Renewable heating and cooling for a hospital
In Madrid’s Severo Ochoa Hospital, a pilot project uses a booster heat pump to capture and upgrade waste heat from the hospital’s cooling chillers for district heating—reducing reliance on cooling towers and improving energy efficiency year-round.
The importance of investing in the energy refurbishment of hospitals: Results of a case study in a Mediterranean climate
This study demonstrates how an energy audit of a university building in Italy informed strategies to improve Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) performance, enhance indoor environmental quality, and reduce energy consumption through targeted retrofitting measures.
An adaptation strategy to urban heat: hospital rooms with radiant cooling accelerate patient recovery
Equipping hospital rooms with radiant cooling at a constant comfortable temperature notably quickens discharge, stabilizes vital signs, reduces fluid consumption, and boosts activity levels in patients with respiratory conditions during summer months.
