A critical access hospital in western Wisconsin wanted a way to remain independent while reducing costs and minimizing emissions. Its portfolio includes a 57-year-old hospital facility and a smaller clinic of similar age. Eneration began with an on-site energy discovery at both locations, analyzing utility data and identifying seven high-impact Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs). Eneration implemented each of the ECMs and provided the hospital with a monthly dashboard to monitor energy performance based on utility billing data. With ongoing support throughout implementation, the hospital achieved a strong return on investment within the first three months.
Enhanced and optimized HVAC controls and setpoints.
Implemented boiler optimization.
Introduced pump scheduling.
