Winnipeg Health Sciences Centre
 

The Challenge:

One of Canada's largest health care facilities (nearly 3 million square feet), the Winnipeg Health Sciences Centre (HSC) cares for over 30,000 in-patients and more than 350,000 out-patient/clinic visits annually. Hospitals and healthcare facilities - many of which operate around the clock - typically use more than twice as much energy per square foot as commercial buildings, necessitating a superior energy management plan.

The Solution:

Prism worked with the HSC on an action plan that documented past energy management activities and developed a long-term energy management strategy. Proposed building systems improvements spanned all major energy cost reduction opportunities, including:

  • boiler plant upgrades
  • chiller plant upgrades
  • HVAC upgrades
  • lighting upgrades
  • motor replacements
  • compressed air upgrades
The Impact:

For a capital investment of approximately $4M, implementation of the Energy Management Action Plan and the findings in the mechanical and lighting studies could result in utility savings of approximately $800,000 annually.
