Hospitals are complex structures that attract attention with their high energy consumption, cannot tolerate operational interruptions and need to consider sustainability goals. Effective management of energy resources such as electricity, water and natural gas is critical for both controlling costs and improving service quality. Apollo offers a comprehensive and innovative platform to solve the problems faced by hospitals with AI and IoT-powered energy management solutions.
Common Problems and Solutions in Energy Management in Hospitals
Monitoring Electricity, Water and Natural Gas Consumption
Problem:
Hospitals usually manually record their electricity, water and natural gas consumption on a daily or monthly basis and enter this data into the system. However, manual entries are both time-consuming and error-prone.
Apollo's Solution:
Apollo integrates with IoT devices and digital meters to collect energy consumption data in real time. Thus, it eliminates the need for manual entry and provides hourly, daily and monthly reports, enabling managers to monitor consumption habits. to monitor it in real time allows.
Tracking Energy Costs and Double Term Advantages
Problem:
Hospitals monitor energy costs through invoice control. However, to fully utilize the benefits of dual term (different tariffs during the day and night), continuous monitoring and detailed analysis are required.Apollo's Solution:
Apollo's artificial intelligence-based algorithms automatically calculate and report the cost advantages resulting from the double term. In addition, with detailed analysis of energy costs, unnecessary consumption is identified and savings are achieved.
Regional and Floor-Based Consumption Tracking
Problem:
Hospitals want to monitor the energy consumption of different devices (MRI machine, chiller cooling tower, etc.) and floors. This is important for identifying unnecessary consumption and for energy efficiency projects. However, there are many hospitals that do not have the necessary infrastructure to collect this data.
Apollo's Solution:
Apollo integrates with IoT devices to monitor device and floor-based energy consumption in real time. With Apollo, hospitals can perform detailed efficiency analysis down to the device level. In this way, unnecessary consumption can be quickly identified and measures can be taken.
Benchmarks for Energy Consumption per Patient
Problem:
Hospitals already track their energy consumption per patient, but do not have the data they need for comparative analysis with other hospitals in the sector.
Apollo's Solution:
Apollo compares its energy consumption per patient with other hospitals in the sector benchmark reports. These reports help hospitals set energy efficiency targets and see where they stand in the industry.
ISO 50001 Energy Management System Certification
Problem:
When hospitals receive ISO 50001 certification, there is confusion about which data they should keep as energy variables due to the complex building layout and operation. Variables such as number of patients, number of operations, number of MRI scans, etc. each have a different correlation on energy consumption.
Apollo's Solution:
Apollo recommends the required data sets and reports in accordance with ISO 50001 requirements. With artificial intelligence support automating data collection and reporting processes enables hospitals to easily meet these standards.
Reactive Penalty and Subscriber Management
Problem:
When reactive power management is done manually, especially in multi-subscriber hospitals, reactive penalty problems are experienced as a result of delays and incorrect follow-ups.
Apollo's Solution:
Apollo monitors reactive power consumption instantly and prevents penalties by making necessary warnings. In addition, multi-subscriber structures to easily track consumption allows.
Demand Monitoring and Transformer Capacity Planning
Problem:
In large hospitals, such as Izmir Atatürk Training and Research Hospital, demand can strain the capacity of the transformer. This increases the risk of power outages and may require increasing transformer capacity.
Apollo's Solution:
Apollo, we're tracking the demand monitors the current load and provides detailed reports for capacity planning. In this way, the necessary steps for infrastructure improvements can be taken in advance.
