Polish-American Children`s Hospital in Krakow, Poland. Project status report
- Pacific Northwest Lab., Richland, WA (United States)
- RDA Engineering, Inc., Marietta, GA (United States)
In late 1990 staff from the US Department of Energy`s Office of Technical and Financial Assistance identified the Polish-American Children`s Hospital as a potential site for application of DOE expertise to reduce the Hospital`s energy requirements. Visits to the hospital in the fall and winter of 1991--1992 provided initial scoping of the energy related activities that would be supported by DOE. In addition to reducing energy requirements, the Hospital staff expressed a need for assistance in the areas of power quality and medical waste incineration. Subsequently, a power quality study supported by the Electric Power and Research Institute has been initiated and medical waste incineration will be provided by a Polish organization. The resulting scope of work for this effort is to survey the Hospital`s thermal energy supply and demand systems to identify no-cost and low-cost measures that will reduce the Hospital`s energy requirements. Applicable measures would then be demonstrated in the Hospital through a partnership with US and Polish organizations and a sister hospital in the United States.
