Although there are many energy conservation practices which are now being applied in hospitals and academic institutions, there well be additional pressures for even further reductions in such energy use in the near future. In many instances, these reductions in energy use can be done within existing standards and do not endanger the health of persons who reside within these institutions. However, this paper highlights the fact that over-eager attempts at energy reduction may result in adverse effects on patients, students, staff, research programs, or the general public. For this reason, it is important for persons making decisions regarding energy conservation practices to be aware of these potential adverse effects and design energy conservation programs accordingly.
尽管目前医院和学术机构正在应用许多节能措施，但在不久的将来，进一步减少此类能源使用还将面临更多压力。在许多情况下，这些能源使用的减少可以在现有标准范围内实现，并且不会危及居住在这些机构内人员的健康。然而，本文强调了这样一个事实，即过度急切地尝试减少能源使用可能会对患者、学生、工作人员、研究项目或公众产生不利影响。因此，对于做出节能措施决策的人员来说，了解这些潜在的不利影响并相应地设计节能计划非常重要。
