Hospitals have round-the-clock operations and diverse energy requirements. As NUHS grows and healthcare demand increases, meeting future needs must integrate with responsible energy management. To move towards sustainability and resiliency, we are working to reduce the intensity with which we utilise resources, focusing on being as efficient as possible.
NUH-OSS team leading the OT air change rate reduction project
NUH implemented an initiative - a reduction in air change rates in operating theatres when not in use.
We have begun replacing existing lighting with LED types in our various healthcare institutions, with target completion in 2030.
To date, NUHS has installed 550 solar photovoltaic panels on our rooftops. An additional 1,550 panels will be installed to further expand our solar energy generation capabilities. Solar evacuated tube collectors have also been implemented to harness the sun's energy for water heating purposes, supplying 100% of NTFGH and JCH’s hot water needs.
We have installed water-efficient fittings in washrooms, such as conventional flush sensors with smart sensors. To reduce reliance on non-potable water sources, we harvest rainwater for reuse in landscaping our campuses.
