Sustainability Programme
Sustainability Programme
Malaysia committed to reducing carbon emissions by up to 40% in terms of emissions intensity of GDP by 2020, compared to 2005, during the Copenhagen Climate Summit in 2009.
The Ministry of Health introduced the Sustainability Program to the Concession Agreement for Hospital Support Services in 2015 to support this cause for all 148 hospitals in Malaysia. The main outcome of this program is to achieve:
In supporting this cause, One Medicare is a registered Energy Service Company (ESCO) and is now focusing on Human Capital development.
The Program comprises Energy Management, Indoor Air Quality & 3R Program, which started in 2015.
Energy Management
For energy management, the key performance indicators are to obtain the 3-Star Energy Management Gold Standard (EMGS) by 2020 for all hospitals. Prior to the certification program, various activities were carried out comprehensively, such as Sub-Metering Installation, Awareness & Technical Training, and numerous Low-Cost & No-Cost Initiatives.
INITIATIVES
Magnetic Bearing Chiller
Magnetic bearing chillers represent advancement in cooling technology, offering superior energy efficiency, reliability, and operational savings compared to conventional chillers. These chillers utilize magnetic levitation to suspend the compressor shaft, eliminating the need for oil-based lubrication and reducing mechanical friction. As a result, magnetic bearing chillers operate more smoothly and efficiently, with significantly lower maintenance requirements. Savings obtained by using magnetic chiller were estimated around 20%. Hospital Miri is the only hospital in Sarawak to retrofit its chiller to this system.
