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.
The Coalition’s free GHG and Water Reduction Toolkit shows where reduced utility costs can help organizations meet their environmental targets through best practice checklists, GHG and water tracking and awareness campaign materials.
With the launch of the Climate Change Resiliency Toolkit, the Coalition is offering the first interactive, online resource on climate change adaptation specifically designed for health care facilities in Canada, providing a pathway to adapt to the risks of climate change.
Hospitals are some of the most energy intense of all commercial or institutional buildings. It is estimated the Canadian health care sector as a whole spends about $2.5 billion yearly on energy, which is used for facility heating, cooling and ventilation, lighting, operation of diagnostic and treatment equipment and food service.
