Abstract
Healthcare facilities consume much more energy than most industrial commercial buildings. In this context, they have about twice as much energy consumption and CO2 emissions as a conventional commercial building. Approximately 11% of commercial electricity consumption is used by healthcare facilities. Independent research has shown that the share of lighting in total energy consumption is about 16%, while its share in electricity consumption reaches 44% in healthcare facilities. Sustainability and energy efficiency are becoming more important. It is very important to create a design that will make both the employee and the patient feel comfortable and well in the type of structures that consume energy 24 h a day. In 24/7 working environments like hospitals, different applications for each environment will be integrated into different automation systems, and energy saving will be ensured along with desired efficiency.
