The choice of floor surface can influence overall energy consumption and cost in healthcare facilities, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
Flooring can help facilities reduce fossil fuel consumption on a day-to-day basis in a number of ways, including:
• Brighter colored flooring in a low-gloss, matte sheen can improve patients’ visual ability and safety while improving facility energy efficiency
• Resinous flooring systems can reduce the energy used by floor maintenance machines
