Success Stories - Energy Treasure Hunt

Overview of Case Study

Searching for hidden treasure is fun, and you don’t need a shovel or metal detector to do it! In the past year, four hospitals have participated in ENERGY STAR Treasure Hunts, events that uncover energy-saving opportunities throughout a facility.

The most recent event was held at Northwest Hospital & Medical Center in Seattle in July. The hunt was part of an overall energy training session held after the ASHE Annual Meeting.

ā€œENERGY STAR Treasure Hunts are a great way for hospitals to uncover money-saving

sponsored the Treasure Hunt training session. ā€œAnd they help develop an overall culture of
energy conservation in the facility.ā€
