As a part of ICT Policy Support Programme,1 the task of this work is the assessment of possibilities for increasing energy efficiency in hospitals using various control techniques that are available today. To present the opportunities for energy savings, it is necessary to define the ways in which savings can be achieved (control strategies), and then determine the equations by which each method can be described separately, i.e. to calculate the amount of energy that can be saved. At the same time, it is important to take into account the mutual dependence of various methods and provide the maximum support in selecting the preferred methods for achieving the highest efficiency. In this paper a specific set of management methods is presented and their implementations are shown by utilizing the previously introduced tool for energy demand calculation.
