Thompson Health Leverages Energy Efficiency to Enhance Performance
Canandaigua, N.Y., Jan. 3, 2008 — Thompson Health, located in Canandaigua, N.Y., is implementing a range of energy efficiency measures to reduce energy costs by $300,000 annually, reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 15 percent and improve the quality of patient care.
“This project represents yet another opportunity for Thompson to reduce expenses and improve the environment of care for our patients,” said Deborah Weymouth, Senior Vice President for Finance and Operations at Thompson Health.
The project will improve the air quality in operating rooms and patient rooms and keep the hospital comfortable even in extremely hot weather. This is important for patient comfort and staff productivity and performance. Investment costs will be fully offset by energy savings and grants from the New York Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and Rochester Gas and Electric (RGE).
The project, scheduled to be completed in January, 2008, includes installation of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and energy management systems, provided by Trane under a comprehensive, performance-based contract. Trane offers unique indoor air quality solutions that maintain specific temperatures and air quality standards in all areas of the facility, including highly sensitive areas such as surgical suites and intensive care units. These solutions aid in infection control, increasing comfort and productivity while reducing risk.
