Energy Solutions for Healthcare Facilities
Healthcare organizations face unique challenges in energy management as they operate around the clock. They rely on a constant and dependable energy supply to deliver uninterrupted patient care, making energy management critical for seamless operations.
In the past, sourcing commodities was the primary focus of energy management solutions for hospitals and other healthcare facilities; however, many viable options are available today to support various objectives, including resiliency requirements, financial goals, sustainability initiatives, environmental concerns, and optimizing energy and usage across campus settings. With market changes like energy deregulation, healthcare organization mergers, advancements in energy technology, and a strong emphasis on sustainability, healthcare facilities now confront complex procurement decisions.
For healthcare facilities, a reliable energy supply directly impacts patient comfort and the overall quality of care. At Freedom Energy, we offer comprehensive energy solutions to address the unique challenges hospital campuses, clinics, and specialized care centers face.
Energy Challenges Faced by Healthcare Facilities
Healthcare organizations have unique energy challenges including:
- Sustainability commitments: Many hospitals are under increasing demand to be cognizant of their carbon footprint and the harmful impact emissions can have on patient health and the environment at large.
- Limited capital: Providing the best possible patient care means investing significant capital, which can make it challenging to finance additional energy projects.
- High energy costs: Most healthcare facilities spend over $3 per square foot annually on energy, making healthcare one of the most energy-intensive industries.
- Risky outages: Resiliency is critical. Hospitals operate 24/7 and an outage can severely impact patient care. Backup power sources, such as utilizing generators or battery storage, are important considerations for the energy portfolio.
