Analysis of Building Energy Consumption in a Hospital in the Hot Summer and Cold Winter Area

A hospital building features a number of different functional areas. The equipment and systems that serve the building and its medical needs are complex and require various forms of energy, including electricity, gas, steam, hot water and chilled water. Domestic and foreign research data show that the energy consumption per unit area of hospital buildings is twice that of general public buildings. This article selects a typical comprehensive hospital in the hot summer and cold winter area as a case, analyzes the actual energy demand of the hospital building through the measured data, and puts forward reasonable suggestions on the energy consumption mode and system improvement plan of the hospital in combination with the operating conditions.
