Read about ENERGY STAR, HELP, and energy in Canadian health care in this October 11 column from Hospital News, written by Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care Communications Director Kent Waddington:
"Rising utility costs are once again prompting a growing number of Canada's over 3,500 health care facilities and their facility managers to turn their attention to ways in which they can reduce their reliance upon fossil fuels. Many are turning to ENERGY STAR for assistance."
ENERGY STAR HELP is delivered through a collaborative partnership between My Sustainable Canada and the Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care. Both organisations are ENERGY STAR participants.
