Energy Efficiency and Human Comfort

Abstract

Hospitals face the challenge of achieving an energy economy while maintaining a healthy atmosphere for patient comfort and recovery. This chapter reviews the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) in hospital HVAC systems and how they help achieve optimal conditions in temperature, ventilation, and energy usage. AI algorithms can automatically adjust air conditioning settings, reducing energy usage while maintaining required conditions. This leads to efficient cost reduction. These technologies when integrated into hospital HVAC systems improve patient comfort and the indoor environment. In order to maintain the ideal conditions required for effective patient outcomes and rehabilitation, air conditioning systems are used, but they consume high energy in order to operate. By combining AI and IoT, hospitals can optimize their energy use while maintaining optimal conditions of temperature, ventilation, human comfort, and air quality.
