Hospital Savings

Your hospital is commited to reducing energy consumption as a means of promoting healthier living. Click on the different areas in your hospital to discover how you can help to create a healthier planet through energy saving.

Everyone

Please shut off electrical equipment at the end of the day. This includes lights, computers, monitors, radios, fax machines, photocopiers, printers etc. Please let your engineering or maintenance department be aware of any running taps or toilets, any drafts or air leaks coming from outside, or any other energy saving ideas that you have.

Also, if you're too hot or too cold please give engineering or maintenance a chance to make you more comfortable before plugging in a heater or running your window air-conditioner. There might be a more effective and efficient way to meet your needs.

Help your coworkers and colleagues participate. Every area needs a champion or someone to offer gentle reminders and encourage others to become aware of energy waste. This would also make you an energy hero and bring you some award and recognition through the Chester Network.

Take the departmental energy challenge
