Energy Conservation Measures: A Support Handbook for Facilities Management Teams

Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) are reliable, unbiased resources that can help organizations integrate sustainable practices into the health care environment.

Health care organizations are increasingly focused on ways to cut energy and utility expenditures to improve upon established sustainability goals. Facilities management teams are a critical resource in essential efforts to cut back on energy and utility savings.

ASHE has developed 52 actionable ECMs in eight categories – Prepare, Schedule, Control, Repair, Audit, Replace, Planning, Design, & Construction, and General Sustainability – to help facilities management teams better manage energy use and advance your health care facility’s sustainability journey.
