Of this, nearly 5.9 million tons of waste per year are generated by the health care industry alone, resulting in roughly $10 billion in annual disposal costs. Considering that supply chain costs are typically the second largest expense for health care providers and most of these procured materials ultimately go to waste, this is also a significant waste of capital that could potentially be reinvested back into other areas such as patient care. In order to combat the challenge of reducing waste and associated costs, hospital purchasing managers and sustainability staff are increasingly seeking out methods to improve the fiscal and environmental responsibility of their supply chains.</p><p>Many health care providers are turning to ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, a free online tool developed by the U.S. EPA to track and evaluate building energy, waste, and water usage, in order to reduce consumption and costs in their own facilities and influence greener purchasing decisions. This session will focus on how health care supply chain professionals can leverage ENERGY STAR tools and resources to help inform sustainable purchasing decisions, generate financial savings, and achieve organizational sustainability goals.</p><h4><small>LEARNING OBJECTIVES</small></h4><ul><li>Learn the benefits of procuring ENERGY STAR certified equipment, how to find them, and sample procurement language.</li><li>Understand the information required to benchmark facility waste or energy performance.</li><li>Define the benefits of achieving ENERGY STAR certification for buildings or tenant space in the supply chain.</li></ul><h4><small>CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS</small></h4><p>Earn 1 CEC for attending this educational webinar.</p><h4><small>SPEAKER</small></h4><p><strong>Clark Reed</strong><br>National Program Manager<br>US Environmental Protection Agency (MC-6202A)</p> Mon, 16 Sep 2024 23:07:06 -0500 Career/Professional Development Supplementing your EVS Training with Simulation Labs /education-events/supplementing-evs-training <p>91°µÍøºÚÁÏhas many tools that cater to the training and knowledge growth of EVS technicians.
