(A) Background
Purposes of Energy Saving
Protect environment
Cut down energy use and save money
Minimize health threats with less harmful emission
Project positive corporate image

Energy use from Hospital Building operation
Use of energy for:
-
air conditioning and ventilation
-
lighting and electrical power
-
Steam and hot water
Energy source included:
-
Electricity
-
Town Gas and Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG)
-
Diesel fuel

(B) Energy Saving Strategy
Energy Saving Strategy
Energy Demand Side Management
−
Actions taken to influence the quantity and pattern
of use of energy in hospitals
Energy Supply Side Management
−
Selection of energy source and switch fuels
9
Energy Demand Side Management
Hospital Building Envelope
Hospital Engineering Systems
10
Energy Demand Side Management
- Hospital Building Envelope
Overall Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV) Control
- reduce overall building solar heat gain
(e.g. Low shading coefficient glass, sunshades,
recessed windows, etc.)
Planting & Roof Garden
- reduce roof solar heat gain and create better
patient healing environment
11
Energy Demand Side Management
- Hospital Engineering Systems
Promote good house keeping practice
Retrofit existing engineering system / equipment
for energy efficiency
Establish energy efficiency design reference
standard for new hospital projects
12
Energy Demand Side Management
- Hospital Engineering Systems
Summary of Implemented Measures
Lighting & Electrical
Air-conditioning
(A/C)
Boiler & Hot Water
Miscellaneous
13
Energy Demand Side Management
- Hospital Engineering Systems
Summary of Implemented Measures
Improvement of A/C control system
Automatic tube cleansing system for
chiller
Air-conditioning
Polarized refrigerant oil additive for
chiller
Chiller plant interconnection
Variable speed drive for chiller
Replacement of high efficiency chiller
Use of water-cooled A/C system
Window reflective film
14
Energy Demand Side Management
- Hospital Engineering System
Summary of Implemented Measures
LED exit sign
T5 lighting retrofit
Sensor lighting control
Compact fluorescent lamp
Lighting & Electrical

Energy Demand Side Management
- Hospital Engineering System
Summary of Implemented Measures
De-scaling device for boiler
Heat pump application
Boiler & Hot Water
16
Energy Demand Side Management
- Hospital Engineering System
Summary of Implemented Measures
Lift modernization
Housekeeping & operational measures
Energy management control &
monitoring software
Miscellaneous
17
Energy Demand Side Management
- Hospital Engineering System
Proposed Further Measure
Replace air-cooled chillers by water-cooled
chillers
Identified suitable replacement of 22
air-cooled chillers in 8 venues within
5 years
Estimated $15M annual energy cost
saving
Subject to business case and risk
assessment
18
Energy Supply Side Management
Alternative Choice of Energy
Adopting renewable energy
19
Energy Supply Side Management
- Alternative Choice of Energy
Key considerations included:
- Safety & Reliability
- Environmental
- Tariff
Switching from Diesel fuel to Town gas
- 9 hospitals already switched to towngas with
offered rebate for dual fuel boilers
20
Energy Supply Side Management
- Alternative Choice of Energy
Proposed Further Measures
Trigeneration Installation
Energy Supply Side Management
- Alternative Choice of Energy
Proposed Further Measures
Energy Supply Side Management
- Alternative Choice of Energy
Proposed Further Measures
Trigeneration installation
High overall system efficiency in generating own
electricity
Residual heat for providing steam, hot water and air
conditioning
More viable with availability of use of landfill gas at
lower tariff
Require consultancy study review on trigeneration
business case
23
Energy Supply Side Management
- Adopting renewable energy
Increase solar hot water system installation in
hospitals
Ride on new Government directives to install more
renewable energy system in new hospital projects
24
(C) Energy Saving Achievements
Energy Saving Achieved
Energy index in terms of mega joule per hospital
floor area (MJ/m2) at downward trend
3.1% reduction in 5 year intervals from 2004/05 up to
2009/10 (equivalent to $70M cumulative savings)
26
(D) Sustaining Energy Saving
Sustaining Energy Saving
Support ongoing Government initiation to reduce
energy use and carbon emission
Key initiatives include:
Energy Demand Supply Management
-
To consider replacing air cooled chiller to water cooled
chiller
Energy Supply Side Management
-
To work out business case of using Trigeneration System
28
Sustaining Energy Saving
Continue to ensure hospitals are built with various energy
efficient features by the works agents/consultants
Participate in territory-wide carbon-less certification scheme
as encouragement and continual driving momentum
Anticipated there would be further energy reduction
