NHS & Healthcare Estate

CILS deliver turnkey energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions helping NHS Trusts decarbonise their estates – with no capital investment – and meet their Green Plan targets.

Our NHS-approved IoT and LED lighting solutions save up to 90% in energy costs. Deployed across multiple NHS Trusts, IoT provides measurable energy and cost reductions and additional intelligent solutions for building management and efficiency.

CILS solutions are available ‘as a service’, delivering immediate cash flow benefits.

CILS have secured millions in grant funding for energy efficiency upgrades, including £2 million NEEF Phase 3 funding for an NHS Trust. These funded IoT and LED lighting solutions will lower costs by £8.6 million and cut CO₂ emissions by 6,881 tonnes.

Operational Efficiency

IoT-enabled smart building solutions optimise and measure LED energy use, automate emergency lighting testing and reporting, integrate HVAC & BMS, and enable better space utilisation, navigation, and asset tracking in NHS estate.

Why work with CILS to improve your facilities?

CILS are a long-term project delivery partner for multiple NHS Trusts, having transformed whole hospitals, infirmaries and health centres. We install and commission Enlighted IoT – a smart building controls system, approved for NHS clients.

✔ Cash positive from day one – Our OpEx-funded ‘as a service’ funding mechanism mean clients pay less for smart IoT lighting upgrades than their current energy bills.

✔ Easy procurement – CILS are on a national framework for Smart Building Solutions Using IoT.

✔ Advanced energy efficiency solutions – CILS detailed surveys, analysis, and designs maximise energy, cost, and carbon savings.

✔ Smarter building management – Our IoT-enabled LED upgrades enable space analytics, HVAC and BMS integration, asset tracking and more, ensuring a future-proof estate.

✔ Trusted quality and service – CILS are an established partner for NHS Trusts nationwide, delivering high-quality turnkey lighting and solar PV projects, and long-term support. CILS team understand that hospitals are especially unpredictable working environments, and our delivery teams know that communication with the site staff, and adaptability are key to a project’s success.

Lower energy & maintenance costs from lighting

Hospitals and other medical facilities can reap significant energy savings from optimising their lighting.

An upgrade to LED lighting, combined with advanced IoT controls and smart sensors, constantly adjust light levels according to occupancy, task and daylight settings.

Settings can be programmed to individual areas, based on each area’s intended usage, to provide appropriate lighting for any task and schedule.

Know where to find your critical equipment

Expensive medical equipment goes missing every year; for example, a syringe pump required for chemo is around £1000 each.

Hospital staff can spend about 20 min each shift, looking for equipment they need to do their work.

With IoT asset tracking enabled, you can locate tagged equipment precisely, at any time.

Improve the environment for frontline staff & your patients

The LED lighting is flicker free and most fittings have a universal glare rating (UGR) of 19 or less – reducing eye strain, improving concentration levels, and therefore improving the working environment, staff output and patient wellbeing.

Embedded smart sensor technology guarantees that light levels are calibrated to the task at hand. And in more relaxed settings, to levels that feel most natural to the eye.

Space utilisation in real-time

Identify occupied/unoccupied areas for energy savings, safety and use data-driven information to determine the best use of space.

Using smart sensors, plan cleaning schedules to suit the use of space and occupancy. Data can also be used to contact trace occupants or locate missing equipment.

Gather valuable data-driven insight

Smart sensors and IoT systems go way beyond reducing energy consumption. Actual energy use measurement, basic heat-mapping, real-time location services, asset tracking – all can improve security and provide valuable data for building management analysis.

This is a solid basis for data-driven decision making, for future upgrades and building optimisation.

Save on heating and cooling

Integrate decarbonised heating systems such as air source heat pumps to reduce your CO2 emissions. Realise significant savings using smart sensors, to automatically reduce heating or cooling in unoccupied spaces.

These additional benefits can be delivered via software rather than hardware changes. Heating controls, for example, can be accessed via a mix of Enlighted plug load controllers for local electric fan heating and smart TRV controls for radiators.

Decarbonised heating

Integrate decarbonised heating systems such as air source heat pumps, to reduce your CO2 emissions.

Solar PV

Generate your own electricity to lower the cost of energy and demonstrate that your healthcare facility is committed to achieving net zero.
