In order to help China achieve its carbon reduction targets, this study focused on the feasibility of energy conservation and emission reduction in hospitals, which are complex and energy-consuming buildings. The study analyzed the reasons for high energy consumption in existing hospital buildings and proposed upgrading the systems and introducing photovoltaic power generation. The results showed significant energy savings and emission reductions after implementing the program.
In order to help China achieve the double carbon target of total carbon peak and high-quality sustainable economic development, and to enrich the work and content of energy conservation and emission reduction in the building sector, the most complex and energy-consuming hospitals are taken as the key projects for energy conservation and emission reduction to carry out feasibility studies. The reasons for the high energy consumption of the existing hospital buildings were analysed, and it was proposed to upgrade the existing systems (including air conditioning, hot water system and intelligent control system) and to generate photovoltaic power for the existing buildings, taking into account the characteristics of the local climate. The results of the study showed that the energy saving and emission reduction effect of the hospital was obvious after the programme was adopted.
