Brigham & Women’s Hospital
How a leading hospital has achieved consistent energy and operations savings for more than a decade
Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) is a world-class academic medical center. The hospital serves patients from across the United States and from 120 countries around the world. A major teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, BWH has a legacy of clinical excellence. Their 10-year partnership with InSite consistently delivers value and contributes to the hospital’s reputation for excellent patient outcomes.
The Challenge
In 2014, the Brigham Utility and Engineering Team needed help to identify efficiency opportunities to reduce their $20M annual utility spend at its main campus. In 2022, the Shapiro Cardiovascular Center was added to the 3 million square foot campus in Boston, Massachusetts.
In a large facility with limited staffing and tens of thousands of points that could be monitored, an outside resource was needed to keep a focused eye on facility operations and deliver consistent reports. The goal was to facilitate a deeper understanding of which issues require attention that the operations team might otherwise not quickly detect.
