3 Background According to the Carbon Trust, the UK s healthcare sector spends more than 400 million per year on energy & total energy used by the UK Health services for 2013/14 was GWh. NHS England CO2e emissions from 1990 to the present day & the required trajectory.
4 RMH & Site Description The Royal Marsden Health (RMH) Trust: One of London s NHS Trusts with Two hospitals located at Chelsea & Sutton. Care for over 40,000 patients/year from across the UK and abroad. Most of the areas (on both sites) operate on a 24 hours, seven days a week basis. Medical activities & services differ between wings with units such as surgery, intensive care units and X-rays units, plus consultant rooms and patients wards. The Trust has an overall carbon foot print of 14,341 tonnes CO 2 e across a gross area of 61,133 m 2.
5 Technical Feasibility Study Technical feasibility study originally completed as an MSc project. Aim: The main aim of the study was to identify energy saving methods and strategies with lower financial implication on the hospital budget.
6 Methodology Steps followed: Analysis historical energy data to establish base lines and energy saving targets that are in line with the NHS Carbon Policy. Survey of buildings and systems at the site to determine the loads and energy breakdown. Investigation of efficiency improvement solutions and potential energy saving measures Economic and environmental evaluation of measures. Generation of quick win and long term energy saving measures.

8 Carbon Management Strategy The Trust uses over 42% more than a Typical Practice hospital and up to 54% more than for a Good Practice hospital. NHS England carbon reduction target of 33% by 2020 compared to the 2007 emissions. To achieve the 33% reduction: Absolute reduction of 2,221 tco2e in 2020 over base line year BAU emissions would demand Upto 4,877 tco2e reduction in Relative emissions reduction target 52%.

11 Prioritised Measures Decommissioning of old systems & replacement of the steam boilers with more energy efficient heating systems- Potential of onsite CHP Generation Lighting upgrade. Energy efficient improvement measures to the Medical gas systems. Improving system efficiencies of the IT and data centres. Enabling better efficiencies from the existing PV Arrays
12 Existing Heating System Existing heating system- Over 40 years old dual fuel steam boilers running on gas or gasoil End of life expectancy hence a replacement would be required. 60% average seasonal efficiency & 40% at part load. Condensation return losses = 10% Very expensive to maintain and operate A more efficient PHWS, will provide the potential for improving the fuel efficiency by 20% and reduce running cost. Improving the boilers efficiency by 20% = annual cost saving of 96,000 in gas bills = reduction in carbon emissions by 463 tonnes CO 2 e of which equates to 21% of the Trust s reduction target.
13 Average Monthly Load Profiles 2013 HH- consumption data for gas and electricity used to calculate the monthly averages over a 24 hour period On average considerable demand for heating & power all year with similar trends.

15 Summary of CHP Savings Economic and environmental analysis revealed that EDINA 600 kwe in heat led control mode is the best option of the three investigated models.

16 Lighting Upgrade Lighting survey revealed inefficient fluorescent lamps with no dimmers or any mean of automatic controls. Each 4ft length fluorescent tube is rated at 36 W, with 4 W losses through the ballast control gear (a total of 40 W). Equivalent LED tubes have power demand of 16.5 W with negligible losses, reduced maintenance costs and life span of 30-50,000 hours potential reduced ongoing maintenance costs for labour, materials and waste disposal. Proposed solution: To replace fluorescent tubes with energy saving LED or T5 tubes in areas with a minimum of 15 hours consumption like corridors and wards.

Variable Speed Drive (VSD) compressors and Fans: Compressors Full Load operation 2 x 30 kw compressors, but actual demand is 65% lower than exiting capacity- based on 0.65 m 3 /min. VSD can help achieve savings of: 52,596 kwh/year, 5,785 on electricity bills annually ( at 11 pence/kwh) Equivalent to 28.5 tonnes CO 2 e annually.

21 Summary Energy usage at RMH is approximately 42% and 54 % above the typical and good practice Benchmarks (based on the CIBSE benchmarks) for hospital of this type, respectively. The hospital strategy for energy management has been developed to meet the NHS England Footprint reduction target of 33% by 2020 based on the 2014 baselines. As a result it is predicted that the Trust would need to achieve: An absolute reduction of 2,221 tonnes CO2e by 2020 over the base line of year The assessment of the site energy breakdown identified the highest percentage of energy use is for Space heating (38%). DHW, lighting and HVAC are also areas with high energy use, 24 %, 14 % and 8 % respectively.
22 Summary-Cont. Energy saving measures were identified and the ones with the highest costs savings are: Decommissioning of old heating systems & replacement with CHP system Lighting upgrade. Energy efficient improvement measures to the Medical gas systems. Improving system efficiencies of the IT and data centres. Enabling better efficiencies from the existing PV Arrays. Potential saving of 3,109 tonnes CO2e and overall cost saving of 700,000 per year could be achieved by implementing the recommended energy conservation measures. This saving would help the Trust achieve greater carbon savings compared to its reduction target of 2,221 tonnes CO2e by 2020.
