Modeling Hospital Energy and Economic Costs for COVID-19 Infection Control Interventions 2020-08-24 .txt text/plain 5088 317 47 The objective of this study was to assess the energy demand and economic cost of two hospital-based COVID-19 infection control interventions. Hence, hospital operations require the assessment of energy efficiency when evaluating Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID19) intervention measures, due to COVID-19 being caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Disease Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). As potential infection control interventions for COVID-19 are considered, information that pertains to energy consumption at hospitals provides additional context on costs related to implementation of mitigation strategies for person-to-person transmission, as well as environmental contamination. This paper evaluates the energy implications and impact of NP and XP-UV infection control measures on decreasing secondary transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in acute care hospitals. 21.20178855 doi: medRxiv preprint This study seamlessly combines projections of COVID-19 hospitalizations, evaluation of energy use, and the impact of infection control measures among three different hospital sizes. ./cache/cord-299635-bxdf27sv.txt ./txt/cord-299635-bxdf27sv.txt
