Effective use of data analytics in healthcare facilities can reduce equipment spending and increase energy savings by up to 30 percent, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
In order to manage their energy consumption, hospitals must have an understanding of their building systems. Using data analytics helps them identify and solve inefficiencies.
Lighting, HVAC, security and building management systems generate a lot of data. With the right tools, building managers can pull this data from these systems and run it against algorithms to compare current operations to an optimal range, the article said.
This process allows building managers to see when a system or piece of equipment isn't performing at optimal conditions or what to repair to gain efficiency.
