Abstract: According to annual energy consumption report of non-manufacturers industries in Taiwan, hospital is the second ranking of total national energy consuming reports. The purpose of this study is to analysis Tawain region-teaching hospital in energy consuming amount, kinds, efficient, retrench, and density analysis through management methods and power efficiency in hospital. In addition, the study collected the hospital construction energy management experience, as well as the other hospitals, power, air conditions, lighting devices in saving power methods and dates for analysis to encourage hospital to escalate power usage efficient, minimizing man power expenditure, deduct hospital power expenditure. By the method of management accompany with the Taiwan Power Company discount program, the hospital can save a significant expenditure in power consumption. The way to save power expenditure include: (1) Select and sign a reasonable contract of power capacity can save fundamental power price. The power saving stands high as 2.7% to 2.85% for normal usage. Choice suitable power price period calculation plan and establish ice storage device not only can save monthly contract power fundamental fee but also can apply to Tai Power for 60% off peak power consuming measures. The off-peak power consuming measures have not only preferences benefit but also have 30-35% off discount. (2) Air condition power consuming occupies 50% of hospital total power usage. If apply an efficient management can save 8-15% power expenditure. (3) Lighting device can also modify by high efficient lamination device and management measures to save 50%- 66% power expenditure. The above measures not only can save great power expenditure but also accomplish the Taiwan Power Company’s policy to shift peak power consuming loading to balance the Taiwan area power supply. This policy also reduces power plants development to eliminate the impact of environment and power-restriction in convenience.
