A comparative study of energy consumption between various hospitals in Malaysia / Hammad Ahmad Ainuddin

The buildings’ sector consumes about 15% of the total energy consumption in Malaysia. Of the biggest contributors to this figure are hospitals, which usually use energy above average due to their operation hours, occupants, and complex services. A survey study was conducted during various energy man...

Of the biggest contributors to this figure are hospitals, which usually use energy above average due to their operation hours, occupants, and complex services. A survey study was conducted during various energy management system audits to Malaysian hospitals where important data for energy, load apportioning, and significant energy users are collected and comparatively analyzed.
