CARBON & ENERGY REDUCTION
repair and replacement decisions through predictive analytics. Rather than facing downtime due to unexpected repairs, maintenance crews are alerted to potential problems before critical shutdowns.
Monitoring the electrical network At the same time, power management systems optimise power system performance and reliability by monitoring the electrical network and identifying issues with availability and quality. Without IoT, this information may be inaccessible and siloed. Real-time monitoring, alarming, and power quality information, provide root cause analysis to help avoid critical conditions that can cause equipment failures and downtime. Meanwhile, technologies such as microgrids, power automation, power events analysis, and condition-based maintenance, also play a significant part in guarding against outages.
Underpinning efficiency with sustainability We should also not forget the overarching need for the NHS to reach its ambitious decarbonisation targets. As the NHS identified in its Net Zero strategy, ‘Intelligent, real-time energy monitoring and control, including the use of artificial intelligence, would contribute up to 2.3%

Having previously headed up EMEA customer support and maintenance delivery at Rockwell Automation, David brings a wealth of experience in delivering customer value and improving business performance in industrial settings. Prior to this, he also held positions in the Services departments of ABB Robotics UK and MOTOMAN Robotics.
With over 20 years of Services experience, he believes that cutting-edge technology on its own is not enough to solve the industry’s biggest challenges. It is a combination of data-driven insights, innovative applications, digital services, and consultative partnerships, that will enable the next level of resilience, agility and sustainability in industry, infrastructure, and buildings. Energy efficiency, sustainability, and digital service, must all become an integral part of project design.
of the total required reduction in carbon emissions’. Investment in IoT platforms enabling integration of building energy management systems (BEMS) and BMS can support the NHS’s sustainability mandates. Crucially, these systems provide a platform for consolidated measurement and monitoring, enabling estates leaders to quickly and accurately report on crucial facets of their Net Zero progress. While the energy crisis has shone the spotlight on cost implications, healthcare EFM teams, while familiar with IoT- based solutions, need to have a clear
understanding of just how far beyond cost-saving the benefits of these systems can go. There is a growing ecosystem of participants that combine IT innovation, facilities, and energy expertise, as well as business strategy, in support of healthcare Estates and Facilities managers and owners. These trusted advisors can help navigate the digital transformation with guidance on technology selection, implementation and management, and long-term strategies, that encompass hyper-efficiency, resiliency, and sustainability – the pillars of an NHS estate fit for the future.
