Energy & Atmosphere

Energy Reduction

• Energy performance has been optimized by computer modeling the HVAC system, windows, insulation, lighting, and other components of the exterior envelope. This modeling helped in the selection of efficient systems that provide energy savings of over 25% from the baseline design.

Green Power (35% offset)

• To encourage the development of renewable, low-polluting energy technologies, Green-E certified renewable certificates have been purchased from Renewable Choice Energy to offset 70% of the projects annual electrical consumption over a two year period.

Solar Energy

• The building is equipped with around 200 photo-voltaic panels on the south side roof that will turn the light from the sun directly into electricity the hospital will use!
