Lane County Hospital in Dighton, Kan., completed electrical and mechanical upgrades throughout the hospital, cutting energy use by 12 percent, according to an article on the Energy Manager Today website.
The hospital had an outdated, unreliable electrical power distribution system that could not support newer medical equipment. Additionally, much of the HVAC equipment was failing so the hospital was facing mounting replacement costs, according to the article.
Goals of the project included upgrading the electrical power distribution systems to make immediate Wye power conversions, which support newer medical equipment.
Interior lighting upgrades were also performed to produce energy savings to help offset the life-cycle cost of the program.
