In the complex environment of a hospital, Heating, Ventilating, Air-conditioning (HVAC) and Lighting account for nearly 80% of all energy use.

The potential savings achievable with investments with a payback time of less than seven years can reach 40%, HVAC and lighting being the major contributors.

Half of it, being 20%, can be attributed to the impact of ICT.

The HOSPILOT proposed service will tailor, install and tune an ICT based system that will significantly reduce the energy consumption – regarding lighting and HVAC – in a hospital environment.

Three pilots will be executed in hospitals (in The Netherlands, Spain and Finland) during normal operation.
