Energy-efficient equipment upgrades help healthcare facilities cut costs and leave more resources for improving patient care. Energy Trust’s Strategic Energy Management offering helped maintenance staff at the Samaritan Health Services hospitals in Albany and Lebanon find ways to save on utility bills with updated equipment. These projects also qualified for cash incentives, making them more affordable.

In her role as sustainability director at Scott Edwards Architecture (SEA), Changemaker Juliette Grummon-Beale sees mentorship and community building as key components of sustainable, equitable architecture.
