Hospital Executives and Board Members need a “Road Map” to help them plan projects that will reduce energy consumption, lower bills and enable savings to be channeled towards lowering health care costs. As large energy users with tight budgets, this expertise will grow in importance for hospitals over multiple years. Energy projects are a win for the environment, a win for job creation and a win for hospitals that want to lower costs and provide better environmental conditions for patients and staff. The seminar will help the executive suite take the first step to develop an Energy Efficiency Facility Master Plan for their institution and develop the multi-year strategy.
