Focus on HealthcareThe New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s (NYSERDA’s) Focus on Healthcare is an initiative designed to assist the healthcare industry with reducing energy costs and improving the environment while enhancing the treatment of patients. The Focus on Healthcare effort provides hospital and nursing home operators with a single point of entry to access NYSERDA programs and helps them improve their organizations’ energy performance.NYSERDA services, including energy studies, benchmarking, and financial incentives through the New York Energy $martSM program, can help healthcare facilities make informed energy-efficiency decisions and implementing energy-saving strategies. HOW CAN FOCUS ON HEALTHCARE HELP IMPLEMENT ENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURES?
Energy Efficiency IncentivesNYSERDA has funding available for energy efficiency improvements in hospitals and healthcare facilities for new construction, renovations, energy efficiency planning and studies, or equipment upgrades. Focus on Healthcare will identify the range of NYSERDA incentives available for all qualified improvements. Additional funding also could be identified from city, state, federal, and non-governmental sources. Healthcare facilities building new facilities or doing gut renovations of old buildings are eligible for technical assistance, system and equipment, and green building incentives through the New Construction Program. National Grid and NYSERDA's Hospital Partnership"Energy Efficiency for Health" is a powerful new partnership to help National Grid’s hospital customers across New York State reduce their energy usage, save on operating costs and cut greenhouse gas emissions through more efficient use of electricity and natural gas. Under the new initiative, National Grid and NYSERDA will work together to provide hospitals with individualized and targeted technical assistance as well as up to $10 million in funding for energy efficiency initiatives that will generate as much as $5 million in annual energy savings. To participate in the program, hospitals can call 1-866-774-8818. Other Potential State Assistance
