How does a hospital contract energy management company embark on the path of professional development?
As a special public building, the hospital operates uninterruptedly throughout the year. Its energy consumption far exceeds that of general public buildings, and there is great room for energy-saving development. However, the research and application of energy saving in hospitals in our country focus on the internal saving and transformation of hospitals, and it has not yet moved towards marketization.
Foreign developed countries have already formed a large-scale and industrialized contract energy management model. This new type of energy management method can not only save energy, but also reduce costs and increase revenue. Under the current policy market environment, it is possible to explore the application of hospital contract energy management models.
In view of the fact that the hospital's application of contract energy management model is still in the exploratory stage, what kind of cooperation method can reduce the risks of both parties while increasing the benefits is based on the two parties or even multi-party consultations. The hospital has decided that the energy conservation subject should lead the entire energy conservation process and need to control it by itself. Manage and do a good job of risk control.
Since hospitals have not reached the leading level in energy conservation in foreign countries, there are currently problems such as information asymmetry and unprofessional services. These phenomena are caused by internal and external reasons. The external institutional environment is insufficient, the energy-saving service industry is developing slowly, and funding Insufficient guarantees and government subsidies are the reasons for the external environment, as well as the lack of internal awareness and lack of understanding in hospitals, and the lack of specialized positions to connect with energy-saving service companies for management.
Energy-saving service company is one of the actors in the hospital contract energy management model. The foundation of its development is energy-saving technology, and the company's internal governance capabilities are also an important factor in determining development. Including administrative management, financial financing management and so on.
The development of energy-saving service companies directly affects the advancement of my country's energy-saving and emission-reduction work. Therefore, in order to improve the development level of energy-saving service companies, the following suggestions are made in terms of strengthening energy-saving technology, improving the company’s financing level, and improving project management capabilities:
(1) Strengthen research and development costs and improve energy-saving technology.
The goal of energy saving service companies is to reduce energy consumption for customers. This is also the source of benefits for energy saving service companies. However, this kind of energy saving benefits cannot be clearly measured and has certain risks. The key to the smooth implementation of energy-saving projects depends on the level of technical capabilities. The higher the level of technology, the lower the risk. It determines how much profit a company can obtain and how much investment costs can be recovered.
Energy-saving technologies need to be continuously innovated and enhance market competitiveness in order not to be eliminated or surpassed. Ways to improve technical capabilities include:
1) The Energy Conservation Association organizes activities and forums to promote energy-saving technology exchanges;
2) Energy-saving service companies may invite some technical experts to conduct technical training;
3) Cooperate with universities and energy-saving design units to introduce technical talents. For the current energy-saving service companies, they can cooperate with each other and complement each other's advantages to expand the market competitiveness and influence of the energy-saving service industry.
(2) Enhance financing capabilities and improve the overall strength of the company.
At this stage, most energy-saving service companies adopt the energy-saving sharing type, which requires a large amount of capital to be invested in each building energy-saving renovation, and the completion period is long. Therefore, while strengthening the enterprise's own financial management level, it also needs to strengthen itself. Financial strength. This is because it is difficult to obtain bank loans when one's own strength is average. If this situation continues, it will lead to difficulties in the development of the enterprise. The company's credit level can be improved and the company's sound development can be promoted through the scale of products, productization and integration of resources. It is imperative to emerge a group of highly competitive energy-saving service companies.
(3) Improve project management capabilities.
Energy-saving service companies must have good project management capabilities and risk control capabilities, because in the actual implementation process, the diversity of programs, the sharing of energy-saving benefits, and the uncertainty of income will all affect the development of the company. Project management capabilities include: project investment capabilities, project model selection and operation capabilities, and the ability to communicate well with customers. At the same time, large energy-saving service companies have mature management experience and technical advantages, and can organize professionals to other small and medium-sized energy-saving units for energy-saving training services.
