Al mismo tiempo, los edificios hospitalarios suelen estar entre los menos eficientes en términos energéticos. Mejorar el rendimiento energético de los edificios hospitalarios existentes a través de medidas de rehabilitación presenta una oportunidad significativa para ahorrar costos y energía. Sin embargo, los hospitales enfrentan desafíos únicos, como la ocupación continua, el uso de equipos médicos pesados y estrictas regulaciones de seguridad. Además, la falta de incentivos financieros y políticas de apoyo se encuentran entre las principales barreras para la rehabilitación de las instalaciones hospitalarias. Este artículo propone una metodología de gestión energética para seleccionar las mejores medidas de rehabilitación para edificios hospitalarios. Además, el estudio busca definir un ranking de prioridades para las medidas de eficiencia energética seleccionadas en un proyecto de rehabilitación energética, distinguiendo entre acciones primarias y suplementarias. La metodología incluye un diagrama de flujo de procesos genérico, un diagrama de flujo sistemático para facilitar la toma de decisiones y dos tablas que describen las medidas de rehabilitación primarias y suplementarias.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: The building and construction sectors account for over one-third of global final energy consumption and nearly 40% of total direct and indirect CO2 emissions. At the same time, hospital buildings are often among the least energy-efficient. Enhancing the energy performance of existing hospital buildings through retrofitting measures presents a significant opportunity for cost and energy savings. However, hospitals have unique challenges, such as continuous occupancy, heavy medical equipment, and strict safety regulations. Additionally, the lack of financial incentives and supportive policies are among the biggest barriers to retrofitting hospital facilities. This paper proposes an energy management methodology for selecting the best retrofitting measures for hospital buildings. Moreover, the study seeks to define a priority ranking for the energy efficiency measures selected in an energy retrofit project, distinguishing between primary and supplementary actions. The methodology includes a generic process flow diagram, a systematic flowchart to facilitate decision-making, and two tables outlining primary and supplementary retrofitting measures.]]></p></abstract>
