Electrifying Heat in an Existing Hospital
Electrifying Heat in an Existing Hospital is a ground-breaking analysis conducted by the American Society for Health Care Engineering and Providence St. Peter Hospital that establishes the technical and financial feasibility of electrifying the existing hospital building’s thermal load.
This case study provides a detailed outline of the steps one hospital is taking to successfully achieve this feat — something once thought impractical by many in the health care facilities management field.
