IMPROVING THE HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT. ENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURES.
Abstract:
Saving energy, a commitment by the EU through the Kyoto Protocol “is arguably the fastest, the most efficient and the cheapest way to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions” (3), and thus improving air quality. It is fair to say that for most of the people, matters such as saving the planet and reducing its costs are not so important. Growing utility price is the main driver for energy efficiency. Energy Performance of Buildings Directive will force us to regularly evaluate and publicly display the energy performance, this giving, transparency, dynamics and the default value of buildings and hospital accreditation in terms of energy. Using energy efficient equipment is vital, but not sufficient. To be effective, hospital buildings should be monitored, managed and controlled to achieve sustainable performance and prevent damage. It is equally important to focus on the use, management and maintenance of the plateau systems, which leads to lower costs and carbon emissions quickly and with little or moderate expenses. Energy consumption and polluting emissions bring about serious economic, political and social problems, both now and for the future generations, the effect of greenhouse gases could have devastating effects on the economies of the world.
