Healthcare facility managers know that investments in better air-handling systems, improved meter and monitoring systems, lighting modifications and a variety of other measures can save energy and money.

According to the article, some best practices include:

• Explaining that the investment will reduce owner risk
• Demonstrating how an upgraded energy management system enhances the healing environment and the comfort of patients and staff
