Miscellaneous and electronic loads (MELs) consume about one–third of the primary energy used in US buildings, and their energy use is increasing faster than other end–uses. In healthcare facilities, 30% of the annual electricity was used by MELs in 2008. This paper presents methods and challenges for estimating medical MELs energy consumption along with estimates of energy use in a ...
