Abstract
Energy benchmarking of Horizon Health Network's facilities has been the foundation of an energy management system for the health authority that has led to greenhouse gas emission reductions. Benchmarking energy consumption and appropriately understanding the true impact of energy consumption is the first step in setting target greenhouse gas emission reduction. ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager® is the benchmarking tool used by Service New Brunswick for all Government of New Brunswick owned buildings, including all 41 owned Horizon healthcare facilities. This web-based tracking tool then produces benchmarks which supports identification of energy conservation opportunities and efficiencies. Progress for energy conservation and efficiency measures can then be monitored and reported. Since 2013, this approach has supported 52,400metric tonnes reduction in greenhouse gas emission from Horizon facilities.
