Springfield Hospital
We go where the savings are
• Originally built in 1928; multiple subsequent additions
• 115,000 square feet; 4 floors
• 25 licensed beds
• Onsite laboratory
• Mobile MRI
• 192,000 BTU/sf/yr (site); 386,000 BTU/sf/yr (source)
• 12,606,000kBtu fuel, 2,766,000kWh annually

Chasing ENERGY STAR Rating
We go where the savings are
• ENERGY STAR registration requires a score of 75
• Reverse engineer the gap from 60 to 75
• Requires reducing kBtu/ft2 from 192 to 168, or
2,760,000kBtu (12.5% reduction)
• 19,000 gal. #4 oil, 800,000kWh, or a combination
thereof
• Need accurate and timely reporting from electric utility and
all other energy providers
• The bar is raised as more hospitals become more efficient
4
How Do We Get There?
• Working relationship with Facility Director is key to
successful energy management & energy efficiency projects
• Lighting & HVAC are primary focus
• Kitchen holds some opportunity (exhaust hoods, refrigeration,
appliances)
• Continuous tracking of all energy sources
• ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager (ESPM) initial
benchmarking in 2011; updates periodically
5
What is the Process?
We go where the savings are
• Identify potential energy efficiency projects &
initiatives
• Retrofit
• New Construction/Market Opportunity
• Prioritize based on need, savings potential, and budget
• Implement
• Monitor results

Summary
We go where the savings are
• ESPM to track total energy use and benchmark against others
• Refresh ESPM as energy efficiency measures are completed
and as new energy consumption data becomes available
• Utilize available resources to identify and develop projects
• Implement projects as budget allows
• Financing options available
