Description

The Affordable Heating and Cooling Innovation Hub project will support the healthcare sector to transition to a net-zero energy/demand future. In particular it will validate the impact of emerging technologies in demand reduction, demand management, renewable energy and enabling technologies, in terms of core health services (patient and worker health and comfort), building maintenance and operations, environmental impact and financial management (including participation in energy markets).

In this technical report, four issues are evaluated for impact on hospital energy use: future climates; hospital electrification (space heating); ventilation effectiveness for aerosol distribution; and changes to the Australian Standards for sterilisation.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
