SustainMatrix for Healthcare
Is your hospital wasting energy?
Understand round-the-clock energy use, manage clinical and general waste, and compare sites per bed-day (one patient bed occupied for one day).
Explore the platformThe challenge
Round-the-clock operations, measured precisely.
Hospitals run day and night, with strict temperature and air standards and several regulated waste streams. Usage is high, and hard to compare between sites with different services.
- Energy and water per bed-day and per m²
- Clinical and general waste streams
- Procurement-related emissions
- Facility and portfolio benchmarking
- Adjusted energy performance
- Emissions reduction opportunities
Indicators that matter
How healthcare performance is measured.
Three numbers that matter most, each with what it measures and what it is read against.
236kWh
A bed-day is one patient bed occupied for one day.
0.62kg
Weight of clinical waste streams per occupied bed-day.
540L
Metered water use per occupied bed-day.
- Read against
- Read with per m² intensity, because services such as imaging and theatres vary between sites.
- Read against
- Tracked separately from general and recycled waste, so segregation improvements are visible.
- Read against
- Compared over time and between facilities with similar services.
Performance intelligence
An always-on hospital still has idle hours.
Hospitals run around the clock, but not every system needs to. Comparing hourly load with scheduled activity shows what can be set back safely, measured per bed-day.
ReadThe line is the hospital’s load across a typical weekday. The shaded area is theatre ventilation running outside scheduled sessions.
Find the load an always-on hospital does not need.
Hourly load against scheduled clinical activity, with energy per bed-day as the headline indicator.
Night base load and out-of-session ventilation become visible savings you can act on.
Clinical safety settings always come first. Only non-clinical and out-of-session loads are flagged.
Relevant capabilities
The platform, applied to your operations.
The same governed engine across sectors, configured with the indicators and comparisons you need.
Energy management
Base load, peaks and intensity by facility.
Waste management
Clinical, general and recycled streams by facility.
Water management
Use and intensity, with unusual patterns flagged.
Supplier intelligence
Procurement-related emissions and supplier data quality.
Portfolio benchmarking
Facilities compared on healthcare-relevant indicators.
What changes
Outcomes your teams will notice.
Lower base load
Out-of-hours consumption becomes visible and manageable.
Better waste segregation
Clinical and general streams are measured separately.
Fair facility comparison
Sites are compared with peers that share their profile.
Clear reduction priorities
Procurement and estate emissions are seen together.
Questions
Common questions from healthcare teams.
How are hospitals with different services compared?
Comparisons use indicators such as kWh per bed-day and per m², and are made between facilities with similar services and operating patterns. The basis of each comparison is stated.
Are procurement emissions included?
Yes, as part of Scope 3. Categories can start from spend-based estimates and improve as supplier data becomes available.
Can clinical waste streams be tracked separately?
Yes. Each stream is recorded on its own, with weights and contractor records kept as evidence.
