Mazzetti’s Earth Day Bending the Climate Curve™ lecture series focused on Renewable Development in Healthcare. The lecture addressed questions such as: How might renewable energy development be part of the solution? How do you consider and assess your overall energy strategy? What’s the general process and SMEs needed to execute this strategy? How the heck do you pay for it?!

In the world of Smart Buildings and IOT (Internet of Things), the Building Automation System (BAS) has a critical role. The BAS can be much more than an enhanced time clock and/or setpoint optimizer. It can (and arguably should) play a critical role in an energy efficient strategy, empowering operators with real-time performance data, while maintaining safe and comfortable conditions for occupants.

Mazzetti is helping transform healthcare infrastructure through renewable energy, working in partnership with Valley Children’s Healthcare.  

What started as a quest for improving aging energy infrastructure and overall operational resilience, evolved to an opportunity to become the first net-zero pediatric hospital campus in the country and largest renewable energy microgrid for a hospital emergency system in the country.

Striving to become the first net-zero pediatric hospital campus in the country, Valley Children’s Healthcare is launching a revolutionary energy resilience and environmental strategy. Upon completion, Valley Children’s will achieve net-zero carbon emissions and operate the largest pediatric healthcare-based renewable energy microgrid in the country.

This story has been literally years in the making. It’s been a quest to illuminate truth. It’s about “right-sizing” the electrical systems appropriate to actual electrical demand. As you may recall, this research (Mazzetti has been spearheading for years), is meant to illustrate the ACTUAL peak electrical demand when a hospital is stressed to the max... Queue a once-in-a-century pandemic.

Healthcare leaders are increasingly recognizing the responsibility of the industry to respond to this crisis. In the world of design, we say that “form follows function”...

The International Federation of Healthcare Engineering (IFHE), with support from the Association of Medical Facility Professionals (AMFP) and Mazzetti, has launched its first ever Global Healthcare Energy Awards. The awards aim to encourage healthcare facilities around the world to commit to a reduction in energy use that will ultimately lessen the entire global health system’s intensive carbon footprint, all through a simple energy tracking process.

Please join us in welcoming seasoned MEP engineer Stacey Lin, who joined Mazzetti as a Principal in San Francisco, CA. He brings 25+ years of experience, specializing in sustainable design.
