Honeywell assists Ontario hospital in energy-efficiency upgrades
St. Joseph’s General Hospital in Elliot Lake, ON has started an energy and facility renewal program designed to reduce energy consumption and improve the overall patient care environment. Hospital officials said the program will also substantially lower greenhouse gas emissions.
The program is funded through the Province of Ontario’s Hospital Energy Efficiency Program (HEEP) and the Hospital Infrastructure Renewal Funding (HIRF). In addition, the energy solutions provider, Honeywell, will identify and implement energy-efficient technologies that will result in guaranteed savings. A wide range of energy and infrastructure upgrades may be implemented such as new lighting and HVAC equipment, improvements to mechanical systems, and upgrades to building automation systems to optimize energy management. Wherever practical, energy-efficient technologies will replace older, less-efficient systems — reducing electricity, fuel consumption, and related costs.
