ASHE energy campaign focuses on patient care

Program for health facilities encourages sustainability and energy efficiency


The American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE) recently launched a five-year campaign called Energy to Care to draw attention to the importance of healthcare sustainability and support patient care through energy efficiency, according to an article on the Health Facility Management website.

According to the article, written by Deanna Martin, senior communications specialist for ASHE, the campaign is based on the idea that when hospitals generate energy savings, they can direct more resources toward serving patients.

Participating hospitals use ASHE tools to help reach sustainability goals. The Energy Efficiency Commitment (E2C) program, for example, provides hospitals with benchmarking tools to track energy use, the article said.

Hospitals can get tools to help reduce their environmental footprints on the Sustainability Roadmap website  —  www.SustainabilityRoadmap.org.
