Program:

The Healthcare Energy Efficiency Program is specifically designed for healthcare facilities, such as clinics, hospitals, assisted living/nursing care, and medical offices within CenterPoint Energy’s electric service area.  The Healthcare Energy Efficiency Program (HEEP) offers expert, customized solutions that are focused on improving the energy performance of buildings, saving dollars and reducing load on the grid while maintaining the high-quality operations essential to the healthcare industry. Healthcare organizations spend nearly $8.8 billion on energy each year to meet patient needs. Every $1 a nonprofit healthcare organization saves on energy is equivalent to $20 in new revenues for hospitals or $10 for medical offices.  For Profit hospitals, medical offices and nursing homes can boost earnings per share by a penny by reducing energy costs just 5 percent. On average, about 78 percent of a medical facility’s energy use is for lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Putting energy efficiency plans into place for each of these systems is a good prescription to reduce operating costs while maintaining the comfort of patients and staff. Program benefits, eligibility, incentives and services will also be discussed.
