BAS Increases The Energy Efficiency Beat At Sacred Heart
Sacred Heart is one of the largest hospitals in the Northwest with 623 beds and more than 1.65 million sq ft of floor space. As the workplace of more than 4,000 health care professionals and support staff, Sacred Heart is Spokane’s largest employer. The hospital’s medical staff alone is made up of more than 800 specialists and primary care doctors. As a regional tertiary health care provider, Sacred Heart has grown to serve areas beyond Spokane including regions of Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.
“The core function of facilities management is providing a safe, reliable, and efficient operating system that benefits the hospital and its patients. We could no longer accomplish this without a centralized system for environmental control. With the Metasys system installed, results were impressive with fewer hot and cold complaints, more consistent operations, and easier diagnosis of problems,” explains Philip Kercher, assistant director of facilities for Sacred Heart.
