A quantitative analysis of final energy consumption in hospitals in Spain

The results set the average annual energy consumption in a Spanish hospital for standard operating conditions as 0.27 MWh/m2, 9.99 MWh/worker and 34.61 MWh/bed (standard deviations 0.07 MWh/m2, 3.96 MWh/worker and 12.49 MWh/bed, respectively). The geographic location was seen to show a direct influence on those values, as opposed to the specific type of management (TM), the number of available beds, the GDP or the particular climate conditions.
