It has been estimated that, hospitals alone, consume approximately 15% of all energy used in the Nation's commercial structures, and thus have a large potential for energy conservation. The 221 Health Care Facilities responding to the questionnaire in this project with energy consumption data consumed 16.0 trillion Btu in 1978. If only a 5% overall savings could be accrued, this would mean the conservation of 800 billion Btu of energy annually. For those 221 hospitals it would also mean a savings of approximately $2,660,000 at 1978 energy price levels.
