CHICAGO — The American Society for Health Care Engineering (ASHE) of the American Hospital Association has announced the winners of its 2024 Energy to Care Awards.

The presentation will explore how a hospital can establish water-related sustainability opportunities, and how to balance those opportunities with safety.

This eBook features a collection of articles describing extreme weather events that have affected health care facilities across the country.

ASHE has developed 52 actionable ECMs in eight categories to help facilities management teams better manage energy use and advance your health care facility’s sustainability journey.

Learn more about how to end the use of fossil fuels at your health care facility.

This category of emissions includes fossil fuel-powered equipment performed by health care organization staff.

Carbon emissions associated with energy use are often a mix of on-site usage and off-site emissions from regional utilities can be complicated to account for.

Embodied carbon consists of all the greenhouse gas emissions associated with building construction. Learn how to efficiently manage them.

Water usage in health care organizations is a less obvious source of carbon emissions. Learn more about its impact.

HVAC equipment using refrigerants can include packaged rooftop units, direct expansion split systems, chillers, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems and several others. Different equipment systems can contain different refrigerant types with varying emissions potential.

Anesthetic gases have a high global warming potential (GWP), learn how to mitigate its impact.

This webinar, hosted by Honeywell, will help show how to manage the environmental impact of your health care facilities more effectively.

Review the certification process and ongoing requirements for the physical environment provisions of compounded sterile preparations (CSPs) in USP .

Explore case studies that incorporate healthy hydration design elements including installation, applications, and filtration.

Discover a roadmap for low GWP refrigerants used with chillers.
