and RSUD Embung Fatimah Batam (23.1%) still requires more attention because the percentage of achievements is still below 50%.

“…Little research has explored user experience of tunable, dimmable LED lighting systems of these varied lighting designs (Perumal et al, 2021). Aires et al applied tunable lighting in a controlled laboratory and a quasi-controlled field environment, finding inconsistent and inconclusive results between the two environments, with the authors suggesting testing lighting patterns in the field before implementing in a real environment (Aries et al, 2020).…”

Objective: This study explores whether “future” lighting systems that provide greater control and opportunity for circadian synchronization are acceptable to participants in the role of patients. Background: Tunable, dimmable light emitting diode systems provide multiple potential benefits for healthcare. They can provide significant energy savings, support circadian synchronization by varying the spectrum and intensity of light over the course of the day, address nighttime navigation needs, and provide user-friendly control. There is an emerging understanding of the important visual and nonvisual effects of light; however, important questions remain about the experience and acceptability of this “future” lighting if we are to adopt it broadly. Methods: Volunteer participants (34) performed a series of tasks typical of patients, such as reading or watching a video, in a full-scale simulated inpatient room. Each participant conducted these tasks under 12 lighting conditions in a counterbalanced order that included varying illuminance levels, correlated color temperatures (CCTs), and in a few conditions, saturated colors. The participants rated each lighting condition on comfort, intensity, appropriateness, and naturalness. Results and Conclusions: The participants found that conditions with CCTs of 5,000 K and higher were significantly less comfortable and less natural than conditions with lower CCTs. Conditions with lighting distributed in multiple zones in the patient room were viewed more favorably than a traditional overbed configuration. The participants in this simulated patient study reacted negatively to colored lighting on the footwall of the room but found a mixture of warmer and cooler luminaire CCTs acceptable.
