Technical FAQs 3

What can hospitals do to save energy?

Hospitals should consider installing smart lighting systems, invest in green energy, solar panels and other clean energy generators. Some health systems even generate energy from the onsite incinerators they use to dispose of waste.

How much energy do hospitals consume?

Hospitals consume a lot of energy due to their complex nature and various functions. Together, they create a significant opportunity to reduce energy consumption.

How much do hospitals spend on energy costs?

Frees resources for patient care. Hospitals spend $3.16 per square foot on energy costs each year on average, and this amount is climbing steadily. These costs can have a huge impact on a hospital. For example, a 237,400-square-foot, 75-bed hospital spends about $9,800 per bed on energy costs—about $735,000 per year.
