Need some eco-friendly inspiration? A New Jersey hospital on the verge of going green received a $3.1 million energy efficiency award.
The Raritan Bay Medical Center received the award from the Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) to implement improvements in Energy Efficiency at the medical center's location in Perth Amboy, New Jersey.
Al Matos, PSE&G's vice president for renewables and energy solutions says, "The program , an investment approved by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities this summer, was created to stimulate New Jersey's ailing economy, reduce carbon emissions and create jobs. It is aimed at hospitals in PSE&G's service territory that lack capital for energy efficiency infrastructure development and find it difficult to make the upfront costs for needed improvements. This project is a perfect example of how being green and doing the right thing can make good business sense."
What will be improved on the hospital? A variety of upgraded technologies and systems will be installed, such as new boiler burners, cooling towers, and windows. In one hospital wing a new roof will be installed. Chiller optimization, and efficiency motors will also be installed. Lighting improvemens will also be made, along with creating a centralized building management system.
The new installations are set to be finished this year by the Birdsall Services Group. DBL Associates, Consulting Engineers, P.C. though PSE&G gave the hospital an investment grade facility audit of its energy consumption at no charge. The audit was able to identify which areas needed upgrades in energy efficiency.
