Case Study: Sutter Health reduces hospital energy use with Southland Industries

Sutter Health cuts hospital EUI 25% with Southland Industries

Sutter Health, a major healthcare system in California, sought to reduce energy utilization across its portfolio of hospitals and clinics. Their challenge was to identify operational deficiencies and implement energy conservation measures to meet environmental stewardship goals while managing daily facility pressures. They partnered with vendor Southland Industries for a retro-commissioning program.

Southland Industries implemented a comprehensive program at the Mills Peninsula Medical Center, improving lighting, chilled water, hot water, and air systems. The solution included repairing failed components and installing analytics software for easier maintenance. This $6.1 million project, partially funded through a utility program, created $1.2 million in annual energy cost savings. Southland Industries helped achieve a 25% reduction in the hospital's energy utilization intensity, improving both operational performance and environmental control.
