Hardin Retrofit Reduces Energy Costs
SAVANNAH, Tenn. — Improvements made to Hardin Medical Center have reduced annual energy and operational savings by 25 percent, administrators said in a press statement on Aug. 18.
Because the hospital reduced its load on the electrical grid, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) returned $11,500 in a rebate, and the hospital received an Energy Efficiency Leader Award from Trane, an HVAC systems provider owned by Davidson, N.C.-based Ingersoll.
EL DORADO, Kan. — The Susan B. Allen Memorial Hospital recently began a $3 million energy savings retrofit project, with Schneider Electric serving as general contractor and lead designer. The project is currently in the construction phase, with completion scheduled for April of 2013.
