The 274-bed facility will use Honeywell's building management solutions to improve energy efficiency and operational performance.
Honeywell has been selected as the building automation provider for the new Melton Hospital, Victoria’s first fully electrified hospital.
The 274-bed facility will use Honeywell's building management solutions to improve energy efficiency and operational performance.
Under a 25-year contract, Honeywell will install its Honeywell Forge enterprise performance management software, which will optimize energy consumption, safety and maintenance.
The hospital will be powered entirely by electricity, reducing emissions and supporting Victoria's goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
Honeywell Forge will also enable condition-based maintenance, increase system resiliency and reduce energy costs. Its machine learning capabilities will automatically adjust the hospital's energy usage to achieve optimal savings without compromising air quality.
The hospital will also incorporate Eco-Sustainable Development (ESD) technology to maximize energy and water efficiency.
Meanwhile, Melton Hospital will offer a 24-hour emergency room, obstetrics and gynecology and neonatal services, mental health care, radiology and a new education center for healthcare professionals. The hospital is delivered through a public-private partnership, with Western Health operating clinical services and Exemplar Health overseeing the design, construction and maintenance of the hospital.
