Decarbonization in hospitals is critical for mitigating climate change and promoting sustainability within the healthcare sector. Hospitals are significant consumers of energy and resources, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions .Regularly assessing and reporting on carbon emissions can help hospitals set clear goals for reduction and track their progress.

We enable the Calvary Adelaide Hospital to be one of the smartest hospitals in Australia 🏥 Our building automation solutions improve operational efficiency by saving up to 60% energy costs. In addition it reduces staff workload by automating core building functions such as lighting, shutter control, heating, ventilation, security, and energy management.

Our Director of Energy Services, Carlton Battle, PMP MFBA will be presenting at this month's Healthcare Engineers Association of Southern NJ meeting on September 11th at 5PM EST. Register now to learn more about Improving Energy Efficiency and Conservation in Healthcare Facilities: https://lnkd.in/etcQ6CFk Improving energy efficiency in healthcare facilities can be critical to reducing costs and carbon emissions, but it can also be challenging. Modern medical facilities depend on energy resources to treat patients, and any reduction in building performance can compromise their health and safety. This means that careful analysis and planning must be done to ensure smart building systems help you achieve greater energy efficiency while maintaining optimal conditions and functionality. When analytics becomes part of your Building Management System (BMS), this is within reach. #EnergyEfficiency #HealthcareFacilities #HealthAndSafety

Meet our healthcare experts at the Canadian Healthcare Engineering Society National Conference!   On September 10th, Meagan Webb and Ryan Kennedy of HH Angus, together with Kyle Basilius of Parkin and Calvin Winquist of Island Health will showcase the Cowichan District Hospital project in Duncan BC, which is being delivered through the Alliance Procurement Model. The presentation will focus on the project goals of relationship building, net-zero carbon future, the healing environment, patient-centered design, and how these are being delivered with the hopes of giving back to the people and lands the project will serve, as well as how the Alliance Procurement Model has been leveraged to achieve these objectives. The presentation will also assess how sustainability and resiliency can support the needs of patients, their external support networks, and healthcare workers, including highlights of specific approaches while balancing energy and sustainability goals. 3:45pm ADT Track 8, Plenary Session Also on September 10, earlier in the day, look for Julie Lawson and Preethi Sethi speaking on MEIT Design in the Patient Experience, and Nick Stark on new considerations in healthcare HVAC design from CSA Z317.2 revised standards.
