Healthcare properties are excellent candidates for energy and sustainability initiatives:
- The healthcare industry is growing more energy-intensive with medical technology advancements
- Providers are paid fixed rates for services, making it difficult to grow revenue to cover increased costs
However, unique conditions present a variety of challenges for “greening” healthcare properties:
- Medical facilities, especially hospitals, are subject to a range of regulatory requirements
- Inpatient facilities operate continuously without disruption and require standby power
- Systems must provide a variety of area-specific environmental conditions for medical purposes
The timing is ideal to take action:
- Hedge against rising energy costs
- Capture time-sensitive incentives
- Maximize financial flexibility in an era of tight budgets

Typical Energy Consumption
- Sterilization, clean rooms, laboratories, and other specific applications drive up energy use at healthcare facilities
- Redundant building systems found in healthcare facilities can be operated to increase overall energy efficiency1
