As a facility executive, it is essential to manage a multitude of responsibilities every day. Among them are two critical tasks: increasing energy efficiency and advocating for sustainability. Balancing these objectives while keeping operational costs down and having other long-term strategies in mind can be challenging, often made increasingly complicated due to specific needs and uses of particular space typologies. We see this prominently displayed in the management and maintenance of healthcare facilities. This is why it is essential to include energy efficiency and sustainability as part of an overall holistic approach to facility management.

It’s no secret that “going green” is here to stay. More companies are embracing what it actually means to be sustainable – and it’s more than just going paper-free. While some facilities are just simply changing out lightbulbs for LED ones, they are thinking of it as a cost-saving method when, really, it’s interrelated. Making sustainable choices for hospitals and other healthcare facilities is essential because these buildings do not shut down. They welcome people every single day, regardless of the time or inclement weather. These facilities not only need products that are sustainable but will also run for a lengthy amount of time.
