The Advanced Energy Retrofit Guide: Healthcare Facilities, commissioned by the Building Technologies Office (BTO), is designed for facility energy managers looking to raise the effi­ciency of their buildings and generate strong financial returns.

The guide offers information for kick-starting the retrofit process and maintaining momentum throughout the project life cycle, including planning, designing, and implementing energy improve­ment projects, according to a BTO release. The guide contains practical methodologies, diverse case studies and objective evaluations of the most promising retro-commissioning and retrofit measures for healthcare facilities.  

Direction for addressing barriers, such as limited capital and competition for resources; shortage of actionable information; and lack of specific, integrated design methods adapted to healthcare facilities is also included.
