Increase hospital profit with sustainability.  We have 90+ ready to go projects to help you reduce your energy spend and carbon emissions.  Our projects are organized by project cost, energy savings, CO2 emissions reduction and break-even period.

The US Department of Energy and the National Renewal Energy Lab analyzed hospital energy consumption.  The top 3 functions using electricity for hospitals are: lighting (42%), cooling (14%) and ventilation/air handling (16%).  If you add computers at 4%, the total is 76%!  Consider adding large medical equipment and you easily get to 80%.   Heating oil and natural gas usage is simple- 56% is heating air and 30% is heating water for a total of 86%.

There you have it. .. the 80/20 rule for reducing energy budgets and your carbon emissions.   A quick note in translating these projects into Greenhouse Gas Protocol scopes.  Scope 1 are fossil fuels burned in hospital operations – heating fuels, anesthesia gas, fleet fuels.  Scope 2 is electricity.  By the way, our CarbonEMR automatically calculates the renewable energy percent of your local electricity vendor.  You don’t have to bog down your existing sustainability team with spreadsheets, we do it for you.

Being green, saves green.  We can help you increase hospital profit with sustainability.
