ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN HOSPITALS AND HEALTH UNITS
The Neoenergia Distribution Companies have been carrying out several initiatives of the Energy Efficiency Program, regulated by the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (ANEEL), in hospitals and health care units that offer treatment to COVID-19 in the states of Bahia and Pernambuco. Actions include inspections and optimization of air conditioning, cooling and lighting of public buildings.
Thus, Bahia replaced over 5 thousand LED lamps and 150 cooling equipment, in addition to air conditioning devices - 16 chillers (water cooling systems), 72 split inverters (less energy consumption if it detects that the room requires less cooling) and 07 large splits (specific air conditioning units for large environments). Overall, 53 health care units were benefited in 24 municipalities, including Salvador.
In Pernambuco, 3,600 lamps were replaced, and 10 chillers, 19 window air conditioning devices and 50 coolers were installed. The amount of public institutions benefited reached up to five, among hospitals and management buildings of the Recife City Administration.
