Providing an environment that caters to patient well-being and comfort and running general medical services, places unique demands on energy usage for hospitals and healthcare facilities.
As much as 30% of the energy consumed in hospitals is used unnecessarily. Considering energy is approximately 50% of a health care facility manager's budget, hospitals can dramatically reduce their operating costs by using energy more efficiently.
