“…The upper tier contains water, airflow, and solar power monitoring, all of which feed into environment and energy monitoring. More importantly, consistent with prior literature, this dependency demonstrates the importance of monitoring the energy consumption of various building systems and renewable energy generation as a way of offsetting the energy costs as mentioned in previous studies [1,38,44,63].…”

“…For airflow, it is worth noting that the relationship with energy is perhaps due to smart hospitals' heavy dependency on HVAC systems. For solar monitoring, its effect on energy is two-fold based on additional literature; according to Izadi et al (2023) [61], solar PV panels can provide electrical energy for key building systems, while solar exposure, in combination with building orientation, affects hospital buildings' heating and cooling needs. As the experts interviewed are based in lower altitude and lower latitude regions in Eastern Asia, it is clearly observed in the interview process that they were experienced and aware of solar impacts on building systems and assigned more driving importance to this application when relating it to environmental and energy monitoring.…”

An increasing focus has been placed on clean energy, carbon neutrality, carbon footprint monitoring, and adaptation of building information modeling (BIM)-based facility management (FM). Hence, there is also a growing demand to evaluate and prioritize which BIM applications are the most relevant to FM and are the most beneficial in the asset lifecycle, particularly in the operations stage. To inform BIM-FM application on smart hospital management, this research introduces a one-systems method through an interpretive structural model (ISM) to establish a structural contextual interrelationship between BIM uses in the operations stages of the asset. Through a literature review, this research first summarizes facility management functionalities achievable by BIM-FM and establishes their pairwise contextual relationship. A structural self-interaction matrix (SSIM) is then established, followed by partitioning these functionalities into separate levels to form the ISM model, while using driving power and dependence to form a MICMAC analysis matrix. The finding that the BIM uses “Environmental Monitoring and Building Performance” is the foundation that enables the other functionalities whilst validating that ad-hoc operations and maintenance activities enablement has the highest driving power, and automation and robotics have the highest dependency. Among the applications, energy monitoring plays a pivotal and transitional role with a strong dependency between airflow monitoring and solar monitoring, while its performance would directly impact emergency responses.

ChronicObstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a primary cause of death in global, particularly in lowresource settings with insufficient medical facilities arising because of high costs of medical apparatus, diagnosis and treatment. The Long Term Oxygen Therapy (LTOT) is used to treat COPD patients as it has been shown to improve patient survival and better life expectancy; however, it is also an expensive treatment, making it difficult to use in poor-resource settings. This review discusses various LTOT devices and evaluates their suitable applicability in resource poor settings. The devices are compared based on their cost (both capital and operational) and performance. The article also discusses the observation of oxygen supply during treatment and the use of delivery systems.

“…A promising application could be hybrid systems combining different renewable energy sources [8,9]. Izadi et al [10] proposed a hybrid renewable energy system with hydrogen energy storage to cover the energy demand from the units of a hospital caring for COVID-19 patients. The inclusion of hydrogen for power generation in the energy mix is gradually gaining commercial attention globally [11].…”

The shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy systems represents a pivotal step toward the realization of a sustainable society. This study aims to analyze representative scientific literature on eco-sustainable energy production in the healthcare sector, particularly in hospitals. Given hospitals’ substantial electricity consumption, the adoption of renewable energy offers a reliable, low-CO2 emission solution. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the urgency for energy-efficient and environmentally-responsible approaches. This brief review analyzes the development of experimental, simulation, and optimization projects for sustainable energy production in healthcare facilities. The analysis reveals trends and challenges in renewable energy systems, offering valuable insights into the potential of eco-sustainable solutions in the healthcare sector. The findings indicate that hydrogen storage systems are consistently coupled with photovoltaic panels or solar collectors, but only 14% of the analyzed studies explore this potential within hospital settings. Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) could be used to meet the energy demands of healthcare centers and hospitals. However, the integration of HRES in hospitals and medical buildings is understudied.
