Conclusion:
The project has shown that adjusting the AHU fan speed and using additional standing fans in hospitals can yield significant
benefits by reducing overall power consumption of the HVAC system, whilst good indoor air quality standards are maintained.
The enhanced air circulation through standing fan installations reduces reliance on the HVAC system, resulting in substantial
energy savings and reduced CO2 emissions. By embracing energy-efficient practices, hospitals can cut energy expenses,
diminish their carbon footprint, and foster a healthier environment for patients, staff, and the wider community.
