5. ECOSYSTEM’S APPROACH
Our approach is unique and our results are excellent
• Although newer equipment and lighting are good ways to start reducing
energy use, we do not focus on “off the shelf” solutions
• We review the various ways energy is generated and distributed throughout
the entire building
• The measures we propose are the result of more rigorous design work,
resulting in meaningful measures aimed at significant energy usage
reductions and supported by a strong financial case
Because of this unique, experience‐based approach, we have a track record of
reducing energy consump<on in hospitals in excess of 25%
