Energy survey study and report of hospitals in Chicago: South Suburban Hospital: Final report
This study is part of a three-phased demonstration project to reduce energy consumption in hospitals through practical life-cycle/cost-effective modifications and alteration. Funds for the demonstration project are provided by the American Hospital Association (AHA), the Department of Energy (DOE), and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). A thorough study and evaluation of all building systems is made to identify opportunities for reduction in energy consumption and to determine the most cost effective approaches to energy conservation. The primary objective of the study is to investigate and analyze energy usage of the facility and to identify all life cycle, cost-effective changes required to effect a reduction in energy consumption. For the purpose of economic evaluation of the energy conservation projects identified, life-cycle cost and simple payback periods are used. Energy conservation measures with simple payback periods exceeding five years were dismissed from further detailed study.
