Practice Green Health, 2019 Data

Another year of assisting health systems with Practice Green Health awards has come to a close!

Key Green Solutions has been helping upload data to the Practice Green Health award application for years. This year, we were able to help 13 healthcare systems: Bronson, Dignity, Harvard’s Beth Israel Deaconess, Hackensack, Johns Hopkins, Montefiore, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Sutter, Seattle Children’s, Stanford, University of California, Veterans Affairs, and Valley Health.

Key Green Solutions is a great tool to use for applications such as Practice Green Health and the Cool Food Pledge. When you don’t have time to put together all the numbers, we step in and do it for you. We are happy to help make a time-consuming task much more manageable, and look forward to working with more healthcare– and beyond– systems in the future!

Key Green Solutions Customer Saves Energy and Money by Retrofitting Lamps

1 simple way to produce real energy savings; a Key Green Solutions hospital customer retrofitted their lamps from T12 to T8 and saved both energy and money.

The hospital saw several benefits after retrofitting from T12 to T8

It was simple to do.
They saved over $50,000 annually.
Their simple payback was less than 2 years.
T8 lamps function with reduced mercury, a potentially harmful substance used in many lighting fixtures, therefore T8s are more sustainable.

The hospital utilizes Key Green Solutions sustainability software suite to measure and manage their energy conservation initiatives. Find out how your hospital can utilize Key Green software – the first 30 minute phone call is free – Call Jeff Burks, Relationship Manager at 877-777-0862.
