Measures to save energy in the Jipijapa Hospital based on the ISO 5001 standard

Abstract

The objective of this research article was to describe the measures to save energy in the Jipijapa hospital based on the ISO 5001 standard. To achieve this objective, the present investigation was framed within the qualitative paradigm, under the interpretive approach, therefore, It will be a documentary-bibliographical type of research. In this way, the criteria used for the selection of the material consulted were, among others, the relationship with the research topic, year of publication from 2017 to the present, relevance and pertinence. Finally, the bibliometric analysis allowed the selection (05) scientific publications, to be considered in the analysis of the results since they are under the aforementioned selection criteria. It is concluded that although the Health subsector has a lower participation in the final consumption of energy compared to other sectors, it is characterized by being a public service of social interest, which denotes an evident management deficit, distribution of resources, inefficient use of energy and problems of hygrothermal habitability. The implementation of a system under the ISO 50001 Energy Efficiency Standard optimizes the correct use of energy in any health center. The specific knowledge of each level of integration from the hospital building point of view, allows to determine the energy demand, the environmental impact and the possible savings potential of each one of the specific areas of the establishments of the health network.
