About Başakşehir State Hospital Energy Efficiency Works
Carried out at Başakşehir State Hospital, this work comprises engineering measures to increase the building’s energy efficiency.
Most of a hospital's energy use comes from HVAC, ventilation and lighting. Improvements to these systems, together with control through building automation, lower operating costs while protecting patient and staff comfort.
Başakşehir State Hospital Energy Efficiency Works is one of the reference projects in Sönmez Mühendislik's healthcare facilities portfolio. Since 1995, Sönmez Mühendislik has provided structural, electrical, mechanical and infrastructure engineering with BIM coordination for projects in Türkiye and abroad.
Approach
Energy efficiency in existing hospitals
Because hospitals run 24/7, they are among the highest energy consumers in the public building stock. Energy efficiency works aim to measure and improve existing systems and reduce operating costs without disrupting hospital services.
- Measurement and analysis of existing energy use
- Improvement of heating, cooling and ventilation systems
- Efficiency in lighting and electrical infrastructure
- Continuous tracking through automation and monitoring
Engineering
Key engineering topics for this type of project
Improvements in a working hospital must be planned so that patient care is not interrupted. Measurement, analysis and implementation are therefore organised together with hospital management.
- 01
Measurement and assessment
Consumption of existing boilers, chillers, air handling units, pumps and lighting is analysed.
- 02
Efficient equipment
Low-efficiency equipment is replaced with high-efficiency, variable-speed solutions where justified.
- 03
Lighting
Existing luminaires are upgraded to LED, with sensor-based control where appropriate.
- 04
Automation and monitoring
Building automation runs systems on demand and tracks consumption continuously.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does an energy efficiency project disrupt hospital services?
When works are phased department by department and planned with hospital management, service interruptions are kept to a minimum.
Where does energy efficiency make the biggest difference?
Heating and cooling, ventilation, pumps and lighting account for most of a hospital's consumption, so the largest savings come from these systems.
How does building automation help?
It runs systems according to occupancy and demand, makes consumption visible and flags deviations early.
