I t is pretty warm in the control room between the two CT scanners in the x-ray department of Holstebro Hospital. A score of computer screens displaying black and white images of lungs, kidneys and bones are being closely studied as patients are scanned by the machines, which can reveal such disorders as cancer, cerebral haemorrhage, complicated fractures and much more. "These machines are some of the really big energy consumers," says Mogens Thomsen. As energy consultant in the region's construction department, it is Mogens Thomsen's responsibility to introduce an entirely new computer system which will monitor the Central Denmark Region's energy usage everywhere from offices and residential units to the control room in which we are standing. "We need a tool which will allow us to keep track of things all the time it is hard to do something about a problem if you don't know anything about it," he explains. The system is so sensitive that he and his colleagues can monitor both whole buildings and individual rooms, and can take action if consumption levels get out of control, or seem illogical. "You might for example wonder why some buildings use 30 percent of their energy at night, while they are empty. The explanation is usually that the air conditioning system is running, or a timer has been set incorrectly," he continues. If you find that kind of thing, the benefits can be considerable both for the environment and for the Region's finances. Recently, one of Mogens Thomsen's colleagues, Bjarne Christiansen, went around all the departments in the hospital to check the air conditioning systems. Over the years, many of the departments had changed their opening hours, but the settings for the air conditioning systems had remained the same. As a result, they were also running at times when the rooms and corridors were deserted. "Bjarne Christiansen's checks saved us electricity worth 135,000 euros," says Mogens Thomsen. And that is exactly what the new energy monitoring system can be used for: To catch the energyguzzlers a task which otherwise requires a lot of footwork. "We can install some alarms in the system which pop up and alert us before things get really serious," Mogens Thomsen adds. Mogens Thomsen observes the doctors and nurses working at the screens in the x-ray department. Right now, there's not much he can do about the energy consumption of the CT scanners. According to the manufacturers they must not be turned off, even when the department is closed, in order to protect the electronics. But Mogens hopes this situation will change in future. "The Central Denmark Region is not big enough in itself, but I hope Danish Regions will make a co-ordinated effort to demand a standby function for this kind of technology," he says, emphasising that the central energy monitoring system is just one of many measures which will be necessary to reduce the regions' energy consumption. 23 <a title="Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 34" href="http://epaper.mediegruppen.net/mdg/dr/4/34/">Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 34 : gReen teMa it Ecofriendly in seconds 34 </a>Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 34 - content: gReen teMa it Ecofriendly in seconds 34 <a title="Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 35" href="http://epaper.mediegruppen.net/mdg/dr/4/35/">Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 35 : gReen it by: signe markvard / photo: lars h. la</a>Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 35 - content: gReen it by: signe markvard / photo: lars h. la <a title="Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 33" href="http://epaper.mediegruppen.net/mdg/dr/4/33/">Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 33 : solaR eneRgy "It would be nice to have that surpl</a>Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 33 - content: solaR eneRgy "It would be nice to have that surpl <a title="Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 32" href="http://epaper.mediegruppen.net/mdg/dr/4/32/">Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 32 : solaR eneRgy We leave his office, walk over to </a>Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 32 - content: solaR eneRgy We leave his office, walk over to <a title="Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 27" href="http://epaper.mediegruppen.net/mdg/dr/4/27/">Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 27 : eCo-FRienDly solutions teMa "Consumption is inc</a>Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 27 - content: eCo-FRienDly solutions teMa "Consumption is inc <a title="Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 28" href="http://epaper.mediegruppen.net/mdg/dr/4/28/">Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 28 : PassiVe aiR Cooling The pentagram of by: signe</a>Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 28 - content: PassiVe aiR Cooling The pentagram of by: signe <a title="Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 29" href="http://epaper.mediegruppen.net/mdg/dr/4/29/">Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 29 : PassiVe aiR Cooling ringsted hospital Open-a</a>Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 29 - content: PassiVe aiR Cooling ringsted hospital Open-a <a title="Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 30" href="http://epaper.mediegruppen.net/mdg/dr/4/30/">Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 30 : solaR eneRgy "on an annual basis, the system pr</a>Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 30 - content: solaR eneRgy "on an annual basis, the system pr <a title="Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 31" href="http://epaper.mediegruppen.net/mdg/dr/4/31/">Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 31 : solaR eneRgy Silkeborg regional hospital the</a>Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 31 - content: solaR eneRgy Silkeborg regional hospital the <a title="Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 26" href="http://epaper.mediegruppen.net/mdg/dr/4/26/">Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 26 : eCo-FRienDly solutions The Medical Centre in Aa</a>Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 26 - content: eCo-FRienDly solutions The Medical Centre in Aa <a title="Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 23" href="http://epaper.mediegruppen.net/mdg/dr/4/23/">Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 23 : eneRgy MonitoRing holstebro hospital finding</a>Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 23 - content: eneRgy MonitoRing holstebro hospital finding <a title="Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 24" href="http://epaper.mediegruppen.net/mdg/dr/4/24/">Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 24 : eCo-FRienDly solutions 24 </a>Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 24 - content: eCo-FRienDly solutions 24 <a title="Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 25" href="http://epaper.mediegruppen.net/mdg/dr/4/25/">Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 25 : eCo-FRienDly solutions It takes many bulbs t</a>Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 25 - content: eCo-FRienDly solutions It takes many bulbs t <a title="Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 22" href="http://epaper.mediegruppen.net/mdg/dr/4/22/">Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 22 : eneRgy saVing suRpRises Today, it does not look</a>Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 22 - content: eneRgy saVing suRpRises Today, it does not look <a title="Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 20" href="http://epaper.mediegruppen.net/mdg/dr/4/20/">Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 20 : eneRgy saVing It went much better than we had </a>Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 20 - content: eneRgy saVing It went much better than we had <a title="Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 21" href="http://epaper.mediegruppen.net/mdg/dr/4/21/">Danske Regioner - Sundhed09UK - Page: 21 : eneRgy saVing H i there!
