Talk

The energy and resource consumption of large medical device in radiology, e.g. CT, MRI, contributes significantly to the CO2 emissions of clinics and practices. It is therefore of particular importance to take this and other aspects of sustainability into account when purchasing equipment. The DGMP working group DGMPgoesGreen has drafted recommendations for a sustainable bill of quantities that can serve as a template for different devices and tendering forms. Both the ratings and the scoring are suggestions and can be modified for individual purposes. Sustainable aspects are included both in the total cost of ownership and in the sustainable specification, which is evaluated in addition to the actual bill of quantities.
