  • Abstract
    Huge amounts of energy are consumed by hospitals to improve the health environment for patients. This energy needs to be stable and continuous. Therefore, it is necessary to manage energy consumption. The main aim of such an energy management program is to optimise energy consumption in order to reduce costs and save energy. The purpose of this paper is to analyse energy consumption in hospitals, taking into account different types of loads (air conditioning, medical equipment, etc.).
