What Are You Waiting For? [Cost of Waiting Pt 2]
If you’ve ever thought of taking on an efficiency project, such as installing LED lighting or moving forward with mechanical efficiency upgrades, do it now!

Hospitals are among the most energy intensive facilities in the United States. With the rising cost of energy, many healthcare facilities are seeking ways to cut costs without compromising the quality of patient care.
LED solutions have rapidly grown in popularity, unsurprisingly for their energy efficiency and long-term cost effectiveness.
Hospitals demand high energy use from HVAC systems, operating rooms in particular. The ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE codes that govern operating room design have strict requirements for temperature, humidity, ventilation air changes and pressurization.
As a project manager for the Efficiency Solutions division at Mantis Innovation, I’m responsible for facilitating the design/build process for the energy solutions we provide, including lab light and LED fixtures for biotech buildings.
Most facilities could benefit from increased energy efficiency, upgraded energy systems and new equipment installations. Deciding on different ways to ensure proper, effective functioning is a key part of facility management success.
“Custom” can sometimes feel out of reach. Custom suits, custom-designed cars, anything with a monogram – they cost more, they feel fancy. Is it really worth going custom?
Is it better to install one energy solution at a time or pursue multiple solutions together? These describe two major efficiency project strategies: piecemeal and comprehensive.
