Challenges With Energy Usage
Committing to reducing energy usage by 1.5% across all CHS locations is a resource-intensive undertaking. CHS Knoxville’s low LED conversion rate was creating a lot of facility-wide inefficiencies – which left opportunity costs on the table for a clean energy technology company like ours to solve.
By addressing these challenges, CHS North Knoxville aimed to capitalize on energy cost savings for medical centers, which would enhance operational efficiency and reduce overhead expenses.
Enhancing energy efficiency aligns with broader environmental goals, furthering CHS North Knoxville’s commitment to sustainable operational practices.
Solutions to Reduce Costs
Controlling rising energy costs and CHS Knoxville’s utility budget were the top priority, and the state-of-the-art LED Lighting Services we provided reduced its energy costs and consumption by 59%. These initiatives have demonstrated significant energy cost savings for medical centers, particularly through custom-tailored solutions for healthcare operational demands.
Power of Clean Energy integrated these upgrades seamlessly with existing facilities, leveraging innovative technologies and expert project management to maximize energy efficiency.
This project wrapped up in January of 2023, and the energy solutions immediately freed up resources to provide the best care for its patients now, and in the future.
Benefits of Energy Costs Savings for Medical Centers
