Towards a Sustainable Triad

Abstract

This chapter delves into the concept of a “sustainable triad,” which synergistically combines energy management systems (EMS), smart cities, and green healthcare initiatives to address the environmental challenges faced by urban centers. Firstly, the chapter explores the significance of EMS in optimizing energy consumption and reducing carbon footprints within various industries. By integrating EMS, healthcare institutions can efficiently monitor and control energy usage, identify areas of inefficiency, and adopt renewable energy sources, thus contributing to greener practices. Secondly, this chapter delves into the role of smart cities in promoting sustainable urban development. By harnessing cutting-edge technologies such as the internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence, smart cities can optimize energy distribution, transportation, and infrastructure.
