Managing Organization:
Kantang hospital is community hospital (non-controlled building) which can serves 60 beds. Number of building users was about 154,953 people/year (staff 251 person, IPD 52 person/day and OPD 522/day). There are 2 categories in working time; the first category is 24 hours nursing, 3 shifts with 8 hours each (ER, delivery operation, IPD) and the second category is working hour 8.30 A.M.-4.30 P.M.. The hospital has the area between each buildings with the complex medical service including managing building, OPD/IPD building, emergency room, operation room, pipeline system, autopsy room, and library room. The hospital consumes 3 main types of energy which are electricity, diesel and LPG. The average total energy is 6,043,573.90 MJ/year. Energy conservation has been operating since 2010 by leading of Dr. Yodsagorn Nedsaengtip, MD. as a director of this hospital. As the result, the trend of energy dramatically decrease due to participating of all officers to drive the plan to save the energy. In addition, 3P (Place, People and Process) strategy are important to operate energy conservation. In conclusion, all of these could help save 15,008.02 kWh per year calculated as 64,834.65 baht per year. Moreover, energy efficiency index (EEI) of the hospital was 101.27 MJ per bed-day in 2013. It decreased 5.61 percentage of EEI in 2012
Energy conservation team has been set up and divided into the energy saving directing committee, subcommittee of energy saving (Academic, Public Relations, Engineering and Information Technology, Management, Environment), the Committee of energy consumption tracking, and efficiency energy using member (EEUM). In summation they are 15.2 % of the totally employees
Project Description:
Kantang hospital was established in 1940 as a secondary public health center. In 1963, it was extended to the primary public health center. It is located at around Tang Provincial Electricity Authority. In 1970, it was upgraded to Medical Center and Health and elevated to 10-beds hospital in 1981. In prior 1987 to 1989, it extended to 21 Rai by donation
and rent at KhuanThongSi Road, Trang district, Trang province, was expanded to 30-beds
hospital. It was been community hospital (60-beds) from 1996 to present.

The hospital has the characteristics of its building group which has not been located close together with the complex medical service including managing building, OPD/IPD building, emergency room, operate room, pipeline system, autopsy room and library room which can serve several cases of accident. The hospital consumes 3 main types of energy which are electricity, diesel and LPG. The average total energy is 6,043,573.90 MJ/year. Energy conservation has been operating since 2010 to present. As the result, the trend of energy dramatically decreased.
Savings Narrative:
Energy conservation of Kantang hospital has been operating since April 2010. This
hospital is a small community hospital (non-controlled building). However, the hospital did
willing to conserve the energy so energy conservation team has started operations of policy
announcement, training, investigation, doing process analysis and studying successful
hospital for creating idea and sustainability. The result of operating energy conservation can
save 15,008.02 kWh per year of electrical unit and 64,834.65 baht per year of electricity cost by non-investment
In first 3 month, the committee has launched energy conservation projects which are used less budget. In the next period, the committee will considered bigger investments which have short payback period or less than 3-3.5 years (such as changing the high efficiency air conditioning or investing on tools and machine).
Energy efficiency index (EEI) of community hospital (non-controlled building) is
evaluated by energy use (MJ) per in-patient (bed-day). Kantang hospital serve 60 beds. In
2013, EEI of the hospital was 101.27 MJ per bed-day. It decrease 5.61 percentage of EEI in
2012. (EEI standard of government hospital is 262 MJ/per-day, Source: Project of energy
using standard in industries and buildings (Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) in hospital
case) from Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency).
