Large Hospital, Lavonia GA
St. Mary’s Sacred Heart Hospital, located in Lavonia, GA, is proud to serve the people of Franklin, Hart, Stephens, and beyond by providing mission-driven, high-quality healthcare.
Quality and Reliability, Efficient Electricity Usage
A wide range of high-quality services is offered, including surgical services, a mother/baby unit, critical care, and 24/7 emergency care. In partnership with highly qualified medical staff, specialty services are made available close to home.
Plus, being part of St. Mary’s Health Care System provides access to even higher levels of care when needed. Sacred Heart Hospital strives to provide the most complete range of locally delivered health care possible — from emergency cardiac and stroke care, to an outstanding family birth center, to extended rehabilitation after an accident or illness.
Reducing Energy Costs
Looking for ways to cut operating costs, European Power Management Systems was appointed to reduce the facility’s electricity bill by optimizing the power demand.
The customized energy efficiency project reduced the annual electricity bill by over $35,791, while enabling real-time monitoring of load profile and power usage.
Energy Savings
The new generation of the advanced Terawatt Intelligent Demand Response Technology provides a fully automated 24-hour real-time power optimization based on a customized, proprietary algorithm.
Terawatt iDR Systems leverage proprietary programming consisting of the planning, implementing, monitoring, and optimizing of the facility’s electrical network in guaranteed projects.
It is a proven solution designed to effectively adjust and lower the pattern of electricity usage, reducing waste and identifying inefficient utilization of resources by interfacing selective loads of electrical equipment, fine-tuning inherent performance to the operation’s real needs — yet always respecting the operation design intent, production safety, and systems reliability.
The new tailored electricity load profile shapes the active instant power by adjusting the coefficient of simultaneity on demand, thus lowering electrical consumption, which equates to energy use (kWh) and peak demand (kW) cost-savings.
Key Benefits
Energy expenditure is now coherent with the facility’s load profile and characteristic electricity costs, attuned with the facility’s operational requirements — tailored year-round in a 24/7 permanent, fully automated optimization process, with:
- Remote access
- Real-time carbon emissions tracking
- Detailed monthly reporting of measured and verified results
A proven and reliable energy conservation solution.
Sustainability
The project energy savings result in an equivalent of reducing 425 tons of carbon dioxide (CO₂) — the equivalent of planting 94 acres of trees or reducing the use of 48,067 gallons of gasoline.
