Healthcare Facility Energy Solutions
Hospitals and healthcare facilities consume more energy per square foot than any other commercial building in the country. With the addition of new medical services, an increase in new equipment and procedures, along with telehealth and home monitoring, energy demand and resiliency will only increase.
In addition, healthcare energy solutions must be built with national industry standards in mind. For example, NEC and NFPA hospital backup power requirements state that facilities to have hospital backup power generators that can be available within 10 seconds for life safety and critical brand loads should a failure occur. This means that for any business continuity plan for hospitals and medical centers, the need for hospital backup power is especially important.
PowerSecure is focused on helping to contain the rising energy costs faced by healthcare facilities while maximizing returns on investment. We recognize that resiliency and reliability of your power system are absolutely crucial to delivery of necessary care and to the safety and health of your patients, team members and visitors.
With numerous past projects that have not only enhanced quality of care and patient comfort but also lowered costs and carbon footprint, PowerSecure is uniquely equipped to deal with the evolving energy demands of the healthcare sector.
