Toolkits designed to help healthcare facilities reduce energy

The Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care launched two new interactive toolkits for healthcare


The Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care launched two new interactive toolkits aimed at helping health care facilities reduce energy and water consumption, according to an article on the Energy Manager Today website.
