Sky Tower at University Hospital in San Antonio, Texas, includes a range of energy-saving technology and building materials, according to an article on the Health Facilities Today website.
The investments will let the facility reduce annual energy use by 11 kWh, which translates to an estimated $900,000 per year, the article said.
The Sky Tower project included a high-efficiency HVAC system, LED lighting, daylighting that automatically reduces the use of electrical light and high-efficiency building materials like low-emissivity windows.
Other sustainable features include a system that collects rainwater in cisterns.
