Abstract | This research investigates the challenges and opportunities in energy management within healthcare facilities, focusing on the New Delhi and Gurugram region in India. Utilizing qualitative semi-structured interviews with five healthcare professionals, including anaesthesiologists, dental surgeons, dentists, ENT doctors, and gynaecologists, the study explores their perspectives on energy consumption, technological advancements, regulatory compliance, and societal implications. The data analysis reveals that healthcare facilities face significant challenges in energy consumption, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The integration of renewable energy sources, optimization of energy storage, and predictive analytics emerges as crucial areas for future research. The theoretical framework emphasizes the interconnectedness of technological innovations, organizational considerations, and regulatory landscapes. Findings suggest that an integrated energy management system, incorporating advanced technologies like IoT sensors and AI-powered analytics, is essential for optimizing energy consumption patterns At a managerial level, the study emphasizes the importance of conducting cost-benefit analyses, evaluating return on investment, and promoting an energy-efficient culture within healthcare organizations. The societal and environmental implications of healthcare underscore the necessity of regulatory compliance and a shift towards sustainability reporting. In Delhi, several regulatory compliance measures, such as mandatory solar panel installations, are observed in line with national guidelines for green and climate-resilient healthcare facilities. To achieve sustainable and efficient energy management in healthcare facilities, the study recommends a holistic approach that takes into account advanced technologies, organizational culture, and regulatory compliance. The research contributes to the existing literature by providing comprehensive insights into the various aspects of healthcare energy management, paving the way for future research directions and practical implementations. |
