Medical and process equipment efficiency

Intent

To reduce energy consumption by using efficient medical and other equipment.

Requirements

Reduce the energy load for all diagnostic imaging equipment (x-rays, MRIs, etc), sterilization, and point- of-use electric steam generators installed in the project, (but excluding other types of medical equipment):

• At least 50%, by rated power, of medical equipment purchased for the project shall be among the 25th percentile of lowest energy consumers for that class of equipment. Equipment shall be compared based on their continuous (or “standby”) mode electrical energy consumption.
