Healthcare

Energy is a critical enabler of healthcare services, supporting the operation of medical facilities, powering essential equipment, and facilitating medical research.

The healthcare sector is increasingly focusing on energy efficiency and sustainability measures to reduce energy consumption, lower operating costs, and minimise environmental impact. This falls in-line with the Government’s agenda for this and other key sectors to reach net zero.

Adopting energy-efficient lighting systems, heating and chilling systems, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) technologies, and energy management systems to optimise energy use can transform healthcare operations. Renewable energy sources like solar panels and geothermal generate clean energy and reduce reliance on traditional energy sources using fossil fuels.

The sector requires a significant amount of energy to operate effectively. Energy is needed for lighting, heating, cooling, ventilation, and the operation of medical equipment and devices. Reliable and uninterrupted energy supply is crucial to ensure the continuous operation of life-saving equipment, maintain a safe and comfortable environment for staff and patients, and support various healthcare services.

Healthcare facilities and medical procedures are energy-intensive and rely on a wide range medical equipment and devices, such as diagnostic machines (X-ray machines, MRI scanners, ultrasound devices), surgical equipment, monitoring systems, and life support systems

for effective treatment outcomes. For example, radiation therapy in cancer treatment requires substantial amounts of energy to generate and deliver radiation beams accurately.

Backup power systems, such as generators, are also critical to provide electricity during power outages or emergencies for maintaining essential healthcare services, powering life support systems, preserving medications and vaccines that require refrigeration, and ensuring patient safety in critical situations.

Energy also plays a crucial role in supporting research and development activities in the healthcare sector, from pharmaceutical research laboratories to medical device testing facilities, energy is required to power equipment, maintain controlled environments, and facilitate the discovery and development of new treatments.

The adoption of energy-efficient and sustainable practices in the healthcare sector can lead to cost savings, environmental benefits, and improved healthcare delivery.

Calibrate can help in this mission by proposing and installing solutions to transform an organisation’s energy profile and meet the Government’s agenda to reach net zero.  We can support in making the transition to installing renewables, as well as upgrade or expand existing systems, making your business more sustainable and positively impact your bottom line and carbon profile.

Education

Energy plays a vital role in supporting educational institutions and facilitating effective teaching and learning.

Accumulatively across the country, they use a significant amount of energy, primarily in the form of fossil fuels. However, there is a growing emphasis on finding alternative energy sources to reduce environmental impacts and move towards more sustainable practices.  The Government has set targets for this sector in support of its net zero agenda.

Schools, colleges, and universities require a reliable and uninterrupted energy supply to operate efficiently and consistently to provide a successful learning environment. Energy is needed for lighting classrooms, libraries, and common areas, powering computers and audiovisual equipment, running heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and providing electricity for administrative tasks.

As the importance of sustainable energy practices grows, educational institutions play a crucial role in raising awareness and providing education on energy-related topics, as well as being advocates for these techniques in their own establishments.

As such, many educational institutions are increasingly adopting sustainability initiatives to reduce their energy consumption, carbon footprint, and environmental impact. This includes implementing energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems, optimising energy management strategies, integrating renewable energy technologies (such as solar panels and heat pumps), and promoting sustainable practices among students and staff. Campus sustainability efforts not only reduce energy costs but also serve as educational examples of sustainable practices.

Energy costs constitute a significant portion of an educational institution’s budget. Rising energy costs can strain financial resources, affecting the allocation of funds for educational programs, resources, and infrastructure development. Implementing energy efficiency measures, conducting energy audits, and exploring renewable energy options can help reduce energy costs and free up funds for educational purposes.
