Energy Performance Study in Thailand Hospital Building

Abstract

© 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd. This paper focuses on the designated building in Thailand. According to the Energy Conservation Promotion Act 1992. This study draws attention to the energy utilization index (EUI) used to compare energy consumption and the finding of the efficiency. This is the initial energy assessment and the finding of the baseline setting of the energy consumption of buildings in the commercial, emphasizing on the hospital groups. From the energy consumption data of hospitals in Thailand, it is found that the relatively high power consumption is the top of the commercial because of its 24-hour service. To support the accident or emergency that might cause anytime and the use of high energy for the medical equipment and facilities for the service users. This study collects baseline data for 45 large hospitals, by using 2015 annual data, and it is representing 32.17% of total hospital energy consumption. Which is Multiple linear regression analysis is introduced to analyse factors affecting energy consumption which leads to the baseline setting analysis of energy consumption of large hospital buildings. It can also be used as a reference for future energy conservation planning.
