Mayo Clinic hit its 20 percent energy savings goal two years early, according to an article on the Post-Bulletin website.

The estimated energy savings at the Rochester, Minn., facility is $26 million since 2011.

The cost of recommissioning was about $1,500,000. Energy efficiency rebates totaled more than $888,000.
