CHALLENGES FACING HOSPITALS
Hospitals are facing a series of challenges;
• Increasing costs and shrinking budgets
• Aging and inefficient infrastructure
• Demands from senior levels and government to meet environmental guidelines
• Pressure of keeping pace with peers who have taken action on the environmental agenda
• Need to be seen as progressive community leaders and not followers

ECOSYSTEM’S APPROACH Ourapproachisuniqueandourresultsareexcellent
• 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
