IndEco prepares energy management plans for University Health Network (UHN) hospitals

An IndEco project report
IndEco, as part of our role as project managers of UHN’s comprehensive energy management and engagement program – TLC, Care to Conserve, has prepared energy management plans for two of UHN’s three hospitals – Toronto Western Hospital (2008-2011) and Toronto General Hospital (2009-2012).
These three-year energy plans provide a detailed framework for all energy management activities at the hospitals including, but not limited to, development and implementation of the TLC program – community based social marketing, employee engagement, retrocommissioning and operator training– as well as implementation of detailed energy audits and retrofits.

The energy management plans identify priority actions including those underway that should continue, those that should get started immediately (within the first six months of the plan) and those that should be implemented within the duration of the plan.

IndEco will update these reports on an annual basis and conduct a major review of the plans every three years near plan expiry. In early 2010 IndEco will also prepare a plan for UHN’s third site – Princess Margaret Hospital.
