1 Tips for Healthcare Sustainability

2 MnTAP overview Funded by the state (MPCA) since 1984 Located at the University of Minnesota 12 staff members, with backgrounds in engineering and science Free and non-regulatory assistance

3 Technical assistance Pollution prevention (P2), reducing waste at the source More efficient use of raw materials Water conservation strategies Energy efficiency (E2) opportunities Cost savings for businesses!!

4 MnTAP industry focus areas Fiberglass Food processing Healthcare Metal casting Metal fabrication Metal finishing Mining Powder coating POTWs Pulp and paper

5 MnTAP services Telephone Demonstrations ti assistance and pilots Site visits it Web site resources Student interns Seminars and Materials workshops kh exchange Team facilitation

6 2009 P2 and E2 impact 761,400 lbs waste and emissions reduced 17.6 million gal water reduced 511,700 lbs materials reused 1.7 million kwh and 98,000 therms energy e conserved ed $1.1 million saved

7 Today s tips Reduce waste and emissions Reuse and recover materials Conserve water Increase energy efficiency Use renewable energy Implement e purchasing practices ces Use your eyes, nose, and ears

8 Reduce waste and emissions Incorporate more efficient i procedures and practices Upgrade to more efficient equipment Use less hazardous materials for workers and the environment

9 Example: Olmsted Medical Center MnTAP intern project goals Reduce number and toxicity of cleaning and disinfecting chemicals Improve efficiency of process Results Eliminated i redundant d and hazardous chemicals Implemented green cleaners and best practices Saving approximately $20, annually Increased safety for workers

10 Goal Example: Fairview OR Reduce waste associated with operating room procedure Results Reduced number of items in pick Substituting more accurate amounts of medicine needed Reduced 80 lbs of waste and 64 lbs of GHG emissions for every 40 surgeries

11 Example: Fairview Green Team Goal Reduce emissions and costs associated with monthly team meetings Results Hold meetings via conference call Saves $5,000 in travel time and costs for each meeting Eliminates 500 lbs of greenhouse gas emissions per meeting

12 Reuse and recover materials Reuse through Materials Exchange One person s waste is another person s treasure Saves money on purchase and disposal costs Conserves resources g

13 Items typically listed 3-ring binders Office furniture re Bubble wrap Packing peanuts Computers Pallets Drums/buckets Super sacks Gaylord boxes Wood scraps

14 Example: Chemical Exchange City of Bemidji had a large tote with sodium hydroxide Hadn t used in 10 years Keystone Automotive in Brainerd pumped 1,900 gallons of chemical into a truck Will use to neutralize their plating solutions

15 Conserve water Know your water flow Reuse water wherever possible cooling, rinsing, etc. Prevent water leaks with regular maintenance Use automatic shut-off nozzles and valves

16 Increase energy efficiency Energy efficiency i opportunities Employ energy efficiency practices Explore renewable energy options Use conventional sources of energy Areas to examine Compressed air Steam systems Facility energy uses

17 Compressed air insights Leaks An audible leak costs $700 in wasted energy annually Inappropriate uses Storage / pressure Control systems 8HP electricity to run a 1HP air motor 1 HP out / 8 HP in = 12.5% eff.

18 Steam system insights Boilers 50 HP and up Boiler size / age Missing i insulation / hot pipes Steam trap leaks/failure Condensate returns Frequent tuning

19 Facility energy insights Outlet t loads and water efficiency i Insulate hot water tanks Use EnergyStar rated equipment Lighting Use LED exit signs Replace T12 lamps with T8 lamps Install CFLs Use daylighting yg gsensors

20 Example: Ridgeview Medical Center Goal Conserve energy to delay energy plant expansion to better serve clients Results Team developed conservation plan Implemented changes to chiller and chilled water to reap big savings Stayed under $3 million budget and conserved enough to eliminate need for energy plant expansion

21 Example: Rock-Tenn Company MnTAP intern project Evaluated insulation of 20,000 ft of steam and condensate lines Implemented insulation project over 2 budget cycles, with help from Xcel Energy rebate Saved $171,000 annually in reduced energy use

22 Use renewable energy Solar Wind Geothermal Biomass

23 Example: Solar Wall Transpired air collector systems uses solar energy to preheat ventilation air and reduce utility bills Installations Minneapolis police station Minneapolis school site Aveda Corporation

24 Implement Purchasing Practices Environmentally preferable purchasing practices Specify products that reduce the impact on the environment and human health Packaging g Energy efficiency Recycled content products Reusability, etc. Design for the Environment (DfE) endorsed

25 Example: St. Luke s Hospital Implemented at hospital with MnTAP intern Vendors must answer EPP questions Products environmental performance How vendors identify environmentally-preferable products Cit Criteria i vendors are using to select preferable products All products must go through review Decision-making tool for purchasers

26 Use your eyes, ears, nose Hear the hiss of a compressed air leak Hear water running from a hose or tap See spills or leaks on the floor See excess inventory taking up floor space Smell solvent from a process See a dumpster full of cardboard
