In a forward-thinking move, Acıbadem introduced trigeneration systems at Altunizade Hospital and Maslak Hospital. This approach was especially beneficial during the unusually hot summer, where the systems’ efficient use of boiled water and waste heat recovery played a pivotal role. By channelling recovered heat to absorption chillers, these systems have enabled more effective building cooling, showcasing Acıbadem’s commitment to managing its carbon footprint responsibly.

Complementing this, Acıbadem has adopted several sustainable practices to enhance efficiency and minimise environmental impact. These include:

• Programmed operational times for lights and air handling units;
• Set fixed temperature ranges for common areas, chillers, and boilers to reduce energy wastage; and
• Upgraded air handling units in some hospitals to electronically commutated systems, which are 47% more efficient than traditional belt type systems.

Through such efforts and initiatives, Acıbadem aims to continue delivering top-tier healthcare while conscientiously managing its carbon footprint and enhancing resilience against the challenges posed by global climate change.
