Virgin Island hospitals to be revamped to save energy

Some of the energy saving measures applied to the hospitals could save nearly $5 million annually


The Virgin Island Energy Office plans to revamp the way medical facilities consume energy, according to an article on the Virgin Island Daily News website.

Luis Hospital, Schneider Hospital, Myrah Keating Smith Community Health Center, Charlotte Kimelman Cancer Institute and the V.I. Cardiac Center all will receive improvements, though the hospitals will receive the bulk of them.

Some of the energy-saving measures applied to the hospitals could save nearly $5 million annually.

The improvements will consist of a variety of measures, including the replacement of six chillers between the two hospitals.

The project also will include the replacement of more than 6,000 light fixtures, which will be converted to LED lighting; the removal of existing faucets and toilets, replaced by low-flow alternatives; decommissioning of existing boilers, replaced by more efficient ones; and the replacement of all existing transformers.
