How can you account for the variables of new and consolidated facilities' infrastructures and cooling water systems and maintain efficiency and equipment reliability and safety, while reducing operating expenses?
According to an article on the Health Facilities Management website, first discuss your goals with the healthcare organization's leadership team. Then start a benchmarking program to assess your goals and monitor the progress.
Benchmarking strategies should address:
• Economic benefits, such as water and sewer, energy and chemical costs as well as water loss and labor savings
• Environmental benefits, such as water and greenhouse gas emission reductions
• Social benefits, such as worker and patient health and safety, and regulatory compliance
