Description
This session presents the results of the Targeting 100! Study, which provides hospitals with tools to achieve an energy use index of less than 100 KBtu/sf per year and an Energy Star rating of 100, and discusses the next steps in this research. Through a panel discussion, you will be provided with a roadmap to improve indoor air quality and energy savings in health care facilities. This session will enable you to-
• State five issues the project team must consider, based on the research results, when establishing energy utilization goals for a health care facility.
• Discuss, based on the research presented, how collaboration among the design, building mechanical system, and facility management teams is key to achieving energy goals.
• Create multidisciplinary project teams, as explained in the research, that have a clear understanding of their roles in improving energy utilization and indoor air quality in a health care facility.
• Discuss strategies, as suggested by the research, for gaining support from senior staff for addressing a health care facility's energy use to improve its Energy Star rating.

LEARNER OUTCOMES:
  • Identify hospitals contributions to energy consumption and major opportunities for increased energy efficiency.
  • Identify integrated project team and specific systems strategies required to reduce hospitals overall energy load to meet significant energy efficiency goals, such as the 2030 Challenge.
  • Identify precedents that have implemented strategies to reduce energy use and increase overall indoor environmental quality for staff and patients.
  • Identify the cost implication of transforming a traditional hospital prototype to an updated, contemporary prototype that is energy efficient, better for human well-being, and leads to future infrastructure that is more sustainable.
