Hospital HVAC Energy Use: Compliance Limits Efficiency Options

Hospital HVAC Energy Use: Compliance Limits Efficiency Options

Consulting-Specifying Engineer reports that HVAC systems account for roughly 45% to 55% of total energy use in hospitals and 50% to 60% in outpatient facilities, while codes from ASHRAE, NFPA, FGI and the CDC constrain common efficiency tactics. The publication also cites an American Society for Healthcare Engineering finding that a 10% cut in hospital energy use can raise net operating income by 1.5%.

  • 01HVAC accounts for about 45% to 55% of hospital energy use and up to 70% in high-intensity facilities, one of the largest shares of facility energy use
  • 02Health care facility guidelines call for higher exhaust volumes, filtration standards, air-change rates and narrow humidification ranges that add energy use and limit the broad setbacks and capacity reductions common in other building types
  • 03A 10% reduction in energy use can increase a typical hospital's net operating income by 1.5%, according to ASHE, though efficiency upgrades often carry higher upfront costs for advanced technology and controls
