Hospital energy management: turning data into useful insight
Hospital energy management: turning data into useful insight
- Data Collection and Visualisation, Energy Monitoring
Overview
Large-scale cleansing and consolidation of energy data, providing an excellent foundation for energy management.
Services provided:
- Data collection and visualisation
- Energy monitoring
A major London hospital wanted to gain accurate data on its energy performance, in a user-friendly format that would allow for analysis, monitoring and targeting. The large site comprises numerous free-standing buildings, huge steam boilers, and a CHP (combined heat and power) unit.
Energy management had previously been a lower priority, with data not being looked after and no coherent energy reduction strategy. Energy efficiency initiatives had been ad hoc, with no real insight into their effectiveness.
Although the hospital had a very large amount of data going back to 2016, including meter readings, it was disorganised, inaccurate, and contained large gaps.
We were asked to conduct a large-scale cleansing and consolidation of all of the disparate data sources into an easily manageable, accurate format.
Objectives
- Clean and consolidate energy data, filling in the “gaps”
- Convert data into an accessible user friendly format
- Improve energy analysis, monitoring and targeting
Project scope
We collected the data in various formats and our Bureau Team carried out a full data purging exercise. We identified several anomalies; these were fed back to the client, providing opportunities for ‘quick win’ savings.
We then converted the mass of incomplete and disparate data streams into a user-friendly database for future use in analysis, monitoring and targeting.
Outcomes & deliverables
The creation of an accurate, complete and easy to use database on energy performance has provided the hospital with an excellent foundation for energy management. This has already started with the reassurance of knowing that the performance of some significant energy project investments can be monitored accurately to ensure that actual savings match initial projections.
