We consider patients, staff and environmental factors to help reduce the burden for patients while we also think what we can do to reduce the burden on the earth. In considering the environment, this is how we have become a “Smart Clinic”.
Reuse of waste waterWe reuse the waste water which is created in the procedure of making dialysis fluid for use in the artificial pond, rooftop garden, and toilets. |
Introducing solar power generation
|
24 hour monitoringWhen considering the power consumption in our facility, we incorporated a plan to cut waste by means of a twenty four hour power monitoring and management system which automatically controls the clinic’s power usage for the most efficient operation. |
We set up a biotope (an artificial pond where water plants and animals live together) at the entrance and cultivate the life in it by reusing the waste water. Also, the rooftop garden helps efficient air conditioning by cutting direct sunlight in summer.
All of our lightings are LED. Hot water used for the medical treatment and others in the clinic is from the benefit of renewable energy. We also save energy by heat conservation and are proud to contribute to the reduction of the release of CO2.
Our air conditioning system is a radiation design, which is “body-friendly” taking into consideration patients’ metabolism, and a comfortable air temperature control system which calculates the number of people in the clinic, as well as the outside temperature, to maintain a comfortable environment while cutting wasteful use of electricity by means of the latest technology.
The idea of a “Smart Clinic,” is rather new, but important, considering that the global destruction of the environment and air pollution are great problems for all of us. Safe and sound medical treatment comes first, but at the same time we feel we can do something more, so we created a “Smart Clinic.” We are dedicated to keep working on new tasks at Iida clinic to make the best possible care and service for patients and if there are any other particular suggestions you wish to make, please let us know.
