2017 Kilowatt Cup Winner - Norton Audubon Hospital

Norton Audubon Hospital went big. They underwent a major renovation and, in parallel, upgraded their centralized HVAC infrastructure. The hospital built a new central utility plant that makes ice at night when the demand for the region’s energy is at its lowest and then uses that ice to chill water for hospital operations during the daytime. In addition, they have added gas fired chillers for peak periods and added in LED lighting and HVAC controls for good measure. Their efforts will yield a reduction of over 2,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide which is equivalent to 251 passenger cars removed from the road in one year, or 5,107 barrels of oil consumed. Financially, they will save over $325,000 a year in energy costs without sacrificing their high level of patient care.
