TOPIC OVERVIEW<\/strong>
\nOver 3,000 hospitals have used EPA\u2019s Portfolio Manager to rate energy performance, manage energy and water consumption, and track carbon emissions, making it the most widely used performance tool of its kind in the industry.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nThe algorithm used to create the acute care hospital ratings is based on hospital energy data that was collected in 1997. While this was the largest publicly available dataset on hospital energy use at the time, EPA is becoming concerned that it may be out of date. In order to protect the credibility of the ENERGY STAR brand, EPA may consider discontinuing the hospital rating if new data cannot be collected.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nEPA began collaborating with the American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE) on a new expanded energy survey to avoid this outcome. GGHC invites you to participate in ASHE\u2019s energy survey to help save and improve the only publicly available, free-of-charge, national energy performance rating system for hospitals.
\n\u00a0
\nNew ENERGY STAR scores will be more accurate, provide greater value for investment decisions, and better reflect the latest trends in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.\u00a0 But before that can happen, ASHE needs your data!\u00a0 All surveys shared by ASHE to the EPA will be anonymous.\u00a0 \u00a0ASHE has extended the survey deadline to September 17.\u00a0 You do not need to be a member of ASHE to participate. The survey can be downloaded at http:\/\/www.ashe.org\/ashe\/facilities\/energysurvey.html<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0EPA is offering the Green Guide <\/em>community a special webinar to learn how you can participate in this critical energy survey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
