In terms of energy projects, there are significant differences. Sometimes difficult to determine services who is in charge.
Hospitals are large users of both electrical and thermal energy on a continuous basis.
Backup on-site generation is required for essential services. Thermal loads tend to be dominated by the HVAC system as indicated in this pie chart. Typically about half of a hospitals water consumption is heated. Daily consumption of hot water can be quite varied depending on the type hospital, its size, and the occupancy factor. Available data indicates daily consumption ranging from 25 to 90 gallons per bed, with the maximum hours consumption ranging from 7 to 22 gallons per hour-bed.
