This event primes you to identify low-cost energy savings opportunities from behavioral, operational, and maintenance actions. Since its inception the Energy to Care Treasure Hunt program has been a remarkable success in helping hospitals become more energy efficient, enabling cost savings and more resources for patient care. The program has helped hospitals find, on average, $900,000 in annual energy savings opportunities! These incredible case studies have solidified this program as a powerful tool for hospitals striving to reduce costs and inspire change, promoting a culture of environmental sustainability. Attendees will learn how to apply what they’ve learned on the “hunt” at their own facilities, creating ripple effects of cultural change and resource conservation.</p><p><strong>Attendees of this program will:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Engage</strong> in a dynamic process for identifying energy savings opportunities</li><li><strong>Utilize</strong> real-world, hands-on techniques for pinpointing and enacting measurable savings</li><li><strong>Practice </strong>calculating annual cost reductions associated with energy savings</li><li><strong>Become inspired </strong>to build a culture of continuous improvement for energy efficiency</li></ul><p><span><strong>Location and full agenda COMING SOON!</strong></span></p> Join us for our day-long <strong>Special Projects </strong>module, where you'll analyze common pitfalls in project management and risk assessment through a collaborative approach while identifying workable solutions for emerging problems. <br> <br> <strong>Earn 7 CECs.</strong> </p> <p> <strong>Special Projects take-home objectives:</strong> </p> <ul> <li> Explain how construction, renovation, and repair projects in the health care environment require careful risk assessment to ensure the safety of patients, staff, and visitors. </li> <li> Discuss the steps involved in the Planning, Design & Construction (PDC) process and how to apply this process to projects in their facilities. </li> <li> Identify critical steps for ensuring emergency preparedness in health care facilities. </li> <li> Articulate the operational budget implications of special projects to leadership.. </li> </ul> <p> <a href="https://www.ashe.org/education/foundations-health-care-facilities-management"><strong>View complete program information >></strong></a> </p> <hr>--><p><strong>Register today for this preconference event at the ASHE 2026 Health Care Facilities Innovation Conference.</strong></p> Wed, 22 Apr 2026 10:34:09 -0500 Health Care Facility Management https://www.ashe.org/education-events/foundations-health-care-facilities-management-daily-operations-health-care-facilities-innovation-conference <p>Health care facilities managers play a vital role in the mission to enable positive outcomes for patients by maintaining a safe, comfortable, and compliant healing environment.
