Challenge
Today, Healthcare represents almost 20% of the US National Economy, 10% of US carbon emissions, and 5% of global carbon emissions… and growing. Rather than “doing no harm,” healthcare is actively fueling the carbon fire. Reducing onsite combustion – a key to eliminating carbon emissions — is notoriously difficult. Together we can (and must) change that paradigm.
Opportunity meets possibility.
The change we need to create together is possible. Mazzetti, on behalf of the California Energy Commission (CEC), is building a community to share best-in-class thinking towards reducing carbon emissions. The California Energy Commission (CEC) awarded Mazzetti a grant (in 2020) to create THE guidebook to decarbonize hospitals in California. Naturally the guidebook will have implications beyond California hospitals. This opportunity perfectly aligns with Mazzetti’s vision to create healthier, enduring environments. And, what better sector to do this in, than Healthcare?!
In this effort, we are striving to create a community of passionate and curious people to advance the mission of decarbonizing healthcare. And, ultimately, we are building a “living” guidebook, from which, all California hospitals can benefit, addressing the most challenging questions: How can we reduce the use of steam? Can we evolve codes? Can we optimize the building to use less energy? How do we pay for it? How do we get leadership to support what is necessary?
