DESCRIPTION:Join us for a session on Energy Consumption and Green House Gas
 es GHG for Health Care Facilities. Find out why Health Care inpatient faci
 lities are one of the top consumers of energy and GHG emitters. Inpatient 
 healthcare is ranked by the EPA as the second largest commercial energy us
 er in the U.S. and is responsible for 8.5% of all greenhouse gas emissions
 . Yet\, the industry has done little over the last decade to embrace susta
 inable\, cost-effective energy solutions – until now. Over the past 12 m
 onths there have been significant developments in the healthcare industry.
  These include:\n\n- An industry-wide commitment to net zero by 2050\n- Pr
 oposed sustainability requirements from The Joint Commission\n- CMS' recog
 nition of microgrids as a form of emergency power\n\nThis session will exp
 lore the paradigm shift taking place in healthcare. In addition to the poi
 nts above\, common pitfalls and key considerations will be shared for stak
 eholders looking to implement microgrid solutions at healthcare facilities
