Hi all

I'm looking for any information on energy efficiency solutions in hospital buildings - particularly involving specific quipmnt and facilities such as sterilizers, dishwashers, and dedicated operating theatre A/C which all use a lot of energy. Also interested in waste minimization in hospitals - how this can be achieved yet still maintain infection control and high standards of health and hygiene. (There seems to be a high degree of "single use and throw away" items in the operating theatre environment, mostly for good reason, but I'd be interested in any thoughts or developments in this area). Also interested in education and training programs for hospital staff to raise awareness.

Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Mark
