Description
This case study on the integrated heat, power, and cooling plants at Geisinger presents real data and cost savings benefits that resulted from centralizing its power and HVAC plant design. Geisinger’s decision to centralize yielded a savings of $2.2 million in annual utility costs. This case study will enable you to:

Differentiate between energy cost reduction strategies, including thermal energy storage, load leveling, fuel source selection, real time purchasing, and demand response.
Present the cost benefits of implementing the strategies to hospital administrators for capital funding.
Describe how good design can reduce utility costs and increase reliability.
Identify the benefits of a central plant model.

LEARNER OUTCOMES:
  • Differentiate between different energy cost reduction strategies including thermal energy storage, load leveling, fuel source selection, real time purchasing and demand response.
  • Present the cost benefits of implementing the strategies to hospital administrators for capital funding.
  • Understand how good design can both reduce utility costs and increase reliability.
  • Understand the benefits to a central plant model.
