Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article describes the development, results, and practical applications of energy use profiles and trends for a million-sq.-ft. medical center (MC) campus located in western New York.End-use categories and functional areas with the greatest contribution to MC campus energy use are identified. This process supports a conceptual framework for developing energy efficiency measures (EEMs) and provides data for comprehensive energy measurement, verification, and benchmarking.Energy benchmarking results for campus-wide and individual buildings are presented. The significance of detailed energy benchmarking for the individual buildings comprising the MC campus in evaluating campus energy performance as a whole is emphasized. Detailed MC campus energy use trends are presented on various time scales.This comprehensive approach to energy evaluation can be used for streamlining energy performance evaluations and operations/maintenance focus in the healthcare industry.
