Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare has been recognized for making progress on its energy reduction efforts, according to Muskoka Region website.
The Ontario Hospital Association cited Muskoka Algonquin for their energy program, focusing on the national movement to enhance energy conservation through data analysis — instead of traditional energy audits that focus on equipment replacement and capital investment, hospitals are reviewing energy trends, standards and best practices to reduce their carbon footprint.
