a Pre-Conference Workshop Hosted
by Practice Greenhealth
Energy Efficiency
in Health Care
June 13, 2011
8:00 am - 12:00 pm
(click
here for program agenda)
A growing
number of hospitals are seeking to fully leverage
energy-saving opportunities in their operation & maintenance
practices. Energy efficiency and renewable energy are
mission-critical investments, enabling hospitals to reduce
current operating costs and mitigate the risks of future
price volatility. While energy is a small part of a
hospitals total operating budget, its a cost center that
managers can control with savings that go right to the
bottom line. Returns on energy-saving investments ultimately
make more resources available for quality patient care.
This
half-day workshop will cover the strategic steps a
health care institution should take to integrate energy
efficiency measures and identify how hospitals use renewable
energy technologies. Come learn about the future of energy
efficiency and renewable energy in healthcare! |

Green Healthcare Facility Tour and Cocktail
Reception
Fort Belvoir
Community Hospital
June 13, 2011
1:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Co-presented by
HDR Architecture, Inc.

Joining
the groundswell of green buildings crossing the globe, the
U.S. Army and U.S. Department of Defense will soon open the
premier military community hospital in the country and the
worlds first hospital that successfully marries the
Military Health Systems Evidence-based Design (EBD)
principles with LEEDฎ requirements. Currently under
construction, the new Fort Belvoir Community Hospital, south
of Washington, D.C., a 1.27-million-square-foot facility,
features an inpatient medical center including 120 beds,
outpatient clinical space, cafeteria, pharmacy and a number
of other services.
The tour will explore the energy saving systems such as heat
recovery chillers, water conservation technologies such as
the rainwater and condensation collection system, and
Evidence-based Design features such as interior and exterior
gardens integrated into the project, and the Sustainable
Return on Investment (SROI) analyses used as decision-making
tool during the design process. The SROI analysis, which is
an enhanced version of a life-cycle cost analysis that
incorporates risk and provides triple bottom line results,
revealed that the building will avoid 4,000 tons of
greenhouse gas emissions per year resulting from its energy
and water efficient design. These results and more will be
presented during the one-hour tour of the facility. |

Final
Program Agenda for June 13-14
(please visit this page frequently for the most current
agenda and speaker announcements)
Industry and government
organizations in the healthcare sector are increasingly
addressing the impacts of climate change and energy on
operations. The sector is amongst the more intensive
users of energy and natural resources in support of its
operations. As energy costs rise and availability of
natural resources declines, the healthcare community will
face significant challenges and opportunities related to
procurement, facilities management and design.
Recent studies indicate a
convergence of interests related to climate change, energy,
and medical and global health. This workshop will examine
the role of supply chain programs, green building design and
retrofits, and facilities management in improving patient
health and response to treatment, and reducing energy
consumption, operational costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
On June 13-14, 2011, the Association
of Climate Change Officers invites you to a series of
interactive discussions examining opportunities to modernize healthcare
institutions and facilities with respect to energy
consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and improved patient
response.
