  2. Springfield Hospital We go where the savings are • Originally built in 1928; multiple subsequent additions • 115,000 square feet; 4 floors • 25 licensed beds • Onsite laboratory • Mobile MRI • 192,000 BTU/sf/yr (site); 386,000 BTU/sf/yr (source) • 12,606,000kBtu fuel, 2,766,000kWh annually

  3. ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager We go where the savings are

  4. Chasing ENERGY STAR Rating We go where the savings are • ENERGY STAR registration requires a score of 75 • Reverse engineer the gap from 60 to 75 • Requires reducing kBtu/ft2 from 192 to 168, or 2,760,000kBtu (12.5% reduction) • 19,000 gal. #4 oil, 800,000kWh, or a combination thereof • Need accurate and timely reporting from electric utility and all other energy providers • The bar is raised as more hospitals become more efficient

  5. How Do We Get There? • Working relationship with Facility Director is key to successful energy management & energy efficiency projects • Lighting & HVAC are primary focus • Kitchen holds some opportunity (exhaust hoods, refrigeration, appliances) • Continuous tracking of all energy sources • ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager (ESPM) initial benchmarking in 2011; updates periodically

  6. What is the Process? We go where the savings are • Identify potential energy efficiency projects & initiatives • Retrofit • New Construction/Market Opportunity • Prioritize based on need, savings potential, and budget • Implement • Monitor results

  7. Energy Action Plan (EAP) We go where the savings are Energy Action Plan

  8. Project History We go where the savings are

  9. Financing Options – How Do We Pay For It? • Annual Budget Process – CAPEX • Debt Financing • Bank Loans • VEDA • Efficiency VT Energy Loan Guarantee Program • Efficiency VT incentives • Future – Small/Med. Hospital Revolving Loan Fund?

  10. Summary We go where the savings are • ESPM to track total energy use and benchmark against others • Refresh ESPM as energy efficiency measures are completed and as new energy consumption data becomes available • Utilize available resources to identify and develop projects • Implement projects as budget allows • Financing options available
