Energy Star For Healthcare
From Builders
Healthcare organizations use large amounts of energy each year to meet the needs of patients. Industry sources estimate that healthcare facilities in the U.S. spend approximately $5.3 billion annually for energy costs alone. What's more, considerable escalation of energy costs are predicted for the near future. FACT: a nonprofit healthcare organization that saves $1 on energy is essentially adding $20 to the bottom line if a hospital and $10 to the bottom line if a medical office. The healthcare sector ranks second only to the food service sector in energy use, with the inpatient care facility being the sector's largest energy consumer and produce of greenhouse gas. American hospitals use approximately twice the energy as office buildings of the same size, and roughly twice the energy of comparable European hospitals. The use of fossil-fuel generated power used by medicine to heal is having the unintended consequence of causing additional illness and disease that then must be cured.
Detail
ESG Energy's building performance and LEED specialists will work with healthcare practice managers or administrators to establish a plan to reduce energy costs while increasing the environmental quality and infection control in the building. ESG has helped dozens of facilities reduce consumption and build a more sustainable model of operation. In addition, we have conducted environmental assessments in small to medium size medical buildings and large hospitals. We understand the need to save energy while not compromising the delivery of safe healthcare services.
