ASHRAE Technology Award: Rethinking Hospital Design
Using integrated design helped the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre to achieve an annual savings of $475,000. Strategies included high-efficiency (85%) gas-fired hot water boilers, two at 4,900 kW and one at 2,000 kW, and a flue gas heat recovery system for building reheat loads and domestic hot water heating.
