Summary
Hospitals are energy-intensive buildings. Most rely on fossil fuels to support their power supply, creating greenhouse gas emissions. Medical facilities can follow global sustainability trends by installing green technology.
Combined heat and power (CHP) systems effectively reduce a building’s energy consumption, improving atmospheric and surface-level conservation. Individuals can integrate the technology with renewable electricity, eliminating heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) pollution. Before exploring the benefits of CHP systems, we must assess the sustainability limitations associated with conventional energy production.
How CHPs Can Support Hospitals
CHPs can significantly improve the sustainability of hospitals. Many individuals may ask, “Is CHP renewable energy?” While CHP systems decrease emissions, they alone are not clean power producers.
When combined with a renewable energy primer, the heat and power technology can support emission-free electricity. The system is also energy-efficient, increasing the reliability of clean power. CHPs can support hospitals by decreasing their utility costs.
The price of CHP energy is less than fossil-fuel-derived power. Installation fees are also cost-effective, helping individuals pay off theirsystems in 5-10 years on average. They also increase the energy security of hospitals by producing a reliable energy supply.
During power outages, some backup generators at medical facilities fail, leaving patients vulnerable. Adding renewable energy and CHP systems can improve the health and well-being of everyone in a hospital. Owners may adopt the technology to shrink their carbon footprints and enhance their power supplies.
