Long-term Care Facilities
There are over 400 nursing homes located in the State of Wisconsin. As with other health care organizations, many nursing homes are challenged to deliver quality care and maintain patient comfort while minimizing operating costs. Since nursing homes are typically considered continuous-care facilities, one of the most cost-effective methods to reduce operating costs is to improve on-site energy efficiency. In order to meet patient needs, many energy systems operate continuously year-round. Depending on the size of the facility, systems that may have savings opportunities include boilers, chillers, ventilation/heat recovery, pumps and fans, domestic hot water, and lighting. Controls and energy management systems can also play a significant savings role. Click on one of the links below to learn more.
