摘要: Abstract The energy use in the world is increasing significantly owing to increase per capita consumption of and growing population. Due increased demand depletion existing fossil fuel based sources, it required more efficient. Researches show that, hospitals represent approximately 6% total utility buildings sector. Heating, Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are major part electrical at hospitals. In this paper, research papers practical studies on efficiency saving potentials HVAC presented. Under following sections, latest literatures including articles, conferences, e-books, handbooks company reports interested efficiency, management summarized. Variant Refrigerant Flow (VRF) technology enables greater cost savings compared with traditional also introduced. This detailed review focuses payback periods some projects installation cogeneration, trigeneration, chiller, new burners, heat exchangers steam trap systems.
