響應節能措施降低護理部門照明用電成本之改善

Measures to Reduce Lighting-Related Energy Use and Costs at Hospital Nursing Stations

背景：長久以來醫療院所除提供良好醫療技術，亦需提供舒適明亮安全就醫環境，進而造成醫院對能源需求日益趨增、用電成本支出增加，引發本專案改善動機。目的：藉由推動節能措施響應政府減緩全球暖化活動及配合醫院要求各部門需節約能源目標。解決方案：舉辦教育訓練課程及建構網路學習、整合及調整設備用措施包括燈具擺放、電源開關規劃及電腦省電模式、制定節能用電標示及建立定期稽核機制。結果：護理人員對節約能源認知由71.8%提升100%，各單位照明用電費用由16,456元節省6,248元成本下降37.9%。結論：教導正確知識後再由小處著手，藉由看似平凡動作，達到照明提高空間照度，營造溫馨柔和就醫環境，帶動醫療院所節約能源之思維。

Background: Hospitals have long been expected to deliver medical services in an environment that is comfortable and bright. This expectation keeps hospital energy demand stubbornly high and energy costs spiraling due to escalating utility fees. Hospitals must identify appropriate strategies to control electricity usage in order to control operating costs effectively.Purpose: This paper proposes several electricity saving measures that both support government policies aimed at reducing global warming and help reduce energy consumption at the authors' hospital.Project: The authors held educational seminars, established a website teaching energy saving methods, maximized facility and equipment use effectiveness (e.g., adjusting lamp placements, power switch and computer saving modes), posted signs promoting electricity saving, and established a regularized energy saving review mechanism.Result: After implementation, average nursing staff energy saving knowledge had risen from 71.8% to 100% and total nursing station electricity costs fell from NT$16, 456 to NT$10, 208 per month, representing an effective monthly savings of 37.9% (NT$6,248).Conclusion: This project demonstrated the ability of a program designed to slightly modify nursing staff behavior to achieve effective and meaningful results in reducing overall electricity use.
