Aging infrastructure, high energy-consuming equipment and 24/7 operations make hospitals one of the most energy consuming public buildings. With a mission to save energy and transform the healthcare sector, the Government of India sought to introduce Green & Digital hospitals, starting from its premier hospital All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, where a growing base of patients and power requirements were resulting in high energy consumption and carbon emissions. Hitachi India Pvt. Ltd. Infrastructure Systems Division joined hands with AIIMS hospital and utilized its proficiency in Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) to implement a host of energy saving measures, resulting in 30% energy savings and successfully achieving an ICT-based Green & Digital Hospital at AIIMS.
