Kettering Health Energy Audit

HEAPY conducted an Energy Audit/Assessment of the performance of several hospitals for Kettering Health, including Kettering Health Main Campus, Kettering Health Washington Township, and Kettering Health Miamisburg.  HEAPY provided recommendations for improving each facility’s overall energy efficiency.  The facility walk-through and utility analysis uncovered multiple areas where energy could be conserved.

Kettering Health Main Campus is made up of four main buildings totaling approximately 1,250,000 SF.  Kettering Health Washington Township was originally built as a satellite location of Kettering Health Dayton, and encompasses a total floor area of 206,779 SF over a single story. Kettering Health Miamisburg is made up of four main building areas totaling approximately 390,000 SF.

SUSTAINABILITY

As a first step in the energy assessment process, HEAPY benchmarked the facilities against national energy datasets for healthcare, other buildings within the network, and design targets for high-performing healthcare buildings. Possible building improvements were tabulated and investigated, then sorted and summarized for Kettering Health.  We provided two categories of building improvements: (1) low-cost or no-cost improvements are classified as energy conservation measures (ECMs) and (2) capital improvements represent a more significant financial investment.

HEAPY provided Kettering Health with an implementation strategy with recommendations for the implementation timeline for the specified projects, including Estimated Cost Savings ($/year), Estimated Investment Cost ($) and Estimated Payback (years).
