The purpose of the paper is to test a Low Exergy heating and cooling system (LowEx system) that enables the creation of healing and comfort conditions for individual user with minimal possible energy use. The LowEx system was tested in a model room for burn patient and compared with the conventional one. Thermal comfort conditions were simulated for three individual users (burn ...
This paper presents methods and challenges for estimating medical MELs energy consumption along with estimates of energy use in a hospital by combining device–level metered data with inventories and usage information. An important finding is that common, small devices consume large amounts of energy in aggregate and should ...
This team has developed research directed at much higher performing hospitals - targeting both energy performance and interior environmental quality, for little capital investment in six of the most populous and diverse climate regions in the USA. ...
