The issue

Hospital buildings can be notoriously difficult and costly to heat, yet healthcare authorities need to ensure that the basics, such as comfortably heated wards and constant hot water, are delivered constantly and efficiently.

The dilemma healthcare managers face is that the cost of running and maintaining a hospital impacts heavily on healthcare funds and working within strict budget constraints means they have many other demands on their finances.

The solution

This scenario has prompted many healthcare authorities to look for more cost effective and efficient means of supplying heat and hot water.

The type of CHP and community heating schemes offered by Vital Energi are ideal for this environment because as well as offering reduced heating and electricity bills, hospitals can also benefit from lower operational and maintenance costs too.

Vital Energi's understands the needs of the healthcare sector, having worked on community energy projects at a number of major UK hospitals, including Birmingham New Hospital and Mayday Hospital in Croydon.

Cutting energy bills is a priority for many hospitals and Vital Energi are perfectly equipped to help install the technology that can help make these savings possible.
