Thermal Energy International helps St. George’s Hospital secure short-listing for energy efficiency award
03/09/12 -- Thermal Energy International’s heat recovery system is proving to be so successful at reducing St. George’s Healthcare NHS Trust’s carbon emissions and energy costs that the Trust has been short-listed for the HSJ Award’s Energy Efficiency Award.? Thermal Energy International Flue Gas Condensing Economisers provide the Trust with a heat recovery solution for use on its heating and hot water system.
The 31st year of the prestigious awards will take place in London on September 25. St. George’s has been short-listed for demonstrating exceptional cost savings and efficiencies without sacrificing their impeccably high standards of patient care.
The St. George’s heat recovery project is calculated by Thermal Energy to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 2,800 tonnes a year and reduce energy consumption by approximately 15 million KWhrs annually. The important project will help St. George’s Hospital Trust towards the key targets of reducing carbon emissions by 80% by the year 2050 now set by the UK Government.
Thermal Energy has worked closely with the NHS over the last 3 years to develop a number of energy saving and emission reducing projects for both its Flue Gas Condensing Economiser and its GEM venturi orifice steam traps. This was the 6th heat recovery collaboration project between a NHS Trust and Thermal Energy International. Thermal Energy estimates that collectively these 6 projects are expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 7,300 tonnes annually and reduce energy consumption by approximately 36 million kW annually.
