Updating the ENERGY STAR score for Hospitals and Medical Offices ASHE Healthcare Energy/Water Survey Updating the ENERGY STAR score for Hospitals and Medical Offices Clark Reed, U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR ASHE Sustainability Committee member
6,000+ Organizations Partner with ENERGY STAR for Commercial Buildings ASHE + ENERGY STAR a strong partnership for over 20 years! 6,000+ Organizations Partner with ENERGY STAR for Commercial Buildings
The 1-100 ENERGY STAR Score ENERGY STAR Certified Buildings More efficient than 75% of similar buildings Uses 35% less energy (on average) One simple number understood by ALL stakeholders
ENERGY STAR Scores Measure Environmental Achievement ASHE Practice Greenhealth USGBC U.S. EPA
From 244 ENERGY STAR certified GMS hospitals now… ASHE Goal From 244 ENERGY STAR certified GMS hospitals now… 530 ENERGY STAR certified hospitals (300 more) by 2020 … ENERGY STAR certified hospitals use 35% less energy than typical hospitals on average.
Benchmarking Numbers More than 450,000 buildings have received ENERGY STAR scores Greater than 40 billion square feet 40% of commercial buildings market 4,939+ GMS hospitals (2.4 billion ft2) have benchmarked in Portfolio Manager Hospital Score Updates
How EPA Develops a Score
Developing a 1 – 100 ENERGY STAR Score Data analysis Nationally representative survey Statistical modeling Comparison between actual energy data and the modeled estimate
ENERGY STAR Score Key Principles Measured -Based on actual as-billed energy data for all fuel types -No modeled data or extrapolations Whole building indicator -Includes all energy use in a building -Captures interactions of building systems not individual equipment efficiency -Accounts for weather and operational differences among buildings and over time Peer group comparison -Compares a building’s energy performance to its national peer group -Tracks how changes at a building level alter the building’s standing relative to its peer group
What makes a survey successful? Large number of facilities The more, the better Goal: 370 GMS Hospitals, 370 MOBs Diverse group of facilities Ownership: Better to have 100 hospitals from 20 different systems then to have 200 hospitals from 1 system Geography: Ideally have facilities in all regions of the country (including Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Alaska) Answers to ALL questions We cannot use surveys if respondents skip questions Need complete energy data Need accurate values for all operational inputs (staffed beds, MRIs, etc.)
Survey Timeline
ASHE Energy & Water Survey Timeline May - August 2016: ASHE/EPA finalize survey design Sept. 1, 2016: ASHE Energy Survey issued April 28, 2017: Deadline for submitting surveys to ASHE Summer 2017: EPA begins analysis, shares hospital model with ASHE 2018: Updated healthcare model(s) scheduled release
What Makes a Survey Successful?
An ENERGY STAR Score for Hospitals and MOBs is not a slam dunk… Older data set caused EPA to discontinue MOB certification in 2013. Only You and your ASHE chapter (and good data) can make it happen by submitting completed surveys.
