The present paper depicts a method to
continuously evaluate the operational performance of
resources allocated to the maintenance of an AVAC
system, that provides air conditioning to surgery rooms in
a public hospital at the lowest possible energy cost. The
method combines three other methods: the “Balance Score
Card (BSC)”, the “Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)”
and the “Metrics-Merit Conversion (MMC)”. The
hierarchy is formed by 52 indicators. A sensitivity analysis
completes the decision making process by providing
guidance to prioritize improvement courses of action.
