Project Scope H20 Applied Technologies (H20) and Nazareth Hospital, a member of Catholic Health East (CHE), have partnered on a Utility Expense Reduction Program (UERP). The UERP reduces energy and other utility costs by upgrading existing facility equipment using H20's unique off-balance sheet funding program that does not require use of host facility capital funds or debt capacity. The Hospital is an award winning community hospital providing high quality care in the northern Philadelphia area. Project Summary After a detailed energy and water engineering survey, H20 replaced inefficient equipment at the Hospital with newer technology, including new chillers, HVAC variable frequency drives (VFDs) and controls, steam traps, energy efficient lighting, and water conservation equipment. Project highlights include: • Energy Savings Energy savings of 124.9 kBtu/ft2 per year and water savings of 1.8 million gallons per year resulted in total cost savings of over $950,000 per year. • Investment Under H20's off-balance sheet Utility Expense Reduction Program there was no out-of-pocket cost, capital cost or debt repayment obligation to the Hospital. H20 used its own funds to design, procure and install the entire scope of work. • Financial Return The project uses shared savings and H20 expects to recover its investment over the 5 year contract term. The hospital is receiving 25% of all utility cost savings from the project (about $250,000/yr), plus any maintenance cost savings, all with no capital commitment or investment. • Other Benefits The new electric chillers increased the hospital's cooling capacity by 50%, and comfort complaints have dropped by over 60% as a result of the various HVAC system improvements. HVAC system maintenance costs have also decreased. Hospital staff, visitors, and patients are very pleased with the hospital's effort to reduce energy use, improve air quality and support sustainability. ENERGY STAR'S Portfolio Manager tool calculated an emission reduction of over 3,000 metric tons of C02 per year and an adjusted percent energy reduction of 24%. Monitoring & Verifying Energy Savings H20 provides all measurement and verification according to the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) guidelines for the life of the project. Distinguishing Value H20 Applied Technologies' off balance sheet financing provided a unique funding method for the replacement of aged chillers and other HVAC equipment at Nazareth Hospital. The new chillers have provided a needed increase in cooling capacity, a reduction in maintenance time, and greater patient comfort. £EPA United States Environmental Protection Agency IH20 Applied Technologies Nazareth Hospital A Beacon Company A member of Mercy Health System ------- |
