How Is Energy Used In The Healthcare Sector?
Healthcare facilities must operate 24/7, 365 days a year, making them among the most energy-intensive buildings in the commercial sector. Hospitals rely on a continuous, resilient energy supply to power critical medical equipment, operating rooms, intensive care units, diagnostic imaging, laboratories, sterilization systems, ventilation, refrigeration, lighting, and digital healthcare infrastructure, as well as all heating and lighting. At the same time, they must maintain strict environmental conditions to ensure patient safety, infection control, and comfort.
Energy use across a hospital campus is highly complex, often spanning multiple buildings with different operating profiles, legacy systems, and utility meters. Heating, cooling, and ventilation (HVAC) typically represent one of the largest energy loads and can account for around half of total energy consumption, while medical equipment (e.g. MRI machines) and lighting contribute significant additional demand. By centralizing utility data across the estate, healthcare organizations can replace fragmented spreadsheets with real-time insights, enabling better operational decisions, improved compliance, lower energy costs, and measurable carbon savings.
Net-zero & Science Based Targets - where we may be headed...
Supporting healthcare providers on their journey to Net Zero is a core focus for the EnergyElephant team. Healthcare systems around the world are increasingly recognizing that reducing emissions is not only an environmental imperative but also a financial and operational one.
As sustainability reporting, ESG disclosure, and carbon reduction targets become more stringent, healthcare organizations need accurate, auditable data to measure progress. Digital energy management platforms provide the foundation for tracking consumption, identifying inefficiencies, reporting against Science Based Targets, and prioritizing investments that reduce both carbon emissions and operating costs. Better data ultimately supports better decisions – for healthcare, for budgets, and for the planet.
Data for this chart comes from Climate Action Tracker.
What are our customers organizations saying?
View case study“The software itself is really intuitive with a simple upload process. The backend support is reactive and very helpful. Without EnergyElephant, our data would likely be stored in an Excel spreadsheet which would be clunky, cumbersome, and time-consuming to use. We are definitely saving time using the software, and delivering more analytics than we would otherwise be able to. The software has had a direct impact in improving our GRESB score year on year.”
How is EnergyElephant Helping Hospitals & Healthcare Providers?
By working closely with estates, energy, sustainability, and facilities teams, EnergyElephant has developed a hardware-free solution uniquely adapted to the rigorous requirements of clinical environments.
Hardware-Free & Non-Intrusive Deployment
Hospitals house sensitive medical equipment that cannot risk interference from new hardware installations. EnergyElephant can be used hardware-free, allowing you to initialize data and onboard teams across complex estates in less than two weeks without site disruptions. When hardware is needed for realtime data, it can be easily added.
Automated Compliance (ISO 50001, ERIC, & DECs)
Simplify environmental compliance by bringing all your energy, carbon, and ISO 50001 data into a single platform. Our system provides the specific data exports and template reports required for national frameworks like ERIC (Estates Return Information Collection) and Display Energy Certificates (DECs).
Centralize Complex, Multi-Site Estates
Manage hundreds of electricity, gas, and water meter points across geographically distributed hospital campuses in one central, searchable, and secure location. Use our Global Meter Reading App to capture accurate readings via smartphone, even in remote facility areas.
Advanced Bill Error & "Unusual Usage" Detection
Hospitals require a robust monitoring system to identify unusual energy usage and pinpoint areas for improvement. Our AI-driven platform automatically detects bill errors and unusual changes in costs, ensuring you only pay for the energy you actually use.
Manage energy data and sustainability data, all in one place
See all of your utility data for cost, usage and environmental impact in one place, with preconfigured dashboards and reports to simplify how you measure, plan, track and act.
EnergyElephant can quickly identify new efficiencies across your sites and save you time on planning projects and reporting results.
Utility bill validation and management
EnergyElephant can automatically retrieve bills from your supplier and store them, whilst extracting detailed data from each bill.
This simplifies bill checking and data capture so that you can focus on more important tasks and only review bills that are flagged as problematic.
You can also upload your original bills and data in bulk and they will be processed into the system in seconds.
Easy to understand and report
We know that sustainability reports need to be shared with people who are not experts in the area. For that reason we make sure everything in EnergyElephant is easy to understand and simple to use so that you can report and communicate effortlessly.
Share access to specific assets and views with your team or download charts and data for use in your own reports or for reporting frameworks such as Task Force for Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and ISO 50001.
Accounting for energy from your on-site renewables
The ability of organizations to generate their own energy through solar, wind and other renewable sources is a key aspect of the net-zero transition.
EnergyElephant supports effective monitoring and accounting of energy exports via sub-metering.
Identify energy saving opportunities
EnergyElephant visualizes energy consumption to help you identify inefficiencies and respond to problematic trends.
Track energy usage out of hours, monitor start-up and shutdown times and quantify energy baseloads.
Assess performance of divisions and buildings against custom KPIs (such as production activity, staffing, floor area etc.) to clearly quantify efficiency across your organization.
Save money on energy and time for your team
EnergyElephant can keep your costs down by checking your unit rates against competitive rates in the market based on your actual usage.
Based on your consumption it can show you which energy sources are cheaper to use for your requirements.
EnergyElephant also monitors your contract discounts and highlights when its time to switch or renegotiate your contract.
Secure and accessible data for your organization
EnergyElephant secures all of your data in custom designed cloud services, meaning you’ll always have access when you need it.
By centralising your utilities data with EnergyElephant, With EnergyElephant you can change your supplier whenever you want, safe in the knowledge your historic and future data will remain secure and accessible.
Engage Stakeholders & Sustain Momentum
Sustainability success depends on stakeholder engagement. EnergyElephant offers public-facing dashboards to educate staff and patients on sustainability goals, helping to foster a "Green Campus" culture.
Be more sustainable
EnergyElephant visualizes your use of utilities to help you identify inefficiencies and respond to problematic trends.
Assess performance of divisions and buildings against custom KPIs (such as production activity, staffing, floor area etc.) to clearly quantify efficiency across your organization, in energy, water, waste and emissions.
Carbon price modelling
EnergyElephant enables organizations to set preferred carbon prices and see how their net-zero trajectory is affected.
This supports longer term planning for the financial costs and benefits of transitioning businesses into a cleaner, more sustainable future.
