Energy Benchmarking for US Hospitals Resources
For health care facilities managers, engineers, designers, academics and other non-AHJ professionals. Learn how your health care facility’s energy use and energy reduction efforts compare to national benchmarks with this new report — utilizing data collected from hundreds of hospitals from around the country participating in ASHE’s Energy to Care Program. With this established baseline for energy use, outlined by hospital size and U.S. region in this report, hospitals can focus on strategies for reasonably reducing utility costs and optimizing performance.

Energy Benchmarking for US Hospitals
For Authorities Having Jurisdiction. This report shares national benchmarks for health care facilities’ energy use and reduction efforts — utilizing data collected from hundreds of general medical and surgical hospitals from around the country between 2018 and 2022.
Energy data from ASHE’s Energy to Care program is analyzed and sorted by U.S. region, providing authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ) and regulatory entities metrics that can help them set energy use intensity (EUI) targets and energy reduction goals for health care facilities that improve efficiency, reduce operating costs and optimize performance.
