ASHE recognizes hospitals for cutting energy consumption
CHICAGO – More than 20 hospitals have earned an Energy to Care Award for their work to slash energy use,
reduce operational costs, and free up more resources for patient care. The American Society for Healthcare
Engineering (ASHE) of the American Hospital Association recognized the hospitals’ efforts at its 52nd Annual
Conference and Technical Exhibition July 12-15 in Boston.
The Energy to Care program, sponsored by Johnson Controls, encourages hospitals across the country to reduce
their energy consumption by 10 percent or more over their baseline energy consumption. Since 2009, hospitals
participating in the Energy to Care program have tracked more than $67 million in energy savings.
The free program includes a robust energy benchmarking tool in addition to the awards. ASHE congratulates
