Hospital

Hospitals primarily serve to offer patients the best conditions for therapy and healing. In addition, hospitals are workplaces which also frequently serve for research and training.

Buildings and technical building equipment are accordingly complex. The spectrum ranges from kitchens to operating rooms on up to patient rooms, and from HVAC systems to cooling rooms for blood storage and pharmaceuticals on up to conduits for medical gases.

Hospitals are also commercial enterprises, though, and must be operated economically. Therefore efficient operation of the building and equipment is also important.

The highest demands are made on the technology in hospitals, first in terms of reliability and safety, but then also in terms of efficiency and economy.

Safety and efficiency through building automation

Building automation offers the possibility to operate the complex equipment in hospitals safely and efficiently. A prerequisite for that is the most comprehensive integration as possible. For this reason the systems engineering is transparent; monitoring, operation and maintenance are simplified; and errors and weak spots are more quickly identified and pinpointed.

Building automation monitors and controls not only the technology in individual buildings, but also multiple buildings on a property and even buildings on separate properties can be integrated into a system. Even hospitals are often converted or expanded. Building automation can flexibly follow these changes.

Energy efficiency

One of the main cost factors in hospitals is the energy costs. Building automation can exploit savings potential there. Of the approximately 2,100 hospitals only five percent have been renovated efficiently with regard to energy. Energy efficiency in hospitals is effectively improved with building automation.
