Reusable Insulation Nets Energy Savings for Hospital
Utility incentive key to project approval
Shannon Enterprises of W.N.Y., Inc., a designer and maker of reusable thermal and acoustic insulation, in partnership with Thomaston, Conn., Shannon Energy Resources, has completed a capital project to save energy for Attleboro, Mass.-based Sturdy Memorial Hospital. Shannon Energy installed reusable, custom-engineered thermal insulation throughout the hospital’s mechanical rooms and steam distribution system.
Since completing the project in December 2017, the hospital’s campus has reduced natural gas use by approximately 8,000 therms per month. The hospital has also seen temperatures in the hospital’s mechanical rooms reduced by approximately 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
