Trends in Healthcare Energy Consumption

As federal reimbursement reductions threaten to challenge hospitals' financial stability even more than in the past, hospitals are looking to cut costs through improved energy efficiency. Such measures include:

• Upgrading HVAC equipment
• Changing out chillers, air handlers and boilers
• Establishing sustainability initiatives which pay for themselves with projected energy savings

According to the 2011 Efficiency Indicator Survey administered by the American Society for Healthcare Engineering and others, cutting annual energy consumption costs by $200,000-$300,000 can have the same benefit to cash flow as generating $10 million or $15 million in revenue. So, allocating resources to programs and equipment that reduce energy costs is a wise use of capital which provides a relatively quick return-on-investment.
