Energy situation in German hospitals

2087 hospitals with approx. 507,000 beds in Germany Total consumption in German hospitals: approx. 12.5 M MWh / year heating approx. 13.9 M MWh / year electricity Overall energy costs per year: approx. Euro 1.7 bn

Possible savings in German hospitals

By implementing optimal technical rehabilitation measures German hospitals can save:

up to 40 % on energy costs more than Euro 600 M per year and avoid up to 6,000,000 tons of CO2 .

How can hospitals save up to 40 % on their energy costs? Most importantly: They dont have to invent anything new!
modernisation of heating and control engineering use of a combined heat and power plant (CHP) modernisation of the air-conditioning and ventilation systems energy management and central building control systems use of heat recovery use of energy-saving lamps, electronic chokes and natural light use of solar heat isolation of the building face user behaviour

How can the technical and financial benefits of different options be assessed?

Apply a value analysis using the

The energy potential analysis especially for hospitals Benefits: Identifies the status quo Delivers a benchmark Proposes relevant measures Creates a value analysis

Best Practice Example

Martin-Luther-Krankenhaus Wattenscheid
300 beds

Selection of measures implemented :

Heating Installation of a CHP plant with 50 kW electrical and 80 kW thermal power output Installation of six gas condensing boilers for heating and airing the building. Power supply and lighting Use of low-energy light bulbs Use of presence detectors Energy management and staff involvement Drawing up energy reports Constant monitoring and optimisation of the heating system Briefing with the staff Savings The measures reduced CO2-emissions by 20% (400 t per year). Investment: 615.000 - Annual savings 840.000 kWh natural gas and 46.000 kWh electricity Energy cost savings of at least 110.000 per year

Best Practice Example

Klinik Hohe Mark Oberursel
230 beds, 27 buildings

Measures implemented:
Heat supply Old gas boiler replaced with a modern peak load boiler Flow temperature reduced by 22% CHP plant installed with 140 kW electrical and 212 kW thermal power output Circulating pumps exchanged for regulated pumps Power supply and lighting Use of LED tube lights, low-energy light bulbs and presence detectors Energy management and staff involvement Savings The measures reduced CO2-emissions by 27% (510 t per year). Investments: 1.600.000 annual savings of 840.000 kWh natural gas and 46.000 kWh electricity Energy cost savings of at least 160.000 per year

Why are cost-saving potentials not realised? Possible explanations:

Energy efficiency is not recognized as having relevance The potential for possible savings is not recognized The theme is not communicated at the decision-making level No means to finance the measure

- Conclusion Hospitals are complex facilities with a strict focus on health care Hospitals are among the largest energy consumers Optimal energy efficiency can save up to 40 % on energy costs Modernization and optimization of facility engineering creates many positive effects for hospitals Uniform measures are difficult to define for hospitals The biggest savings are achieved with the large consumers by modernizing heating and cooling technology, as well as air conditioning and ventilation technology Measures are very easily identified with energy potential analyses and ranked according to economic efficiency There are plenty of good examples for energy efficiency in hospitals that can be presented as examples of best practice. The topic of energy efficiency is not communicated sufficiently to decision-makers in hospitals and is not regarded to be important.

My message: Energy efficiency for hospitals pays off!
