Methods for assessing energy savings in hospitals using various control techniques

Dynamic energy performance analysis: Case study for energy efficiency retrofits of hospital buildings

“…In particular, the adoption of simplified methodologies related to several control techniques able to assess the possibilities for increasing energy efficiency in hospitals were recently presented in Refs. [19,20]. Here, according to the authors, the tool (including such methodologies) enables fast analyses by avoiding complex dynamic modelling.…”

The impact of the air distribution method in ventilated rooms on the aerosol particle dispersion and removal: The experimental approach

“…At the same time, it is important to calculate the amount of energy that can be saved parallel with insurance of IAQ. This consideration is very important for hospitals, where different contaminants are released by patients [20].…”

A Boiler Room in a 600-Bed Hospital Complex: Study, Analysis, and Implementation of Energy Efficiency Improvements

“…Figure 15 shows the cost of gas each hour over the two weeks analyzed in the study (1 week = 168 h). A comparison is made between the cost of one week in July (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24) 2011, and one week in September (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) 2011.…”

“…BACS is a system which allows data to be gathered and analyzed systematically, and which in many instances enables the proposed actions to be implemented, in such a way that, throughout the study, close attention must be paid to the system's configuration and functioning [19].…”
