Baseline for hospitals

Hej! As there is a baseline for data centers (tool developed in excel), is there also a similar document or any guideline for hospitals?

I am not aware of one for hospitals.

Many thanks for promt reply. Do you know about any guideline for procesenergy in LEED hospitals? I find that there is very little information available about this.

Medical equipment is a tough one. I am not aware of any baselines for it. Some of the other process loads in a hospital, like office equipment, etc., have established baselines. Have you checked Energy Star (before the shutdown)?

I didn't check Energy Star, but I guess then I have to wait until after shutdown (: I have not worked with Energy Star yet, and the project country is not US - but it would be great to get some inspiration. Where would you suggest to look (meaning can I just go on the Energy Star website to find out?) Many thanks.

Check under commercial products. You should also check out COMNET. They have established some process load values which could possibly be used as a baseline. Not sure how this plays outside the US however.

Thanks!
