Health Clinics Subcommittee selected a scoping study of rural health-care facilities as top priority for – Focus on small health clinics, not hospitals or large health facilities – Focus on human health clinics Some research into differences and similarities between human and animal clinics. – Subcommittee may want to expand scope of the effort to include more sites and/or veterinary clinics. Staff have reached out to recommended contacts – Most have not had much exposure to small clinics Mostly larger health care facilities – Those that had suggested that clinics don’t look much different than other small retail buildings Lighting opportunities HVAC no different than other commercial buildings Not much specialized equipment, and none with significant usage Largest barrier to EE is lack of facilities personnel Do we want to feel this out more before developing a scope of work? 10
