  1. Kansas H2E Intern Program H2E Workshop – December 6, 2007K-State Pollution Prevention InstituteRyan Hamel

  2. H2E Intern: Lindy Pope Via Christi Regional Medical Center • Located in Wichita, KS • Researched energy use reduction • Focused on St. Francis campus • St. Francis is a 1,450,000 sq. ft. Level-1 Trauma Center

  3. Summer Focus Energy Consumption Audit Light Audit Air Audit Employee Awareness Total Savings

  4. Energy Consumption Audit 12 months of energy data was collected for Good Shepherd, Our Lady of Lourdes, St. Francis, St. Joseph, and 30 other locations owned by Via Christi. The 4 main buildings were placed into Energy Star’s Portfolio Manager to get a benchmark reading.

  5. St. Francis’ meters were separated into categories based on: the location they served, what events happen in those locations, and $ per square foot. This information was collected to allow the hospital to focus their energy conservation on locations where they use the most energy. An example of the final spreadsheet can be seen below: Energy Consumption Audit

  6. Overall higher lighting levels than needed Recommendations: ¼ Delamping - 25 over lit locations or low traffic hallways Turn off certain lights during the day - 21 locations Achieve through timers or a Building Automation System 21 timers are needed: a purchase price of $630 Benefits Savings of $5,793.27 and 125,068 kWh per year Removal of 336 lamps Light Audit

  7. New Lamp Purchases A list of the current lamp purchases for St. Francis and St. Joseph was reviewed to determine if better options exist. 11 lamp types were identified that should be changed. The new lamps reduce electricity, lamp disposal, mercury, and/or maintenance costs T-8: 38,350 to 45,950 T- 8’s in the 4 main buildings Savings: $81,920 to $97,302 in electricity per year 1,638,387 to 1,946,005 kWh per year 69,030 to 82,710 mg of mercury

  9. Dimming controls offer occupants more control. They can be used in patient rooms, offices, and exam rooms. Patient rooms Implement dimmers during renovations or new construction. There are 730 patient rooms. The chart below shows the estimated savings per year if dimmers were placed in patient rooms. Dimming Controls

  10. Air Audit Equipment used: UE Systems 9000 Ultrasonic Leak Detector Compressed Air 20 leaks for a total loss of 74.8 CFM Total loss of $7,862.98 and 157,260 kWh per year Medical Air 11 leaks for a total loss of 22.9 CFM Total loss of $3,009.06 and 60,181 kWh per year Steam 5 leaks for a total loss of 35.12 lb/hr Total loss of $3,999 and 97,011 kWh per year Total: $14,871 and 314,452 kWh per year

  11. Product Savings (1 unit per year) Total Savings (per Year) CRT/LCD Monitor $8 $4,800 TV $3 $2,190 Vending Machine $140 $10,500 Computer $6 $3,600 LED Exit Signs $12 $6,000 Other products: Copiers, printers, refrigerators, DVD’s, fax, and food service equipment Total Savings: $27,090 per year 500,000 kWh per year Energy Star Products

  12. This free software from Energy Star puts all monitors on the network into sleep mode after a pre-determined time. Estimated savings per monitor: $10 - $20 Total Savings (based on 1,500 monitors): $15,000 to $30,000 per year 300,000 to 600,000 kWh per year Cisco Systems Success Story: 20,000 monitors Total savings of $528,000 or $26 per monitor per year Only 16 hours of IT time to implement Source: www.energystar.gov/ia/products/power_mgt/CiscoByline31502v6.doc Monitor Power Management

  13. Energy Awareness Program Newsletter Ad Makes sure employees are an active part of energy savings. Fact Sheets Will remind people of energy conservation acts and benefits. Posters Constant reminder to turn off the lights and office equipment at night. Total Estimated Savings (from Energy Star): $30,000-$76,000 per year 600,000-1,520,000 kWh per year
