HEALTHCARE

Rising energy costs and electric power reliability are the main energy issues facing healthcare organizations today.  With oil and gas prices more than doubling since 2003, the healthcare industry has seen their operating margins suffer.  Budgetary problems on top of energy security issues following the East Coast electric grid failure in 2004 have left many healthcare organizations looking for solutions. 

In-patient hospitals, nursing homes and retirement communities use more energy per square foot than any industry in the US (Source: EPA).  Over 50% of energy expenditures within the healthcare industry are for space heating and hot water (which is used for food service, laundry, and domestic applications).  Controlling space and water heating expenses is one of the most effective ways of dealing with rapidly rising energy expenses.
