Synopsis
Rising energy prices have become an enormous factor contributing to
recent surges in the cost of operating hospitals and other health care facilities.
This is the first book ever to specifically address this growing area of concern,
and to offer practical solutions tailored to meet the special needs of such facilities.
Benefits
The author, V. Daniel Hunt, covers all phases of how to plan and carry out
a successful energy cost reduction program for operating hospitals and other health
care facilities, including: - How to collect and assess meaningful
energy usage and cost data
- How to determine which conservation technologies
are applicable
- How to realistically comply with ventilation standards
- How to economically justify an energy management program
- How
to take advantage of third party financing opportunities
Commentary
Several case studies detail successful conservation programs in various
types of facilities, with complete data provided on actual energy cost savings
achieved.
