Boston Medical Center, one of the city's safety net hospitals, is working to become city’s greenest healthcare facility, according to an article on the Boston Globe website.
The hospital expects a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 due to its efforts.
BMC officials say they have reduced emissions by 20 percent over the last four years, thanks to a series of upgrades to heating, cooling, and ventilation systems, and other changes. Now, the hospital is incorporating energy efficiency measures as part of a $300 million renovation of its campus, the article said.
The upgrades are expected to knock $11 million off the hospital’s annual energy bill.
