Data 101 Series: Energy Benchmarking – How to Conduct an Energy Baseline
Recorded On: 07/11/2017
Session Description
Don’t know your hospital’s energy utilization index (EUI) or Energy Star score? No problem. The Healthier Hospitals Leaner Energy Challenge, a program within Practice Greenhealth, has all the tools and tips to get a hospital started. Level 1 encourages facilities to establish a baseline. This crucial step empowers users to understand where their hospitals is performing in national benchmarks by guiding them through the key steps and data needed. It’s not as difficult as one may think. Level 2 continues the challenge to reduce the energy intensity by five percent from baseline with Level 3 increasing the performance to 10%.
Chris Bodkin, Data Coordinator for Sector Performance & Recognition and Iqbal Mian, Member Engagement Manager at Practice Greenhealth, team up with the EPA’s EnergyStar Portfolio Manager staff to de-mystify the process of energy benchmarking by discussing the goals, measures and calculation details needed to move along the three levels. You can also use these tools to benchmark your home and discover how well it consumes energy.
Learning Objectives
- Become familiar with the Leaner Energy Challenge (Level 1-3) and EPA’s Portfolio Manager.
- Learn the inputs to establishing a baseline at your facility and what these metrics of Energy Utilization Index (EUI) and Energy Star score imply.
- Move beyond the baseline with conservation strategies with targeted reduction measures.
