CLIMATE SOLUTIONS IN HEALTHCARE		2-3
In healthcare settings, climate consistency requires to be part of the clinical infrastructure. Patients recovering from illness or surgery, staff working long shifts, and sensitive equipment all depend on a stable, well-managed indoor climate. Yet hospital and clinic entrances, reception areas and treatment-room doorways are among the busiest thresholds in any building, opened constantly by patients, visitors, trolleys and emergency traffic.		2-3
Research reviewing HVAC use on hospital wards found that supporting stable thermal conditions was associated with improved vital signs, reduced cardiac stress, faster recuperation and even shorter length of stay for patients with respiratory disease.		2-3
Hospitals are also significant energy consumers: NHS trusts in England reported total energy usage of 11.3 billion kWh across the estate in 2024/25, at a total running cost of approximately £14bn, driven largely by round-the-clock heating, cooling and ventilation demand.		2-3
