CHI officials said the savings will come from reduced energy bills. They will target heating and cooling systems first, according to the report.
St. Vincent North, a Sherwood, Ark.-based hospital within CHI’s St. Vincent Health System in Little Rock, Ark., will be one of the first to experience facility improvements. The hospital expects to cut energy costs by $76,000 per year, or 12 percent.
CHI will also use energy usage data provided through a group purchasing organization to monitor energy consumption across its 87 hospitals.
