With razor-thin margins in healthcare, it is understandable that every request for capital and operational investment be fully vetted to ensure the project’s merit prioritization. Considering most healthcare executives are not experts in facility management, it is equally important that the facility manager has their trust if project requests are to be selected for funding. To become the agent of change for facility investment one must first develop a plan to grow their personal trust capital, along with their plan to improve investment.</p><h3><small>Speaker:</small></h3><div><div><p><img src="https://www.ashe.org/sites/default/files/2023-11/Mark_Kenneday_headshot_200x200.jpg" width="125" height="125"></p><p><strong>Mark Kenneday</strong></p><p>Director of Market Strategy and Development at Gordian</p></div></div><div><div><p> </p></div></div> Thu, 04 Apr 2024 09:41:58 -0500 Financial Management https://www.ashe.org/sustainability/decarbonization/management-emissions-purchased-energy <p>The blend of fuels used to support an electric grid can vary greatly by both region and time of day, but there are resources available to gain a better understanding of this data.
