Bridgeport Hospital has performed several energy efficiency upgrades designed to save the facility $5.1 million over the life of the improvements.
The Energize Connecticut initiative awarded the hospital $288,137 to perform upgrades such as new lighting sensors, an energy management system, better temperature controls, and the replacement of two boilers.
The hospital did not disclose the total cost of the project but said the $357,108 in annual savings would pay off the upfront investment in less than four years.
Bridgeport Hospital is a member of the Yale New Haven Health System. Energize Connecticut is an joint initiative of the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund and the Clean Energy Finance & Investment Authority, as well as local utilities.
