Boston Medical Center will be using “green steam” to help meet its thermal energy needs, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
Green steam is a byproduct of electricity generation created by recapturing thermal energy that otherwise would be wasted.
The green steam plan is expected to eliminate 8,500 tons of carbon emissions per year.
“As a medical campus treating a diverse range of healthcare needs, it's absolutely vital for Boston Medical Center to maintain continuous and consistent heating, sterilization and comfort levels," said Bob Biggio, the hospital's vice president of facilities and support services.
